I like Big Ice!

HepatitvsJ 244

I've been out of the local scene for a while so I'm going with a staple I used to run. I'm trying a new concept of running 59 cards. I have the same amount of agendas I would in a 49 card deck but the extra ten cards makes it harder to dig for the runner. (20% of deck is agenda vs 25% in 49) I advance behind big ice (oversight AI/BER) using zed, ice wall, and other cheap ice for inside job protection. I'm still vulnerable to shutdown but breaking/killing the ice should be very difficult/expensive. I have the ability to FA with biotic labor and haas arcology. Haas arcology also gives me the ability to bluff an agenda forcing the player to spend money running or giving me the extra clicks. Zed is underated IMO (I haven't seen him played but I understand why in a 49 card deck) as his ability is strong for 2 rez cost. The combo isn't reliable on paper but as I play test I'll know whether it's worth it. A Zed/Ichi 1.0 or Viktor 2.0 could be a strong surprise for runners. Even with a faerie out, It just makes ZED become a "trash faerie" ice. I'm OK with that. Profiteering makes the runner fear a hard rez on Janus as Jackson Howard lets me dig through the deck and Melange does its thing behind a secure remote forcing the runner to burn money getting to it. As always, constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks.
