Was 2-1 in Swiss, but lost games against Adam and Valencia in Top 4 to end my championship chances.

So, I have a question. Why would you run 7 non bioroids out of your 17 ICE package, in a AoT deck? I mean it seems illogical to me to run anything but pretty much all Bioroids so that you can make the most of your Identity. Plus there are so many good bioroids. I'm just curious about the thought process.

The short answer is Jinja City Grid.

A bit of a correction, this deck has 18 ice, 11 of which are bioroid, plus 3 Ash. With Jinja you want more ice than normal 13-16 range, so you have to find the slots somewhere. Let's look at the non-bioroid ice:

  • 2x Seidr - best ice in a Jinja deck until those pesky resource breakers became popular.
  • 3x Miraju - save deck slots for agenda flood mitigation in the form of ice.
  • 2x Architect - probably the best Sentry in HB, even without a discount. I guess you can replace them with Ichi's or something and see if it does better.

In practice, this is more of a 15 ice deck with 4 non-bioroid ice, since Miraju take a partial Jackson/Preemptive/Whampoa/Special Report role.
