I like the idea and also wanted to build a deck around it. Your decklist looks solid, but there are a few things striking my eye.

1.) what are those archived mems and reclamtion orders for? sundew? It's quite a lot recursion, especially with jackson in addition. 2.) i would consider to play at least one barrier just to force a barrier breaker out 3.) i miss yagura - but that's just my personal preference, because its one of my favorite jinteki ice 4.) will-o and swordsman might not be enough - maybe you could put in one Grim or an Ichi? Even a surprise Archer might be a solid choice?!

All in all i really like this list, and strength 8 Tollbooth is scary/ massive as hell xD

Archived memories and Interns is for early game claiming trashed Will-o-the-Wisp cuz u're screwed against R&D lock against Kit or any shapers(SMC, clonechip ect). Reclamation Order otherhand is for any cards. Depends situations ofc. Added these just because got a feeling takes too much time to claim 2nd or 3rd Wisp if 1st one was trashed. Digging deck wasnt fun with 11 agenda cards. JH helps ofc. I'm not feeling comfortable adding any barrier or sentry ICEs(except Archer). Any installed icebreaker which isnt cold gate is waste of money. Swordman is for AI ofc. Mainly front of agenda server if Crypsis is in play.

I've playtested this deck with early version. Gotta try this asap.

Hm actually i don's understand what you mean. Sure if you have a barrier or sentry the runner hast to install his breaker and pay money, but isn't this exactly what you want him to do?

As soon as your opponent knows your deck, he probably wont install anything else than a code gate and/ or AI-breaker anymore. Even Swordsman isn't that much of a big deal anymore, because you can easily parasite him. Having at least one other taxing Barrier or Sentry will force the runner to install all the breakers, regardless of your code gate storm. I am not even sure if it's clever to rely too much on Willo. This is more a two-of card, than a three-of, imo, but this depends on personal preference probably.
