I am fairly happy with this deck and just won a local GNK with it, so I thought I would share it here.

I am playing operation economy in place of the standard BBG/Adonis/Eve package:

  • It is more resilient against Whizzard and Aeneas Andy.
  • I don't like the variance of relying on a two card combo. This is more consistent.
  • Unless your opponent is playing Account Siphon, you can play faster (hence title) than standard FoodCoats. You no longer have to spend time building an Adonis server and waiting for the payout before you are ready to score. With this deck you make money quick, and can pressure the runner early. Rushing like this is your game plan vs reg anarch decks, where their late game rig is unstoppable.

14 ice may seem low for a glacier deck. I started at 15 and kept ending up with late game ice floods. 14 feels right to me. I definitely would not play more than 15.

The deck purposefully excludes small and weak ice. With Inversificator being so prevalent, I wanted to make sure that any ice switching is of little benefit to the runner. It is a bummer when the FC3 on HQ and Vanilla on archives are switched.

Loki has been MVP. Becoming an unclickable FC3 is a huge blowout. Also, Loki does not have an ice type until the window for installing conspiracy breakers has passed, making it near impossible to break for some decks. It is a highly versatile and taxing ice.

Even if you can score your installed agenda, if you think it is safe for another turn, consider playing operation econ and waiting a turn. The deck is at its most powerful when you live in the 10-15 credit range. Going lower than that can put you in difficult positions.

One of my favorite plays is to IA an ABT, score it next turn, and use FIHP to make it safe.

The deck has been winning, and is a ton of fun to pilot. I hope you enjoy!

Your decks always make sense to me.

Very interesting deck variation on a popular theme. Do you find you have enough things to install to draw runners through your remote? Or are you not really playing the never advance game with this deck?

Do you think there's value to drop the Crisiums, NAPD, and one Architect to add another Caprice? It seems less consistent to just have one and the extra can have the same effect as a Crisium in the match-ups where it is necessary. With more operations, Architect loses some value.

@FightingWalloon I am definitely playing the never advance game and there are enough cards to make it feasible. Because you can establish a powerful remote very quickly, most runners are hesitant to run because they don't have their rig yet.

@tvaduva In matchups where you should rush, caprice is not a necessity. In slower games, you will probably find that one caprice. I don't think two are necessary - at least not at the expense of the cards you suggested cutting. Architect may be slightly less valuable, but it's still amazing. NAPD has won me games I would have lost.
