Space Institute

This is a hybrid glacier/fast advance style Tennin deck. The new space ice opens up some great opportunities for punishing the runner for not making successful runs. It's also great for bluffing. Is that an Asteroid Belt or a Swordsman? Are you willing to bet your Eater on it?

Crisium Grid and Caprice keep the runner from making successful runs, in addition to preventing Eater spam. Quandary and Himitsu-Bako are cheap to rez and keep the runner out. Lotus is resistant to Hivemind/Parasite. Swordsman kills Eaters. Guard prevents Femme/Inside Job/Feint. Wormhole throws a wrench at Yog, and can potentially kill a program with a rezzed Nebula. Bad Publicity? No problem. Just score a Clone Retirement. MaxX recursion got you down? Hello Chronos Project! Mk II can prevent the utensils from eating your ice. The Future Perfect, as always, protects itself. As always, Your Meta May Vary, so you may want to swap Chronos for Veteran's Program if Valencia is swamping you.

How to pilot? Pretty straightforward. Get cheap ETR ice out turn 1. If the runner is hesitant to run, you get advancement counters on you ice. If the runner runs on archives to prevent it, they've wasted a click. Win/win for you. With 4 advancement tokens on the board and two ToLs you can score a Mk II from hand. If you need to you can score a Clone Retirement from hand to ditch bad pub against Valencia.

Space Ice is cheap/free to rez and very taxing. Obviously this deck was designed with Keyhole/Eater in mind and is very strong against that type of deck. Against more traditional decks it is taxing in general. Weakest match-up is probably a virus-mill Noise, but if you speed up your playstyle it's possible to beat him, especially if he doesn't bother running.
