Frozen In Time - Fast Advance

Creation & Control era Deckbuilding Challenge

Variations on a Theme (3/3): Fast Advance

Since Genesis and Spin are cycling out soon, we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane and build some "classic" decks. The challenge is to create and play with decks that were built using cards up to and including Creation and Control. Forget MWL limitations since that's intended for a different meta that what this deck would face.

About the deck itself: This is my HB Fast Advance deck. Since we don't have Shipment from SanSan yet, we're really playing second fiddle to an AstroScript-rushing NBN. But we do have great economy, and we have Biotic Labor. We also have advanceable ambushes in-faction, so we can take advantage of Trick of Light when we've got a scored Efficiency Committee. Ideally, I'd like an Ice Wall to also catch those Kaguya tokens, but I don't know what to pull form the fast advance package of Kaguya, ToL and SanSan City Grid.

Shipment from Kaguya and Trick of Light give us the capability to advance cards during an Efficiency Committee-extended turn. A nice trick, if you have the cards, is to advance an Aggressive Secretary as well as the target agenda twice using Kaguya, then use ToL to move the two counters from the Secretary to the agenda, scoring a 4 cost agenda out of hand in one turn for 1 credit.

Project Vitruvius is very important in this deck, since the counters let you efficiently re-use your operations over and over again. I try to always find a way to get at least one counter onto it. That said, an agenda scored is better than an agenda stolen, so don't hesitate to rush it with a Biotic Labor.
