Yo dawg, i heard you like tax, so i put some tax on your tax

This is my take on a horizontal Gagarin Deep Space: Expanding the Horizon deck, it's a pretty straight forward idea, you secure HQ and R&D first, all the while installing cards that the runner has to check in case your faking out an agenda (Something i have done before) meaning they are spending money to access and giving you money with Paywall Implementation.

The ice i chose to be taxing while still giving you the ability to keep the runner out with the abundance of Anarch runner these days i felt the lotus field was a good include, Errand Boy and Caduceus are there as a pseudo econ if your pads don't show up and the Orion and Wormhole are just there to be scary and taxing as all heck.

I tried to keep the agenda density low with mostly 5/3's and of course Project Atlas so you could fetch anything you needed, The Cleaners is there to fake out some meat damage (why would i run it if i wasn't trying to scorch you right?).

I've been tossing up dropping Constellation Protocol for another asset as i'm not really sure that it's a good choice for this deck, i might drop it for GRNDL Refinery just to have another asset for the corp to have to trash, and if they don't you have allot of credits to rez that big ice.

I'm happy to take criticism and recomendations.

With only 4 pieces of advance ICE, I would say the Constellation Protocols are a bit much.

Something to bear in mind is that you have only the Project Atlas that you could score from unadvanced, and then every other agenda will take you at least two turns. If the runner sees anything with an advancement counter on it, they might just run it to check, and where does that leave you?

Assuming your ICE is solid enough, you'll be fine, but it might be worth putting in a couple of traps (Aggressive Secretary, Shattered Remains, Cerebral Overwriter, etc.) so you can fake them out with the advances.
