So this has been an idea I’ve been tossing around lately. It all started with a deck I called the Ultron Project, sometimes I try to make weird deck names, leave me alone. This was a Sentry only deck relying on the fact that all Sentry breakers have some type of weakness. Femme and pipeline are expensive, creep and Cujo don’t see too much play, and Faerie is a one shot. The only weakness would be Garrote and Mimic with datasucker.

I know there is a lot of things that can be improved on but these are the cards I have and it was a random idea to try out. The hopes are to pull out their killers with something small like Guard then hit them with something big like Grim or Archer to trash it then score a Chronos to remove it from the game. Chimera is in there to still pressure them to install a fractor and decoder. This deck took second place in a Toledo league tournament.
What do you guys think of a deck that only runs one type of ICE? Perhaps an RP deck that runs only code gates with Unorthodox Predictions and Genetic Resequencing to have the equivalent of at least 9 Nisei counters. Or a Blue Sun deck with only barriers with Superior Cyberwalls. While they have weaknesses, with the right set up, it is an interesting idea.
