The Foundry: Icy HQ

KayJay2011 1

This deck looks to maximize the value of NEXT and Grail ICE. With the Foundry identity, you are also able to filter out R&D a little bit and get better draws (although this means protecting R&D is that much more important).

The bread and butter of this deck is the identity itself. When Galahad, for example, becomes rezzed, the Foundry allows you to then find a second copy of Galahad and you can then include the second copy in the Grail subroutines if you wish.

The deck gets really fun with the inclusion of The Twins. It is possible to have a runner encounter a piece of Grail ICE, reveal two Merlins, force them to encounter that same ICE again, and reveal the same two Merlins a second time for a potential 8 net damage.

Because you'll be filling your hand up with ICE, cards like Jackson Howard, Project Vitruvius, and Hades Fragment help with putting discarded extra ICE back into R&D to be fetched up again with The Foundry. A singleton Executive Boot Camp allows you to rez ICE on your turn to help gather more NEXT and Grail ICE and make your Glacier that much more powerful.

This deck struggles a little bit with economy, but because the majority of ICE you'll be rezzing is very cheap, it typically is not a problem.
