Shadows of the Sun v1.2

v1.2: Closed Accounts is out while I focus on better, more taxing ice. I think Ichi 2.0 could be the winning splash in this deck so long as its out before D4v1d. If I see the Big D being too prevalent I'll swap it out for a 1.0 and maybe another Eli.

v1.1: Closed accounts is down to 1 to free up influence for a second Lotus Field. I needed more hard ETR ice that isn't in D4v1d range, and besides, you can always just tutor for the CA with an Atlas token if you absolutely have to. Chimera is also out to make room for two copies of Interns to bring back either of the two grids in a pinch.

The ice is nastier. The Oversight AI is real. The Scorch is a mercy.

This version of Blue Sun has teeth, and it relies on OAI as raw fuel for its economic engine. Pop it on your costly pieces of ice-- Curtain Wall, Janus, Tollbooth if you must though that isn't preferable -- and call them back to get free money. Fly your two Data Ravens to whichever server needs protecting, but plan on keeping at least one over HQ if you have a Crisium Grid installed. That's because once you build up your taxing fortress servers, just one simple Closed Accounts is all it takes to shut the runner out. And scoring the Eden Fragment almost makes this deck laughably good.

Plan on having a heavily stacked HQ because once Crisium Grid gets online behind an ice fortress there, accessing the remote in which you've loaded Off The Grid becomes an absolute bear. Trashing OTG will require two successful runs on HQ with an additional tax of 5c to trash the Crisium on the first run. That means with even one Data Raven and a Crisium on HQ they can't make the runs to clear Off The Grid and access your remote without clearing the two tags they rack up. Then you either dropped a Closed Accounts to lock them out of your servers on future runs, or they need to hope you don't have the double Scorched in hand.

I've debated either swapping the Tollbooth for a third Data Raven, or actually dropping the Closed Accounts for another Lotus Field + another Wall of Thorns, but I think for now this is how the deck will stay.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.
