#Burly Balder V2
Burly Balder is a slow rush. It makes two large decoys before going into
rush mode. In rush mode it has a loop that only uses 4
steps each zero cell and when a non zero cell it has a case analysis for
[-18,18] before blindly reducing with 107 before clearing with [-]. He
clears an unchanged flag in 201 steps, 73 more than a uncertain -*128
and 55 less than a naive [-] clear. When a cell is cleared he continues
leaving a trail of -2 decoys. He has a special case only for index
9 to save some steps for size 10 games and it leaves the cell with a 1 decoy.

Trivia: Balder is a nordic god and son of Odin. He is known mostly for the story of his death: He was scared for his safety so the other gods tried to predict and shield against every threat. He was eventually killed by Loki since while they protected him against swords and arrows they forgot to protect him against Mistletoe.
