Played a couple games when the core set was released. Trying to get back into it.... this is my first go since. Thoughts? Be brutal I am learning.

OK, let's do this:

First of all, I've seen worse as first tries :D

You really need more economy, though - especially the burst kind. Hedge Fund, Celebrity Gift, Subliminal Messaging are all cards you should be considering as 3-of. Asset-wise, you might want to consider Sundew, especially with the amount of ICE you're running. Drop the third Junebug (you'll only really need 2 in the deck anyway), and you might want to consider trying to fit in two Jacksons - they're great for drawing through stuff and recycling Snares you've drawn back into RnD.

Agendas: Fetal AI, dude! Drop the PSF (you're not tagging anyway, sod it) and go with Fetals - they're a huge tempo hit to the runner when accessed. The rest seems fine, although I'd consider swapping Gila Hands for those Predictions - even more econ.

ICE: Bastions should be Himitsu-Bako. Drop the Senseis (they suck) and go up to 3x Yagura and Tsurugi. I probably wouldn't play both Chum and Yagura (and of the two, Yagura is definitely better - it's an amazing piece of ICE), but it might work well for you - try and see.

Sentries seem fine, although I'd drop the Swordsmen completely and go up to 3x Katana and 3x Tsurugi instead.

My personal experience with Chimeras says you want two copies, not three... not sure what you'd swap it for though, and you ARE running Akitaro, so it might work out in the end after all.

Other than that, looks like a reasonable deck! Good luck with it :)
