Has regular glacier felt too fast?
Welcome to the Ice Age!
The main idea of this deck is to setup an oppressive lockout with:
Is the runner at 6 points?
Do you have the lockout?
Don't worry, but sit back and get ready for the longest game of your life!
Explanation:
With this basic setup, and the additional protections of Ganked! if they commit to access resulting in a board wipe/flatline, and Bio Vault to prevent even further accesses you can get into a lockout position where a full rig runner can't get anymore meaningful accesses.
One piece of abnormal strategy I've found is that since threat 3 is so important to this deck it will typically give up 3 points to turn on Ablative before scoring the initial Stegodon.
Getting Thimblerig rez'ed can also be surprisingly powerful in games your ice doesn't show up in the order you want to secure the lockout even further.

had a solid rig setup early, and was able to snipe the Stegodon the turn before I was going to jam itJai
to hit an unlikely Ganked! when digging R&D, causing a loop on Ravana.Jai
to dig himself out, but with Maw it actually came close.imyxh

correctly executed the steal of Stegodon and after that point the game was basically over.Jai
for executing so well against it!Well if it isn't clear by now this deck is too slow for regular tournament play.
The only reason this deck list worked is because async games are typically untimed. Although, your opponent can always ask for a time limit to be put on the game.
With the abnormal play pattern of giving up points before setting up the inevitable scoring lockout, this deck would typically flounder in any regular tournament play and lose on time.
This deck is fun to play and feels incredibly powerful when you get the lock setup, just please be courteous to your opponents if you decide to play this deck and give them a forewarning about possible game lengths. Not everyone is up for an hour+ game.

had an idea of adding NEXT Activation Command to the list which would prevent the runner from even being able to click the Bioroid subs within the Trieste lock.
I hadn't considered using NEXT Activation Command before, but do think it'd fit in/be worth exploring as I found I was mostly using Hákarl 1.0 for the ability to prevent Bioroid subs from being clicked rather than its power to derez as I initially thought.
I had the initial idea for the lockout with Stegodon + Ablative + Trieste. However, @maninthemoon
helped massively building out the AoT glacier shell around it.

for running the async tournament. The only place this deck could exist!jai

🚫 Avoid at all costs. Beat it quickly, or else strap into a comfy seat with slippers and popcorn and your favorite movie. Don't forget to bring an eject button. 🧠❌ Your brain will melt while calculating break costs, then forget to account for Trieste blocking you. You'll be so fatigued that you'll just not run while you watch the ice slowly spread, suffocating you before you take actions. Eventually you will lose. 🚭 NCIGS should also be applied to a corp creating a scenario where turn over turn feels like the Ice Age. |

You should play Marilyn Campaign to increase longevity. Sometimes you might need more then 44 turns turns to win. |

This was such a nasty and fun deck to build! Please don't play it anyone 😅
Great write up!
