v1.1: Closed accounts is down to 1 to free up influence for a second Lotus Field. I needed more hard ETR ice that isn't in D4v1d range, and besides, you can always just tutor for the CA with an Atlas token if you absolutely have to. Chimera is also out to make room for two copies of Interns to bring back either of the two Grids in a pinch.
The ice is nastier. The Oversight AI is real. The Scorch is a mercy.
This version of Blue Sun has teeth, and it relies on OAI as raw fuel for its economic engine. Pop it on your costly pieces of ice-- Curtain Wall, Janus, Tollbooth if you must though that isn't preferable -- and call them back to get free money. Fly your two Data Ravens to whichever server needs protecting, but plan on keeping at least one over HQ if you have a Crisium Grid installed. That's because once you build up your taxing fortress servers, just one simple Closed Accounts is all it takes to shut the runner out. And scoring the Eden Fragment almost makes this deck laughably good.
Plan on having a heavily stacked HQ because once Crisium Grid gets online behind an ice fortress there, accessing the remote in which you've loaded Off The Grid becomes an absolute bear. Trashing OTG will require two successful runs on HQ with an additional tax of 5c to trash the Crisium on the first run. That means with even one Data Raven and a Crisium on HQ they can't make the runs to clear Off The Grid and access your remote without clearing the two tags they rack up. Then you either dropped a Closed Accounts to lock them out of your servers on future runs, or they need to hope you don't have the double Scorched in hand.
I've debated either swapping the Tollbooth for a third Data Raven, or actually dropping the Closed Accounts for another Lotus Field + another Wall of Thorns, but I think for now this is how the deck will stay.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The deck still has the standard Hedge Funds and Beanstalks though, which along with OAI, are the primary Jackson targets. I could, I suppose, look at freeing up room for Restructure or Paywall Implementation. Plus, OAI is meant to feed more into the early game econ, before D4v1d, Knight, and e3 all get rolling - yeah they're scary, but they're not deck-breaking. What else did you have in mind for diversifying? |

AIZ can bring in some small change or Andonis campaign, failing that theirs always agendas Wayland's got plenty of money making agendas theirs also Gila Hands. a bit of bad pub is a small price to pay for some econ cause using bad pub hits the NAPD so maybe stick to non bad pub agendas if you wanna keep it in. |

So let me get this straight...the Crisium text and the OTG text work in tandem? A successful run on HQ would still mean that your remote is protected if Crisium wasn't trashed? |

Sweet. I'll be lookin' for ya on there, heh. I could test out my Sil deck against your Blue Sun... :) |
I think relying on OAI for econ will be a mistake theirs going to be a lot of Quetzal decks appearing i reckon and they will all have E3's, D4v1d, Knight ect. Id look at diversifying it a little more.
