Corporate Urchin: Finals At Tennin 1.0

Welcome to Tennin Institute, where all fun things happen and progress is always expected!

~~~News this week~~~

Final exams are just around the corner (a weird institute indeed), and teachers and students alike are running around (or rather sleeping at the library) preparing for them. Staff like Ms. Tori Hanzo and, Mr. Jackson Howard and the guys from Zaibatsu Loyalty are working very hard to get the maximum efficiency out of our running students. The attendance of several celebrities and the currently existing hedge funds have incremented the influx of money to the school, but with that comes a great responsibility of quality.

Because of this, our dear Chairman Hiro, has taken the liberty to make a pre-finals speech, declaring that the school, at the golden age it is, it must doubly ensure the quality of their education, but most importantly that of their exams. Following that statement he expressed that "as a result [of harder exams] they will be extra hard than previous years, but do not let this discourage our students, for vacations are also around the corner."

So that's it students! Do not let it get to your head, or your brain might get damaged! But be sure to eat properly too, or your health might be hurt too! Keep strong, and though probabilities say that only 1 out of 4 students will make it through, be sure to persevere the following year. After leaving the clinic, you will surely make it through!

Jokes aside, I love this deck.

I've modified the previous archetype to my preference, thus making it my own updated version, and working a lot better, methinks.

As you may know, it is meant to kill (through meat or net/brain damage or a combination of both/the-three) the runner instead of scoring agendas other than House of Knives. Though not very apparent, for the advanced player it's fairly easy to make all sort of traps for the runner to fall into, and the good part is that you only need the runner to fall once to get 1 brain damage so that you can activate Chairman Hiro (or 3 brain damage without it) and have a sure victory with your 3 neural EMPs (disregarding any sort of mistake made by the runner). Would the runner happen to be very careful, there is still your advansable sentries, and Cerebral Cast, which help the purpose of Scorched Earth. Because of all that, this deck is highly mortal.

One important change I made was taking Ice Walls out and replacing almost all of them for shadow, reason being the release of Quetzal, which completely ruins the game for Ice Walls. In their place I've introduced Sensei and other damage-dealing anti-yog (and some even anti-parasite) ice, which were lacking from the previous version.

The only thing this deck is really vulnerable to (and doesn't even try to avoid it) is milling done by noise or keyhole, so watch out for it with the help of jackie. Another thing it is vulnerable to is second or later plays, its most important element being surprise; from the identity being Tennin the runner will suspect the existence of Trick of Light in this deck, giving a different impression. Thus, after the first play, the real plan is pretty much already known and more easily fought. Cautious players are great prey to this deck, however smart and lucky naive newbies might have a chance at it.

I've been debating over whether to increase the number of cards or not.

I am still looking for feedback and suggestions, so make sure to write me a love letter with your thoughts!
