I think Sensei is the wrong choice here, since I don't think it combos very well with much of your other ice spread - the best Sensei trainees are towers of high-str cheap ice, whereas more of your ice seems to be going for the kill instead, and Medtech doesn't have as much time for glacier building as other corps do. Maybe Chum in its place? Could get you kills in front of Komainu, Kitsune, or Shinobi if the runner gets sloppy.

If you want to stick with Sensei, maybe find room for Lockdown or Cortex Lock? Cortex Lock works well regardless with Harmony Medtech: Biomedical Pioneer in my opinion, punishing the early game aggression that your ID encourages.

@beladee My idea with my ice suite is taxing centrals (Pups and PopUps) and saving the heavier ETR and net damage ice for protecting my remotes which will ideally be housing agendas and The Board. The Sensei was included to add in front of the taxing ice, so it will make it either more taxing if they can break through or it will ETR and deny access.

I've done minimal testing so far, so I'm still willing to try Chum if you think it's a better fit, or if you have other suggestions given my idea behind the ice.

@KaneKalos Sure, the game plan makes sense, but I do think Chum works better, simply because it's more flexible - it can function equally well to strengthen either your centrals or your remote and only takes 1 ice layer to be of full value. I'd predict that positional flexibility would be of greater value in Medtech when having a dead card in your hand early on could cost you the game.
