So here's the Corp Deck I piloted to make Top 8 at the 2014 Australian Nationals. This went 6-1 in Swiss Rounds.

It's similar to Mediohxcore's Jinteki RP deck that won him the Philly Regionals, but with changes to accommodate my play style.

It runs 9 pieces of asset drip economy along with Interns to recur anything back. This decks plays slow, but transitions into one of the heaviest control style Corp decks I've built. I've spent months testing and deliberating over choice of ICE to find the right balance between having enough early game ICE to protect my assets whilst offering enough late game ICE to build punishingly taxing centrals and an almost impenetrable scoring remote.

I don't like relying on burst economy like Hedge Fund and Celebrity Gift as I think it doesn't provide enough consistency to the control style I like to play if I don't draw into them early enough. Instead, I chose to focus on early game ICE selection that I could rez without making me broke, and keep the runner out long enough for my asset econ to come online.

The key to this deck is to protect Sundews with some cheap ETR ICE (Himitsu Bako, Quandry, Viper and Eli) and secure all 3 centrals with ICE as quickly as possible without making yourself broke by doing it. Pups, Vipers & Yagura are cheap and excellent for this. Wall of Thorns is also a nice surprise and second only to Tollbooth in terms of taxation. The faster centrals get shored up, the harder it will be for the runner to trash asset econ.

Once asset econ comes online and your centrals are protected, the game is essentially yours. I've had multiple games where I came back from 0-5 or 0-6 down, locked the runner out and won the game by scoring consecutive agendas.
