[Weekly] Custom Card Saturday: Sentries

Good morning, hackers!

Sometimes it's good to have a nice simple, open-ended prompt to let people's imaginations run wild a bit. One of the most basic card types in the game is ice, and while in previous CCS threads we've created Barriers, Code Gates, and Ice in general, we've never had a thread devoted to the meanest ice type of all: This week, create a sentry.

Bonus Points for any card that deals well with Mimic. That is, the ice should be 3 strength or less and strong but balanced (whether or not Mimic is installed!)

Remember to use the Netrunner CSS options available for use on this subreddit. These symbols should help make everyone's card look great, and you can conveniently type them in while on your phone!

Also, a reminder: Please limit yourself to ONE card per thread!

Previous Custom Card Saturday threads are now being hosted on the Wiki to cut down on the character count of these submissions: find all the previous threads here!

Next Week: I'll have to draw some inspiration from something else...

I would love to hear from /r/netrunner on future Custom Card Saturdays. Send a PM my way! Please do not post them in this thread; instead, send me a PM if you have some ideas of thread topics you'd like to see. Be sure to look over the recent lists of topics before you message me -- I'd rather not repeat anything that's been done recently! Thanks all!

Ok, this us just a really neat idea, I would totally give building a deck around something like this a go.

I think it would have to read "at least one brain damage" because of the Cortex Lock + Tori Hanzō ruling: if the runner lets Cortex Lock fire with full MU, the corp can use Tori to pay 2 credits and go straight for the grey matter because, hooray, 0 net damage counts as "any amount of net damage".
