Since Blue Sun: Powering the Future will receive hefty nerfs post rotation (OAI, Project Atlas I miss you already) I wanted to post my lattest iteration of my big money/bootcamp glacier featuring Sandburg style build.

Simple enough as concepts go, you protect centrals with your low end ice while leaving remote defense to your chunkier ice, money up and drop Sandburg in your primary remote while your not scoring agendas and since you are blue sun you may move your sandburg to your Adonis Campaign remote while you are scoring.

I personally think that Sandburg feels most at home in blue sun, even more so than in EtF because of all the hard EtR that cannot be clicked through, the flexibility blue sun offers that enables you to move/restart your Sandburg by bouncing big ice and it helps your gearcheck-ice to stay relevant and taxing during the mid-to late game while your big ice finishes the job protecting your servers.

and because 8-9 str Ice walls are hilarious ;)

The same goes for Caprice Nisei, move her around as necessary, I even use her to counter temüjin running since she is not as integral to my gameplan as she is in other glacier decks.

That said, thanks to the lack of D4V1D destroying your OAIed ice in current shaper and criminal builds you are able to out-econ temüjin engines at least short term to squeeze out those crucial 4-5 points to put you an matchpoint with GFI.

The deck is also quite adept at fighting those annoying Blackmail/Rebirth Valencia builds since they are generally just a little slower than you, you can OAI/bootcamp ice on key servers and because Sandburg screws with Faust in ridiculous ways.

All in all it is a fun deck that rewards you for playing and sticking with because it does require a good amount of foresight to figure out when to bounce, when to build and when to push agendas through.

Comments and criticism always appreciated.

Why didn't you call this deck 'Sandburg & Sun'?
