Big Loot

Big Ice variation on Lootboxes with lots of high str sentries to punish careless runs and force runners to pay for priviliage of seeing cards.

In todays meta were turbine trashes almost every ice and abundance in runners economy it's not an easy task. A big chunk of big ice have been either rotated out or flatly banned, due to runners not positive experience, leaves a very small handful of with no less than 3 subroutines that can actually stand runners onslaught for a time. Ice above str 5 that is actually useful is hard to come by and that's what needed against Turbine+Carmen (looking at you Valentao, Hagen, Sync BRE).

The clear favorite winner among those is Anansi which can flatten over confident Bankhar runners turn 2/3, Mlinzi which can seriously damage runners future prospects and NEXT Diamond which slows down runners for the rest of game. A hidden gem in this configuration is Konjin which is Bankhar and Boomerang proof and can surprise runners like Tao who like to get dangerous ice out of their way.

Path to victory is quite simple jam in agenda behind 2-3 big ice secure it with Anoetic Void and try to withstand 1-2 runs while keeping your econ high enough to facilitate rezzing of those deadly tools. In order to be profitable in this protracted engagement you need quick burst of cash and nothing beats Celebrity Gift in cash injection - 2 clicks for 7 credits. On top of that Standard Procedure for 4-6 creds, NGO and my favorite of the set Predictive Planogram as well as Rashida.

Subliminal Messeging while not as reliable is a fantastic defence against sabotage as well as helping ease the cost of Anoetic Void.

Not convinced about Magnet as it's usefulness is on average questionable and could make room for another Tat-Bola to further increase economy engine. middle to late game they simply become food for Anoetic anyway.

Try to bait runners into early runs on remote servers with Anansi, even losing 3 pointer due to Inside Job is nicely compensated with 3 net dmg and can sometimes land you some nasty blows to runners tempo.
