This has been doing well in testing so I thought I would post here for feedback so that it may improve. It's got a lot going for it.
It's a 54 card deck with 7 agendas. 5 if you see that it doesn't matter if the 2 Chronos Project are stolen. 4 (ish) When you've managed to get Shannon Claire to slip the Government Takeover to the bottom of your over-sized RnD.
Scoring the agendas is assisted by Old Hollywood Grid and Caprice Nisei. 2 Interns to retrieve if necessary. Old Hollywood Grid works amazingly well in this glacier-style deck. Most of the time, the runner wont be able to get into your scoring remote twice.
All the Ice can be advanced. 16 ice is plenty considering the agenda density. This identity has been rightly criticised for being slow in the past and yes, this deck can sometimes be slow too but with Executive Boot Camp and Constellation Protocol on the table the space ice can be ready to rez very quickly. Shipment from Kaguya helps get them rezzing for free also. Rezzing this ice for free is amazing when you compare how much the runner is paying to break it.
Free ice, for the most part, allows this deck to operate without many credits. However there is a need for money to score and rez the upgrades. This is where Commercialization and Capital Investors come in.
The upgrades are not the only route to victory. Blacklist, Power Shutdown and Chronos Project all allow you to manufacture ways of denying the runner access to your servers. These 3 cards really make the deck sing. Giving you an edge on PPVP Kate as well as Anarchs using Faust.
The deck is a breath of fresh air for me. I've always enjoyed playing a Glacier-style Corp and this has proven to be formidable against a lot of the current runner archetypes. It has a few neat tricks up its sleeve and the 54 cards really allow you some room for creativity whilst your playing. It's great fun to use cards which haven't really seen much play and find that they actually can combine well to win you some games.

Depending on how hard you're leaning on the Old Hollywood Grid, I might consider throwing in either Snatch and Grab or Contract Killer to take down Film Critic (and Kati Jones, frankly, which will allow runners to eventually break into any glacier, no matter how big). I would echo |

How do you beat runners that just attack your remotes? You can't fast advance and I see no reason why the runner can't just sit back and get massive amounts of cash while waiting for you to put down an agenda. Even with Old Hollywood Grid and Caprice Nisei in a server (two untutorable cards in a 54 card deck), you'll be lucky to score a single 3/5. The runner will just run in after you score and kill the upgrades, then do it again after you Interns them back.
I think I'd get rid of all 3 Constellation Protocols and the Power Shutdowns for 5 more pieces of ICE. Assassin is mean, as is Hive in decks like these. Caduceus is a big tax on Faust and Overmind. Bad pub isn't a crisis for you, so Grim might be nice.
