Tax Farm

With Temujin and Parasifr running wild in the meta, is Glacier viable anymore? I think it still is, and this glacier Pālanā has been a pet project over the last month or so to enforce respect for ice. (Thanks to those who helped me test and refine this, you know who you are!)

The key play is not rush, it's tax. Most Pālanā decks I play, or see played, make a lot of money, and then spend it quickly on expensive Jinteki ice and psi-games. This is an economic tempo hit to both players, but with the MVP of the deck, (tax farmer Bryan Stinson,) if your expenditures bring the runner below 6 credits you can swing back into big money with Stinson and a few archived transactions.

Speaking of money - 9 economy operations (6 of which are transactions), 3 economy agendas, Pālanā's ID ability and Stinson.

Scarcity of Resources is an obvious fit to disrupt resource set-up; however, use these sparingly if you suspect Rumor Mill. Rumor Mill turns off Jackson, Stinson and Caprice, so until we get confirmation on the potential MWL spoilers you need to protect the game plan.

Parasite Protection - Magnet and Lotus Field.
AI Hate - Chiyashi and Swordsman.
Upgrade / ice recovery - Friends in High Places.

Notable exclusions:
The Future Perfect - Forcing the Runner to steal 4 agendas against a tax-deck is better for me than risking an actual 3-pointer while Film Critic exists.
NAPD Contract - Film Critic and The Archivist are real threats against this agenda.
Marcus Batty - Not enough targets to warrant space.
Tollbooth - Still experimenting, both Tollbooth + DNA Tracker are broken for 7 credits with Gordian Blade, but Tracker has more punishing subs.

I've included a quick reference breaking cost for some of the ice below, to help build the most taxing servers given the breaker suite. Enjoy!
