I am trying to make a meat damage deck that can also score agendas. I am thinking placing 2-3 pieces of big ice on a server to score. If it is stolen I can punish the runner. |

If you wanted to do meat damage, here's what I would recommend for Blue Sun. First, your econ engine. Between Hedge fund and Oversight, you have a good early game. However, your long term game is lacking. The ice suite you have wouldn't be enough to protect your refineries, let alone your agendas. I would consider dropping the Eli's and an Architect for a pair of Eve campaigns. They make for good long term econ, and they can more or less protect themselves. The alternative is importing three adonis campaigns for faster cash, but they're cheaper to trash. However, you can pop them as Blue Sun before they run out for a free reinstall, and thus more money. Next, your method of meat damage. Normally, most people would choose either Punitive or Sea Source-Scorch, as opposed to both. I would recommend you consider the same approach. If you wanted to run a low agenda density (which I think is a good call for Blue Sun), I would recommend your current agenda pool, but instead replacing your NAPD Contracts with a Government Takeover, to make the most of Punitive Counterstrike, over Sea Scorch. For a GT, go for porous ice like Ichi 1.0 or some other destructive sentry to slow them down/ make the kill easy. Paywall implementation loves this. If you'd rather prefer Sea-Scorch, taxing ETR ice is what you want. A good include is Hive. Cheap (ish) to rez, costs 6 to break w/ corroder at best, and can be popped for cash when it has run out of subroutines, which takes only two agendas. Beyond that, cheap early game ice like Ice Wall and Meru Mati can buy you some time to do what you need to do, and can also do what ice does best. I would consider dropping architect and maybe errand boy, and replace them with potentially more taxing ice, like a Tollbooth or two, or maybe a Checkpoint for extra umph. Housekeeping works well with this. With this strategy, you could more flexibly change your agenda pool, with out worrying about the effectiveness of your kill. Beyond that, play around with any free card slots you have with things that you think would synergize with what I've discussed above. Play the deck, and see what works and what doesn't, specifically with what you have. P.S.: If you want to get rid of bad publicity easily, an Elizabeth Mills or two can work wonders in this identity. |
A good question to begin with is what do you want this deck to do? You have a bit of everything here.
