Universally Blue Explosions v2

frost-duty 2785

Setting up Data Raven into Universal Connectivity Fee is far easier in blue sun than any other deck, and you already have the meat (from both scorched and punitive, to make sure you are always ready).

As soon as they hit the combo they generally die immediately, or at the very least open a scoring window.

Deck has very high kill potential very quickly due to lots of meat and only 3 pointers. Can often sit a 3 pointer behind a curtain wall and either score or kill if they pay all their money to get through. Punitive and scorched allows for odd kills (such as a SEA Source, punitive, scorch combo).

Slight changes from previous deck: removed melange since I wasn't using it, replaced with Crisium grid - I think as a 1 of this card can do a lot of work, stick it on HQ vs crims and R&D vs shapers. 5 to trash vs a scorched deck is painful, and indexing/keyhole etc can be hit hard by this.

Dropped one Universal Connectivity Fee for a 3rd Jackson Howard... bit of a no-brainer really.

Have you thought about mid-seasons in this deck? Blue sun can get the money to hit them hard with tags, which until they're cleared (could be 10+ credits and multiple turns -- time to find the scorched), stop them from running the UCF server . The downside being that it's only after they steal a hefty, 7 pt agenda -- so in that case it would be something -3 cleaners, +3 atlas, +1 NAPD, -2 sea, +1 mid-seasons. Just a thought.

I agree with your assessment in that you would need to change the agenda structure, and this is my biggest issue with that approach, as it makes the Punitive Counterstrike far less effective. Also, Midseason Replacements is extra influence, so I would have to probably lose a data raven.

Additionally, I don't know what I would then remove.

I could see a different deck being built around this approach, but it wouldnt be the same thing!
