NEXT Level v2.0.5

Icedman 46

The latest iteration of my NEXT Design deck. The changes between this version and my NEXT Level 2.0 are indicative of the "tour circuit" I took this deck to (3 Store Champs, Chronos stop and OCTGN BGG Tourney 3[EU]), and reflects the changes to the card pool over that time.

The combination of Asset and Operation economy ensures that I should not be able to have my econ completely destroyed by my opponent (barring extreme Anarch shenanigans). I've got a long way to go before I can be convinced to leave Sweeps Week behind :-)

The ICE composition looks a bit schizophrenic, however thus far it has served me quite well. The Destroyers help reset the board state, turning my gear-checks back on in the mid-late game. Vipers are beautiful to see opening hand/early for HQ protection, particularly if I don't have an Agenda in my initial 5 cards.

Agenda spread is to help the econ situation out as well; Virtuvius are there to be overscored if possible to pull back problematic ABTs. Pet Project can also help here, although it is primarily Archer fodder and/or the 4th Adonis.

The deck is likely to see a large overhaul with the release of Upstalk, as the desire to get 3 NEXT Silvers and at least 2 Mother Goddess' (to provide a 7th possible NEXT ICE), as well as a re-examination of some other compositions will cause some disruption.
