The tough code gate deck

photon 70

In the wake of more ICE destruction via cutlery events (Forked, Knifed, Spooned) I have come up with this deck - reminiscent of the Nasty Code Gate deck by Jim McCoy from 1996.

Using only code gates prevents the runner from playing Forked and Knifed. At the same time the effects for code gates make it more expensive and difficult for the runner to execute a possible destruction plan and it fortifies the servers substantially. Will-o'-the-Wisp against code gate or generic breakers is a welcome strike back to selectively disarm the runner. That in turn helps to keep the runner from always running and thereby enabling Tennin's ability. Trick of Light might do the rest.

A variant that comes to mind immediately is replacing Medical Breakthrough with Nisei Mk II to stop destructive effects early on.

Since it has won its first match against a Kit Deck with Torch operated by an experienced player, I am quite confident about its future.
