Nobody use Code Gates in Startup

Why worry about Code Gate ices? They won't hurt you much in startup, so lets forget they even exist, haha!

Mulligan plan : At least one card that will give you credits.

Game plan : Sabotage as much as possible and drill centrals.

With Quetzal: Free Spirit and Num, with the help of Poison Vial, you can break any barrier or sentry very cheaply. On top of it, you have Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga to help you pass ices, along with Botulus. No need for Endurance here (yes, it is absolutely better to put the influence on Inside Job). We are a free spirit and we need no console.

I went for Prepaid VoicePAD instead of Ghosttongue because I did not want to have Core Damage, since I was going to get it with Finality.

Because we can pass ices for very cheap, it is possible to put a lot of pressure on the corp. There are 16 barriers in Startup and only Envelopment is problematic (it need 2 counters from Poison Vial), with Pharos the other one that need help from Poison Vial.

If you are wondering, yes, I tried this deck with Egret. But without Gachapon to get it clicklessly, it was very awkward to use.

There are 16 Code Gate ices in Startup, none of them will end the game for you but one will really hurt you : Funhouse, Mestnichestvo, Pop-up Window, Tollbooth, Enigma, Magnet, Pulse, Ravana 1.0, Diviner, Hafrún, Lotus Field, Vampyronassa, Anvil, Hortum.

This is a jank deck, which truly belong in the cult of jank (let's try to make this expression a meme) haha! It is viable and fun, enjoy!
