I created this deck by selecting HB: EtF, and then picking 3 of the top card suggested by netrunnerdb over and over, staying within agenda limits, until I had 49 cards.

I present to you, the quintessential HB glacier deck, according to netrunnerdb.

You're going to have to be careful to win the econ race early, probably using Heinlein Grid and Eli. If you can manage to get your campaigns pumping and resolve a single Accelerated Beta Test + Jackson combo, you'll probably be in good shape.

I'll be sleeving this up to take to my LGS soon, so I'll let you know how clever the site's algorithms actually are.

Looking at the creation process:

1) Hedge Fund. Makes sense, most Corp decks use 3x Hedge Fund.

2) Accelerated Beta Test. I could see how this is the most common EtF agenda.

3) Eli 1.0. Likewise, a solid piece of Ice, universally used.

4) Project Vitruvius. Seems like this is pulling toward a Biotic Labor build. 3/2s are good.

5) Jackson Howard. 'nuff said.

6) Eve Campaign. Now I'm a bit surprised. I would expect Adonis Campaign in this spot. I cannot think of any EtF decks that favor Eve over Adonis.

7) Adonis Campaign. AH, here he is.

8) Ichi 1.0. At this stage I am assuming that the algorithm does not factor in counts in its calculation - while all the previous cards are popular 3-ofs, Ichi is generally as 1-of or 2-of.

9) Viktor 2.0. This is a reasonable choice for EtF, they have the money and str5 Code Gate is tough to get through.

10) Sentinel Defense Program. Again, a surprising choice. SFP is pretty rare, and I did not see anything in the previous selections that biased toward it (no Janus 1.0, for example).

11) Heimdall 2.0. Surprised this is above Heimdall 1.0.

12) Project Wotan. I guess that the abundance of Bioroids convinced the algorithm to pull this agenda.

At this stage I'm guessing we've gone through the Bioroid rabbit hole, the next choices are Heimdall 1.0, Ichi 2.0, Heinlein Grid, Wotan, and Bioroid Efficiency Research.

I'll have to say that the final result is not that bad. I think this deck is a solid Glacier option. 3-ofs of Wotan and the Ichis are a bit baffling, it could use NAPD over Sentinel, and probably some cheap, non-Bioroid ETRs. Otherwise, though, this could work!

I actually have an EtF deck that's been winning like crazy on Octgn and uses Eve over Adonis. I don't normally use her for credits though, more to slow the runner down so I can score Mandatory Upgrades. If they let Eve resolve I'll switch to taxing glacier strategy, which works equally well.

For this deck, I was just click 3 for everything. My first thought on cleaning it up is: -1 of both Heimdalls, Wotan, and -2 from between the Ichi twins, +6 NEXT ice, and NAPD over Sentinel. After that I'd have to run it a few times to work out what's going on.

WHY NO ASH.

@daytodave yes, I repeated your created process :-) That's how I got the steps in the list above.

I love that kind of ideas. The suggestions feature is not meant to be a super-powerful, tournament-winning adviser, but I hope it's a fun and sometimes useful addition to the deckbuilder.

@Alsciende It makes it HELLA quick to get some of the basics in place. Keep doin' what you're doin'!

@Lord_Reynardine really? Cool! I should put up a poll to know if and how people are using it.
