A Good Wall Makes Good Neighbors

I like to build theme decks. Most of the time my theme decks suck, but I still think it's fun, and this deck has won a few times. Can you guess the theme of this deck?

The Concept: Put up the biggest defensive barriers you possibly can, and score your agendas.

You may notice that economy is a bit light in this deck, so you have to rely on those agendas and keeping your PAD Campaigns alive. Oversight AI is there to help reduce the cost of your big ICE, but it's a double edged sword when you encounter rich Runners. Paywall Implementation fits the theme, and it's fun to capitalize on runs. Dedication Ceremony strengthens certain ICE: Fire Wall, Ice Wall, and Hadrian's Wall; while Superior Cyberwalls strengthens all of the barrier ICE.

Elizabeth Mills is present to remove bad publicity you start with, and the one you may gain if you rez Checkpoint. Isabel McGuire is present to bounce Elizabeth Mills back so can remove more bad publicity, or to bounce back infected ICE.

You can actually win without Oversight AI and Isabel McGuire and at 45 cards without these cards, if the runner lets you accumulate too many s. Rez ICE wisely.

Why so few targets for Dedication Ceremony? Seems like you could get a lot more mileage out of the 3x slots for Dedication Ceremony if you had 2x more Fire Walls. I would give up Paper Wall and maybe Wall of Static for 2x more Fire Walls.

@RaiddinnYou're right, there aren't too many targets for Dedication Ceremony. Originally, I had 3x GRNDL Refinerys, but switched them for PAD Campaigns when the refineries kept getting trashed too quickly. I also cut several copies of certain ICE, but left the number of DC unchanged - this is why there are so few targets for DC.

You could switch out Paper Wall and Wall of Static for more Fire Walls, and that could be good. Conversely, you could swap out Dedication Ceremony for something else.

Swapping out Corporate War for Geothermal Fracking might be a better choice, especially with Elizabeth Mills in play, removing bad pub. Maybe 3x Corporate Sales Team and 1x Geothermal Fracking. Could also change our Oversight AI for more asset economy.
