Praise the Sun! (Chicago Regionals Winner)

This is the Sol semi-glacier FA deck I took to the Chicago regional this year. Use cheap, taxing NBN ice and Scarcity to force people to pick and choose their runs. MCA AArons and EOI back things they steal, scoring 3 pts and giving the runner 2 tags is a good play. Ark Lockdown does work against shaper and anarch, who often dont expect it and get lazy with clots/conspiracy breakers/siphons. Scarcity is crazy good right now.

Tourney Summary: R1 swiss: Bye

R2-Joe-DLR Andy-Terrible hand, mulliganed a 4 agenda hand into a 3 agenda hand with sweeps and IPO. I money up and Joe proceeds to Temujin HQ and siphon twice, never accessing. I find Ice and a scarcity to shore up centrals after the early scare. DLR Andy has a really hard time dealing with Scarcity. Eventually Joe gets taxed out and I can score out before he gets set up to mill me.

R3-Lucas-Au Revoir CT- Slow start, I get out a GFI behind News hound and Tollbooth. I Ark Lockdown a discarded clot with clone chip on the table. Eventually get to 6 points as he sets up. I have the winning BN in hand, but Lucas smells it and starts his real runs, sniping my BN in hand. Eventually I top deck another BN for the win.

R4-Greg-SIFR/Reg Whizz-I get pretty set up, but Greg has a lot of datasucker counters. I go pretty broke defending a San San and scoring an astro and a beale. Greg deep medium digs me, I survive, losing only a GFI. Eventually I am able to score a GFI on the San San that is still rezzed after the medium dig.

R5-Alex-Good Stuff Andy-This game went terribly, I drew very few Ice and a lot of agendas. Alex finds 4 agendas between RnD and HQ and the game is over in 10 minutes.

Cut: Greg-Greg steals a bunch of agendas early(2 GFI and a BN I think) I end up stabilizing a bit and scoring a BN off a San San and exchanging it for a stolen GFI. I also manage to score an astro off the same San San. I get to score out another GFI behind Lotus Field, since Greg only had access to Yog at that point.

Grand Finals-Brian- Faust Hayley- Brian gets setup fast before I can get a scarcity out. I manage to set up a news hound remote with decent ice on centrals. He steals a couple beales pretty early and ends up deep data mining his last 4 points before I can really do much of anything.

Anyway, its a fun deck that has pretty reasonable matchups across the board. The ark lockdowns can easily be a biotic or hunter seekers depending on your meta. Another current is also sometimes good. GGs to all my opponents.
