Board meetings are frustrating.

My take on a Government Takeover scoring deck.

I hate to be That Guy, but you honestly need more economy in here. All but 3 of your ice costs 4 or more to rez, Snare! costs 4 to activate, and 3/1 agendas are expensive as shit to score. Maybe rework the agenda composition (Oaktown Renovation is basically the best agenda ever) to fit in at least some Beanstalk Royalties, and that will probably get you further.

But... I'm counting on Those Guys to comment and make this better :)

I wanted to include Royalties but then I forgot to adjust (-1 Root -2 Mills +3 Royalties).

The Renovation mucks up the plan of getting through hell to score 1 pointers that could be eventually nullified when The Board convenes.

I concur with That Guy on economy. Consider Ice Walls, Quandarys and especially Caduceuses. Keep a couple Archer and a Checkpoint if you must, but you'll hate yourself when you have 6 credits and a couple of centrals with no rezzed ice. Also, consider PAD Campaigns instead of Royalties. It is nice in horizontal builds and for a glacier like this it's better economy over the long term.

Also, did you consider The Future is Now into Glenn Station? A safe place to store Government Takeover would make this infuriating to a runner. I would do it just to see the look on his or her face.

Best of luck!

@PapaBear Τhe "proper" ICE scheme for this deck is fairly close to what you mention. Albeit that, I wanted to try it with Grail ICE and see if it works at all.

The Future is Now to Glenn Station to Government Takeover is a nice play, but the whole point is to have only 1-pointers except the Big Kahuna of Agendas. I would further refer you to the deck that mine is derived from.

I feel like any agenda worth more than 1 Point is a waste here, since it will quite hurt me if it gets stolen.
