So how are you finding the 3x Hollywood Renovation? Are they defensible what with Faust and D4v1d flying around, and Noise trashing stuff? No Jacksons makes this a hard sell for me... Are you Ashing archives? How do you draw when you have a crap hand?

Hi @Calcifer437, i'm trying various iterations of glacier in Blue Sun to see if anything other than a pure fast-advance deck can actually battle the crazy Anarch engine that's everywhere lately.

This version i plan to test tonight, but I certainly have pulled a few wins with similar lists against Noise when I managed to get an early Atlas token. The 5-point score with Hollywood Renovation and Dedication Ceremony can surprise a lot of runners when they are ahead on points and they decide to play it safe and just start the Virus milling.

Ash 2X3ZB9CY I figure is a good solution to the Anarch suite, as they can typically get anywhere once a turn, but (a) they tend not to hoard a lot of cash (at least not as much as Blue Sun can) and (b) going through all this ICE twice a turn, hopefully, is more than the runner can manage.

I will admit that no Jackson is probably a mistake, but Ash and Interns both help in the Noise matchup against the milling, and ideally the Atlas token helps with the draw you need. Might have to make room for a 2nd copy of the Interns but I'll have to test and see what is the best cut for that one.

Thanks for the input!

One more thing here: how often are you poor enough that beanstalk is better than restructure or hedge fund? I feel like one or two of the nine econ-op slots (twelve with OAI, haha) might be the place to cut in this setup, due to all the extra economic possibilities of GRNDL, OakRen, and weirdly Dedication Ceremony if you look at it as 1 cred for "6 clicks". Also, forgot to note that I like the deck :D

Thanks for the like! I'm enjoying it quite a bit myself :) Yeah i think an econ card might be the place to cut for a 2nd interns. It might actually be better to go with -1 Restructure over Beanstalk, odd as that sounds, but it's pretty sweet to be able to do a first turn of Install 2 ICE and Beanstalk / Hedge, then be able to rez Assassin AND Ice Wall, or Hive AND Caduceus.
