[STARTUP] Multi-iced Servers any% Speedrun

Okay, so startup has loads of ways through one ice: Endurance, Botulus, Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga, Slap Vandal and Inside Job. What if we just get two ice on a server really quickly?

This is the corp deck I brought to the Netbrummers Startup 2nament, which I was also TOing. Luckily there were an odd number of players without me, so I got to play. Since I was TOing, I knew that I wanted my decks to be as fast and aggressive as possible so that I could have lots of time within the round for judge calls and generally running the event. It went 2-1, beating Sable and Reina but losing to Loup. My runner was Mercury.

The aim is to build up multiple ice on a server as fast as possible and score as fast as possible after that. It has 16 ice in 44 so you are very likely to draw the ice you need, Cybersand Harvester to get money back from rezzing them, and Tucana to turn your scores into even more ice. Tempo agendas like Hostile Takeover and Oaktown Renovation (in Built to Last, you get 3c on your first advancement) further speed up your scores. Finally, we have Trick of Light for an endgame fast advance plan once the Runner has assembled their rig.

For the most part, this deck worked! It won two games by exactly the idea listed: building a two-ice remote and scoring out incredibly quickly. In the third game, I kept a hand with enough ice and a Send a Message, but then never got the tempo I needed to rush out before my opponent got set up with her Audrey v2 rig.

I wish the Send a Message was something else, but slots are extremely tight in a 44-card deck. There may also be a version running Vovô Ozetti which isn't afraid to go full glacier, but I'm unsure about that. I also would have loved the second Mestnichestvo - while the Virtual Service Agent was good and managed to really mess with Bankhar (turning "lose 1" into "do 1 net"), Mestnichestvo is just so good in Built to Last.
