A Cold Day in Eden (Winter Garden 1.3)

This is a post-Lunar version of my previous RP deck. The core concept in the original was that none of the ice technically needed to be broken. For the most part, I kept that idea. I like Architect in this deck to recur Sundews and ice I didn't want to keep in HQ.

Lotus Field is a new addition also. It wasn't in the original deck because in order for the runner to pass it, it has to be broken. (A case could be made for Himitsu-Bako, as well as Tsurugi, but I could pay to remove the ETR for you.)

I have removed NAPD Contract from the deck, in favor of 2 more The Future Perfect. I feel there's enough taxing in the deck for me to play without it.

Revision 1 (Focus shifting):

-3 Nisei MK II, -1 Pup, -1 Architect, +3 NAPD Contract, +1 Komainu, +1 RSVP

As nice as Nisei MK II is to have to protect against multi-access runs, I don't actually get to use the tokens as often as I'd like.

Also, 3x Architect was a bit much. It's nice to have early on to build servers quickly, but I can do as well with two. I turned the third into an RSVP. Also let one of the Pups grow into a full-sized Komainu.

Revision 2 (A bit of column A, a bit of column B):

-1 NAPD Contract, -1 Fetal AI, -1 The Future Perfect, +3 Nisei MK II

Revision 3 (A radical departure from the ordinary):

-1 Komainu, -1 RSVP, -1 Mamba -2 Pup, -3 Mental Health Clinic, +2 Chum, +2 Errand Boy, +2 Hostile Infrastructure, +2 Shell Corporation

how do you defend your fat and cashy shell corporation without a game changing trap when the runner accesses? caprise might be not enough. what do you think?

It's currently untested at the moment. Likely, this would go into my scoring server. I briefly considered Project Junebug as a one of before I put in Shell Corporation, so I may go that route.

Unfortunately, with the holidays coming up, it's unlikely I can test the deck as is for a while.

i played games with shell corp and its not reliable without traps and even with traps its not really reliable. maybe with junebug and 4 times advanced. my buddy played Diesel forst click, ran, and just ate the net damage.

the did this all the time. fucker.

The only reason I'm even trying it is because of a personal challenge to see if it's viable. I could just put in Melange Mining Corp. instead. I'm just tired of the same builds over and over again.
