Plain Ol' Vanilla Ice Cream

A simple plain HB glacier deck. Edited after feedback from reddit.

This deck was built on 3 main principles:

1) Score agendas no matter what stage of the game. Being able to rush agendas early if necessary while keeping a reasonable board state is a must. NEXT Broze, Silver, Eli, Architect and biotic all help with this. However, also be able to glacier up and score out in the long run is also quite important. The scaling power of the NEXT suite helps here, along with the new NEXT gold and tollbooth, making your genereal taxing HB servers.

2) Make credits a la Weyland in order to achieve (1). It's rather difficult to be rezzing ICE and scoring all at the same time if you don't have any money. Thankfully, HB:EtF has no trouble making cash, with a built in PAD campaign and assets such as Adonis and Eve. The slow nature of this deck also makes restructure the card of choice, allowing you to click for 5 credits while taking it nice and easy.

3) Leverage your cash and tax the runner, while invalidating their credits. The most common way of making use of your money is rezzing ICE. However, you're always limited by the fact that there's only so much ICE you can rez during a run, and then any leftover credits usually don't help you. Now, Ash allows you to directly pit your credits against the runner, and more often than not, you should be the one on the winning side after the runner has broken through all your ICE and is poor.

However, it is a sad fact that these days, runners are filthy rich. This will only become worse with the arrival of clot as runners can now afford to slow down, allowing them even more time to amass a huge credit pool. In these cases, they will have no trouble paying through the nose to get through your troubleshooter or ash trace, so another solution is required. This solution comes at a hefty 4 influence, but guess what? Caprice doesn't care how many credits you have. Now, by using Caprice to force runners through your server again, you can tax them multiple times.

This deck is still rather untried, and will be heavily tested and tweaked. The current questions I aim to solve are:

• 8 or 9 agendas?

• Restructure or Blue Level Clearance?

• What is the best ICE composition for this deck?

Thanks for taking the time to read through, and all feedback is welcome.
