We finally have a reason to play Weyland Consortium: Because We Built It!

SPACE ICE.

Let's review all the reasons why this deck is competitive:

1) Advancing space ice means that you essentially gain 3 credits for one click; a fantastic econ engine that can't be slowed down by econ denial.

2) Space ice are resistant to Emergency Shutdown and Crescentus (because the advancement tokens stay on the card when they are derezzed) and to Parasite (by being really high strength).

3) Account siphon is minimized by keeping your credits at 3 and still being able to rez big ice or score off of Trick of Light.

4) Shipment from Kaguya and Shipment from SanSan are both 6 credit cards on space ice and moving tokens with Constellation Protocol is like a clickless 3 credits per turn. Whoa.

5) Can easily score out of hand with Trick of Light or from a scoring remote with beefy ice.

6) This deck plays REALLY slowly, building up a costly fortress. While this seems like a bad thing in a meta where everyone is obsessed with scoring as fast as possible, it is actually a strength. You don't need to draw a bunch of cards to sustain your economy or layer up ice and as long as you can lock down R&D, you control how fast agendas come into play. If you're only drawing 1 or MAYBE 2 cards each turn, you give yourself plenty of time before the corp even has the ability to score 7 points. In the meantime, you watch the Runner (whose used to trying to make big scoring plays early in the game) burn themselves out in the first 10 turns. Burst/event-based econ will fall apart after turn 15 and you'll just be finishing icing up your centrals and scoring remote with 2-3 ice. Perfect time to score back to back agendas (or slip in an Aggressive Secretary to ruin their day)
