Blue Sun's Zenith V0,1

Cancer Ace 156

Just experimenting with the Blue Sun identity, but I think this list has potential.

The identity can let you reuse assets like Eve Campaign and Private Contracts to keep your Econ moving. Amazon Industrial Grid can give you similar benefits, letting you spend two to install a Hive but then gain five the following turn.

The ICE is a mix between cheap, early game ICE like Quandary, Ice Wall, Burke Bugs, and Hive, and ICE for later game like Archer and Curtain Wall. I would really like to find space to fit in other larger ICE such as Tollbooth, Hadrian's Wall, etc. as well, as I think this deck could benefit from them.

Eliza's Toybox and Amazon Industrial Grid allow for some return from your "investments."

The ICE definitely needs work, but seeing as I won't be running this deck anytime soon, there is time for improvement.

im not a fan of how you plan to use the identity ability as the runner will usually just trash the eve campaign or private contracts as they know you can use it forever.

if you plan to use toybox you need more big ice as its not worth using on ice that costs less than 7 credits to rez

you have 3 industrial zones and only 6 cards worth using it with

I would advice dropping most/all ice with a rez cost of less then 3 drop eve campaign and toybox and use the influence on tollbooth's and biroid ice

consider Akitaro Watanabe + Amazon to get -5 to rez cost (which can then be BSed) and look into ice like Shadow, Caduceus, Enigma and wall of static

First; this list is a month old and was tossed together as a whim, so don't take it too seriously.

So what if they do attempt to trash them? That's why I chose Eve Campaign and Private Contracts. The trash cost of 5 will dissuade some even if I am using them as an econ engine.

Why Seven Credits? I must be missing why that is the magic number, so if you could explain it to me I would appreciate it.

While I appreciate all of the advice regarding what to drop, dropping the Eve Campaigns completely would change the entire strategy of this deck. I would rather just build a new Blue Sun deck then. I may drop some to free up some influence, however. Akitaro has been being considered since the beginning.

Again, feedback is appreciated, but whether or not I do anything with it has yet to be determined since I still don't have Upstalk.
