Bootcamp Glacier

a work in progress, but i believe that this is the best possible blue sun build at the moment right now. some of the card slots, like changeling, are metagame calls, but the bootcamp core is what really gives it its strength.

So you feel like the loss of the kill threat is acceptable? By the way, why do you still have a Taurus there in that case?

yes, vanilla glacier was always a good game plan, and I feel that EBC/adonis/DBS gives blue sun enough support to push its version of glacier into tier 1.

including scorched earth (or punitive) is a tradeoff: there are some games where it will do nothing as the runner plays around it, and you will wish it was extra money or ice. there are some games where it will give you a free win, but I feel most of those games would be winnable with agendas instead.

taurus is important as a 5 strength sentry that the runner needs to break. RDI is the most important target, and with adonis you're generally rich enough to make the trace threatening. with everyone running mimic now because of architect, caduceus is not enough.

Cool glacier. I sort of agree with @Bananifier, it feels like Grim would work better. RDI doesn't do much if you can trash a breaker.

shapers can recover better from losing a program than from losing an RDI, not to mention two RDIs.

Worst case Taurus trashes their console. They would still be able to naked run events in, but then you just Blue Sun it up for the refund. I Rezzed mine femmed once just to be able to do that.
