Sarmatian 180

My first attempt at posting here. I would love feedback, but be kind.

I built this mainly to try to rush past sifr, and not have all my ice die right away. I'm not sure if the Quicksand is always worth it. I'm thinking of changing it to Wall of Static.

So I've found playing NEXT Design, 21 ICE to be the magic number. I don't know why, but it just seems like it is. I would recommend Rainbow x3. It's a 3 cost, 4 str etr that works beautifully early game.

I'm also wondering about Bryan Stinson as an include and Lab Dog. Lab Dog might seem nice, but the runner picks the Hardware, so remember that. As for Bryan, I'm guessing hoping for early game econ/late game biotics or something? Either way, I think something like Blacklist might be a little better if you're trying to stop the Sifr hype. Just some suggestions I see. Otherwise, looks like an interesting deck

@CreativeChaos88thanks for the feedback. I like the Rainbow suggestion. I've noticed that Shattered Remains isn't doing much other making deep digs better. I think I'll start with swapping those out for two bows, which takes me to 20 ice. I love the idea of using it as cutlery defense, especially for Lotus Field.

As far as Lab Dog goes, most of the sifr decks I've seen run clone chips and the console itself. If this eats a clone chip, that's one less Parasite. It has a small potential to catch a criminal's Desperado on a face check also. Bringing it back with Friends in High Places can slow down a runner and buy me time while they go get Faust or Arman. The main reason I want to try it out is because I think very few people will account for it. Worst case, I cut it and put in the 3rd rainbow.

Bryan Stinson is here for the theme as well as the reasons you guessed. I am a big how I met your mother fan. Besides, he is absolutely bonkers when he works. I am sure he will be much better in a green or yellow build though.

Note that if you have a rezzed Rainbow, Mother Goddess is effectively a more expensive Rainbow.

@RvdH83Definitely. I usually recommend installing Rainbows early, and not being afraid to overwrite late game.
