My current take on Tennin.

A lot of Tennin decks I've seen are hell-bent on keeping the runner from making successful runs, and that seems silly to me. Tennin's greatest strength, in my opinion, is that it puts a lot of pressure on the runner to make those successful runs. The best way to capitalize on that is to tax them. The more effort the runner puts into hitting your servers, the less they can focus on developing their rig. Let them in, but make them pay. They'll need turns to refuel, and that's when you'll get your Tennin tokens. Ice everything. Shock in archives is useless when the runner plops down Security Testing, so we've taken those out for more econ.

Ice Wall. Let it get big. Let it get silly. Odds are, they only have one Femme, and you have three ice walls, so even if they make one wall cheap to break, they can't do it for all of them. Advance it. Seriously. This thing is going to be sticking around for a while. It basically can't be parasited. It can't be Atman'd. If you treat it right, it can't even be knight'd reliably. Beast.

Architect. Ice destruction is brutal for this deck. Architect is a really nice bit of ice recursion for you, and if they just so happen to be running last click, pull out a Braintrust and score it next turn.

Lag Time. Goddamn is this thing good with Lotus Field. So many decks rely on a 4str Atman to break Lotus Field, so Lag Time turns it into a brutally impenetrable wall. Also just really good to increase the tax your servers are going to cause.

Medical Research Fundraiser. I know, you don't like to give the runner money. Listen, you'll be taking it away. When all your econ has to come from operations, your choices become limited. Anyway, this card is surprisingly good. It bounces you back from 3 creds more easily than Celebrity Gift, given that it eats only the 1 click.

The biggest decision that keeps me up at night is upgrades. Do I want Caprice? Do I want WotW? I kinda think I want neither, as they trash easily from R&D and I'd rather have extra ice.

Serious question - how much use do you get out of Reclamation Order - and have you considered Enhanced Login Protocol?

@afishisborn I like the idea but i don't really see much here for tax though. Architect & Pup is about it also Medical Research Fundraiser seems somewhat counter productive to your aim.

I think their should be Komainu / Tsurugi / Tollbooth 's if your wanting some real tax in their sure they cost abit to rez but they are all well worth the cost.

I look at all the ETR ice and it looks more like your trying to stop the runner than tax them.

@Pinkwarrior, @Softman25, @afishisborn Here's a video of this deck in action.

@CJFM Looks like it's had some good changes to the deck list from the video, good one's mind. Not sure about Cerebral Static my self but it seems like a personal choice.

Sorry, I haven't been on my NRDB for a while. Took out Cerebral Static for Lag Time. Lag Time makes my Lotus Fields nigh impenetrable against Atman, and makes the credit cost of running so much more unpleasant. I find it much more useful than Static.

Komainu and Tsurugi, I've found, die way too easily to parasite. I can keep datasucker tokens low, so having ice that can live a few turns threw a parasite is immensely valuable, and the 2 former just cost me too much. Economy is rough when you rely entirely on operational econ.

Architect is more of a parasite counter than a straight tax. I've found it incredibly valuable when it works, and a fine tax when it doesn't.

Finally, Medical Research Fundraiser has been amazing. I can easily afford to let a few runs in, and having enough cash around to rez my ice and score out agendas is fantastic. Being able to restructure from 3 credits feels good, every time.
