Blue Sun Combo

structuremole 17

Basically, Blue Sun allows you to pull up your biggest ice to kill the runner, so it makes it a prime deck for Scorching. Tollbooth is also amazing, anything that's punishing to face-check is super great early game as well.

I think your right Blue Sun's power is having cash when they need it, i find it odd then that your only running 1 sea source and no other way to tag your scorch's are useless until you see it and you have no way to look for it.

Jackson -> Power Shutdown -> Accelerated Diagnostics is the way to "search" for SEA Source

Ah i see the title makes sense now.

Hostile Takeover and NAPD Contract don't synergize very well... Another way to find out SEA Source could be an overscored Project Atlas; the combo seems fine, but I think I will go for a classic "2x SEA Source" in my Blue Sun deck!

You can run Geothermal or another 4/2 instead of NAPD, but I've found that they really help in the economic war to be able to unleash the combo. 2x SEA Source might help on OCTGN to catch a careless player ending their turn with 3 cards in hand, but it's usually good to commit to one combo or the other, and I've found PS+AD to be more relevant as the game goes late.

I still have no idea how you actually use PS and AD

You power shutdown your entire deck with an AD in hand and Jackson on the table. You trigger jackson and put whatever operations back into the now 3 card deck (usually sea scorch scorch) and fire off AD to trigger them all at once for free.

@thebriarfox thanks for explaining

Notably, in the late game where they may have a plascrete and full hand or even two plascretes (requires scored Cleaners), you can still win if you have two ADs in hand. You can put Interns and Subliminal into the first usage of Jackson to put another Jackson on to the field for the second AD and Subliminal gives you the click to play it.

If runner have Eden Shard and use it after Power Shutdown all stack - win the game :)

Well, kind of. Actually, as it is the Corp's turn, the corp has priority going into the paid ability window and can use Jackson first.
