Sorry if you already know this, but Corp decks can go up to min + 4 cards (so 44 in this deck) before you have to add more agendas. It's genereally considered better as you lower the agenda density by adding the 4 extra cards

There's cool theoretical 40 card decks, but I think I have better question than that.

How does the deck win? What does it do on the last turn or two of the game? I can see a few different ideas on how to win, and I think the deck would be stronger if you drilled down on one of them. For example, if the plan is to win using the meat damage from a well protected orbital, public trail could be used to tag the runner before you score. Alternatively, if the plan is to score agendas quickly before the runner runs them, then superconducting hub and seamless launch are good to look into.

One thing I can feel you fighting against is the small card pool. I'de have a peak at System Update. San San City Grid would help you to score agendas. Alternatively, Psychographics/Project Beale gives you another reason to tag the runner, and gives the first payoff for "tagstorm" putting multiple tags on the runner.

Thanks for the comments. I really didnt expect any reviews of this deck.

This deck was made to have a friendly bout with a friend with only System Gateway cards and to just get familiar again with Netrunner (We last played when Creation and Control came out). I did feel that there wasn't that many great tag punishment cards in Gateway, but I always liked NBN's flavour. It is also true that I didn't put in much thought into making the deck, I just threw in cards that I liked. I have tweaked it a bit since, adding in Public Trail and cutting some Voids and Retribution for Seamless Launch and Manegarm instead.

Also, thanks for the tip on going up to 44 cards. It didn't occur to me and it makes a lot of sense. I had the "fewer cards, more consistency" mindset and I didn't think about the agenda density.

Cheers y'all. Have a good new year!
