Interesting deck idea I had, utilizing the crazy, crazy combo of fast track and Government Takeover. Likely, there is a bit too much variance in the deck for it to be very competitive, but it still is fun as heck to play and can be quite devastating if set up.

The basic idea is to ice up centrals, start building your remote. Get the blue sun money train going with operation econ, oversight, or adonis. Once you can draw a punitive, have a decent money lead, and have some strong ice on your remote, it's time to fast track that takeover and go for the win. If the runner blows all their tricks to get in, hopefully they are taxed enough that you can scoop up some ice and punitive for the flatline. However, if they can't find the answer to all of your ice, the clock is ticking down to your win.

Now, if the runner gets an early agenda, or you can't guarantee your remote is safe, then you still have the option to score out traditional blue sun style.

Some thoughts on specific cards:

I like sweeps in weyland for the burst it provides, and often I find runners drawing up to max against weyland fearing scorch combos. More adonis campaigns would be more reliable mid game econ, but I like the early game econ that sweeps provides.

Wormhole is a real monster in blue sun. A str 7 code gate with an ETR, trash program, or lose a click sub is great, even for 9 credits. Now, advance 3 times and its free. With Blue sun, that means you can make a profit if needed by scooping the ice up. It is not efficient econ, but it can be the econ you need in a tight situation.

Ash is amazing in blue sun glacier, even more so with the crazy idea of a Government takeover deck. It makes a taxing blue sun server even more crazy, and can be used to bait out the runner's tricks before dropping an agenda into a remote.

Fast track is the base of the deck. Provides the opportunity to seize a scoring window with Takeover, but also can be used to find other agendas if you choose to score out normally.

Atlas - an amazing card as always. But one of these scored early can give you so many options. Finding punitives, your GT, hostiles, more atlases if you have another window, etc.

Neat deck but are the sweeps week worth the influence? It seems that Beanstalks might be close in money and could go with 2 of those an archived memories to help with double-punitive on a 3-ptr.
