The NEXT King of England

I play NEXT almost exclusively. This is a NEXT Design Deck that I have only been theory crafting in anticipation of the completion of the Lunar cycle but have yet to test.

Levy University doesn't seem to see much play but I think it is perfect with the Grail suite of ice. It searches up the other pieces to sit in your hand allowing you to choose from any of the four at any time making for painful and taxing runs.

There is a strong economy in the Hedge Funds and Successful Demonstrations. With the hard ETR ice, and heavy taxes the large bioroids and Grails represent the Successful Demonstrations shouldn't have an issue being played. Melange can make you ridiculous amounts of money fast. Hedge Fund is Hedge Fund.

There is 26 total ice in the deck. The NEXT ice I feel are auto-includes in a NEXT deck, not only for thematic reasons, but for the tax they represent. I wanted to include some really large, punishing ice as well and I think the four big bioroids do that job very well. They are difficult to click through, expensive to break, and Architect can quickly put them on the board. The brain damage also acts as an alternate win-con for the deck. The Grail ice is incredibly damaging, can crush the runner's tempo, and create early scoring windows.

Unlike most NEXT glacier decks, I feel this one has one of the more explosive starts that the ID is capable of. It can quickly build dangerous ice forts and then sit back and mine for credits all day long.
