Weyland - The Art of Glacier

moioioi 124

What does one do about rich runners? They will get in eventually. The only way to keep them out is by making it so difficult that they expend all resources and leave you with a scoring window.

I have found in many games with this deck that the scoring remote would be stacked 3-4 ICE thick. I like setting it up - utilizing the Blue Sun ability - to create nightmare servers with an Archer, a Hadrian's Wall, a Tollbooth and a Curtain Wall up top. Even the most efficient breakers would struggle.

There are plenty of early game ICE and the obvious Anarch hate, Lotus Field. Don't leave home without it. Same goes for Crisium Grid.

I built this deck before O&C hit the shelves to stymie the rampant Noise decks in my meta. The weakness of glacier decks is it's snail's pace and seeing 10-15 cards milled into archives can really ruin the corp's plans. This deck provides answers to most of those problems plus more, with plenty of credits and a Biotic Labor to finish off the scoring when the runner least expects it.

I've had a lot of fun playing this deck for the past couple of months. I recommend anyone wanting to go Weyland 'vegan' glacier to give this a go. It's old-school netrunner at it's best.

Solid looking deck, the only thing that comes to mind is replacing one archived memories for an adonis. The money off one of those can be crazy over the game.

@sruman Thanks for your input. The initial builds had an Adonis Campaign but I found there was ample credits recurring Oversight AI onto my big W ICE. For that, the second Archived Memories was needed for consistency.

I built this deck pre-O&C to combat all the Noise decks running rampant in my meta. Had to keep those mills safe at all costs!
