Gated Garden

Yes, another Nisei "Garden" deck!

Encrypted Portals - This is the current "theme" of the deck, since it allows for both early pressure as well as a good turnout end-game. Early game it bumps your code gates from there on and late game it just gives a good money swing when least expected (plus a point of course). Not many people expect a 3-advancement agenda in a deck like this, so it works quite well, especially with the asset spam too.

Asset Spam - Economy runs well, even against Whizzard. Whizzard can't really keep up for long enough before you are able to rez everything and tax them on both centrals and economy assets. Time AND money is something they can't have at the same time. At the same time, a well educated Whizzard will be able to spend his/her turns wisely and get past it in the long run, so be careful. A well rezzed Sundew behind a decent piece of ICE though will provide a good support for the rest of the game.

x2 Shock! - Because having some Archives protection allows for dropping TFPs and playing dem Psi Games now and then. Protecting Archives is also important though, because some don't care about the net damage. Still taxing though. Makes people think you play more damage too.

x2 Crisium Grid - Best card imho in the game at the moment. Cancels out so much stuff.

x3 Caprice - Caprice never stops being a good upgrade, even with Rumor Mill. You might lose an agenda, but they'll have to pay for it. You can count on them thinking they can counter Caprice and have a Tollbooth plus some other stuff on the remote for when they come for it. Good for early scoring too.

Agenda Suite - Just works out like it always has. The good old RP suite is hard to beat, especially in Nisei where the TFPs have to be played again and again.

Hyoubu - It's 4 to trash and it gives you a huge advantage in certain occasions. Just like the Nisei ability, it is important to have in critical situations.

x1 Cyberdex - It was x2, but I am not sure about it. I switch it out from time to time, going from 1 to 2 and back.

x2 Enhanced Login Protocol - Be RP, without being RP. (deep)

ICE Suite - Komainu, because it's always good. Lotus Field, because it's hard ETR and does not die (unless it gets spooned). Couple DNA Trackers because you have the money for it. The rest is all super cheap. So the thing is, if you feel you do not have enough money with this deck, then you just remove a DNA Tracker/Komainu/Lotus Field and you add more Crick.

Extra Influence - Haven't decided what to do with it. Definitely not another Jackson. Could be another Crisium, or a TMI since, if rezzed at the right time can have a very big effect and provide good tax.

Opinions and comments always welcome!
