Rose Garden

obscurica 1313

Fertilizing a rose garden with the blood of the unwary is the least of it. Anybody can bury a hapless fish beneath the roots, encouraging them to flourish.

To get a truly stout wall of thorns going, you'll need specialists. The sort of green thumbs that can breathe life even unto the reddest soil.

Then, and only then, you'll be able to enjoy the peace of your garden in solitude.


BoN Glacier.

Crank open a window of opportunity to use Red Planet Couriers on GRNDL Refinery while Sandburg is active to generate a massive cash reservoir, with Bryan Stinson cycling through Hedge Funds and IPOs as well.

A turn-one Reversed Accounts can set the runner dangerously far behind as you set up, or you can slap a Dedication Ceremony on it late-game to drain even the richest ones dry. Weyland Consortium: Builder of Nations's inherent tax also slows them down, forcing them to play with full hands and wariness for Woodcutter, or they bleed to death against your thorns.

Either way, it's slow and cautious goings for the runner. Which is exactly how you want it.

Sweet deck! I'm definitely going to try this out myself. Been playing around with BoN for the last few weeks, but haven't played around with Red Planet Couriers yet.

Isn't Fire Wall more secure to score behind? It starts out a lot more taxing than those Ice Walls. Though, I think I'll yours for a spin and see just how it compares to my iteration.

Thanks for sharing! =)

@HyenaMars Fire Wall's more secure up-front, but Ice Wall's cheaper cost-efficiency makes it a good gearcheck at any stage of the game -- especially if Anson's been left alone for a while. It's either one credit to force them to dig up a fracter, or one credit and Anson loading it with a dozen tokens to force them to dig deep for cash. Either way, less likely to interrupt your econ than Firewall's five.
