I'm a big fan of Glacier decks that are taxing. I played a lot of the Deadcoats with a lot of success, until Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center took over with Fast advance deluxe. Looking at the current meta I was thinking how a good taxing deck could look like today. The result is this deck. So let me explain what I was thinking.

The two meta defining fractors are Cerberus "Lady" H1 and Corroder. Criminals are currently on the minority in tournaments, but even then these two breakers are seen in decks of all factions. Corroder lives from having enough money. Cerberus "Lady" H1 is cheaper but needs to be Scavenged several times.

Ashigaru alone can break Cerberus "Lady" H1. With a hand size of 7 or 9 cards, let the corp only pass it once, before it is used up. Using Clone Chip mid run to get another Cerberus "Lady" H1 to pass the next ice gets very expensive fast. No in credits but in clicks and cards. Corroder is not cheap either and passing Ashigaru after a Curtain Wall is almost impossible in most decks. Especially if after the run, Will-o'-the-Wisp let the Corroder go below the deck. Something that most decks makes it hard to get again. Either it is expensive with Self-modifiying Code, or it costs too much time to draw it again.

The rest play itself. All Barriers have a wide variety of strength, and a scored Superior Cyberwalls make it even harder for the breakers. But Atman is also not an option for the Runner and Eater will sooner or later give up.
