Aww, I saw the title and thought it would be mandatory upgrades jank. Looks good though.

I have bouncing into and out of the NEXT suite of ice for my HB deck. What always pushes me away from it is a rough game against an anarch who parasite recures to kill the Silver and then Yog's past all the Bronze fairly easily invalidating 3rd of ice suite. Have you had many of these matchups? If so, how do you handle -- rush out agendas before the parasite engine gets going? shrug and think my ice is about as cheap as the parasite ... ? or ...? leverage a protect blacklist to make it painful to get parasites recurring again?

I met no Yog - having IQ may help if you have problems against it. You can also spend some inf on Lotus Field, but this build is enough to lock the centrals so that getting Datasucker token is very hard.

Blacklist is certainly good against Parasite, in one game I managed to stop recurring for a while, which gave me scoring window. Cyberdex also helps. Architects are great here, as they're nonparasitable. Also remember to recur ices with Jackson.

I have to say having many good Parasite targets isn't that bad - Parasites are not infinite and the runner has to make some hard choices (parasiting that Turing on a remote or another piece of NEXT ice?)
