Jinteki: Death and Taxes

I'm not sure if you have the econ you need to rez all of that really expensive ice. 2-4 advances on a Junebug isn't a guaranteed flatline and unless you can make the money off Shell Corporation quickly they'll trash it. Singularity is also a killer against this strategy, and even though it costs the runner a lot of resources to play it, you'll be out of luck for strong economy. No low-cost ice will also mean your centrals will be vulnerable in the early game, opening up Account Siphon, Indexing, multi-access, and various Anarch terror. Denial decks will also have an easy time putting this deck in headlock.

One thing I can suggest is replacing Neural Katana with Cortex Lock. Most people will have a killer installed before facechecking against Jinteki, many of which trivializes your Neural Katana (specifically Mimic). Cortex Lock is cheaper and fits into the role of early game ice which you sorely need.

This deck is still yet to be playtested. Once that happens I'll try a few games with Neural Katana, and a few with Cortes Lock but I think you have a really good point with that swap. The deck is on the slower side with the low econ, that's in part because my local meta run a lot of passive decks. But thank you for the feedback and I'll edit the deck once I can see how it all works.

I agree with @rumirumirumirumi here. I like the deck idea, but it needs some economy pieces to support it. Also Cortex Lock is a fantastic piece of ice early game. Also, while things like Switchblade and Torch have "solved" taxing Code Gate and Sentry taxes, Corroder remains the most popular fracter, so if you want bang for your buck, I'd throw in some Eli 1.0s.

Other than that, if you make this work, I see this being viable.
