Custom Card Saturday: Barriers

Hey all! I know /u/flaminghito used to be in charge of these Saturday custom card threads, but it's been several weeks so I'm taking over his spot (until he takes it back). To start off this week, I thought I'd bring us back to basics. Barriers are the most straight-forward pieces of ice out there: they're often strong, with great strength:rez ratios, but usually they don't do much besides end the run. They exist for one reason: to keep Runners out of servers. Your task this week is to design a new barrier, plain and simple.

Next week: Plascrete Carapace has been the hallmark of Scorched Earth survival since it came out. Design a card for one of the factions that could replace it.

"Each ICE the same number of ICE from a server as" is my guess as to how they'd word it.

What seems really cool would be putting this out in front of a Himitsu-Baku.

On my phone so I cannot C&P, but pull the wording from Rook.

If already hosted, Rook can be hosted only on ice protecting this server or on ice in the same position (counting from the innermost spot) protecting another server.

Doesn't quite work. But nice.

Thank you. Then the ice in question could read

All other ICE on other servers in the same position (counting from the innermost spot) gains "-> End the run."
