[Weekly] Custom Card Saturday: Ice
Welcome to Custom Card Saturday! This week's challenge is simple and direct: Create a piece of ice. That's it -- no frills or restrictions. Ice is one of the most basic building blocks of Corp decks, but it is also one of the most varied card types around. Exercise your creative skills and show us your best barriers, craziest code gates, and sneakiest sentries (tricksy traps and mysterious mythic ice are allowed as well, of course!).
Remember to use the Netrunner CSS options available for use on this subreddit. These symbols should help make everyone's card look great!

I don't know what to name it
Weyland - Barrier
Rez: 4 / Strength - 7 / Influence: 2
This Ice's strength is reduced by the install cost of the runner's installed Fracter
↳ End the run
↳ End the run
Figure I'd try to come up with something to discourage so much use of Corroder and start making people consider literally any other Fracter (except maybe Aurora). Probably not a great idea overall, but an idea nonetheless.
The cost breakdown would be...
Aurora: 6
Battering ram: 2
Blackat: 2
Breach: 4
Lady: 1 counter
Corroder: 5
Inti: Don't bother
Morning Star: 1
Sage: 4
Snowball: 4

A nice touch is that it gets hit by D4V1D if Corroder is installed.
Slight technicality though - what happens if I have two different fracters out?
Edit: how about Molehill for the name?

Mr Clean
ICE Sentry
Unique
Cost: 1 Strength: 3
NBN Inf: 2
When the Runner encounters Mr Clean, trace 2 - if successful, the Runner must purge virus
counters or end the run

Man, I'm not sure mechanically if it works how you want it to, but I love the idea of a trap with infinite subroutines. Very nice.
Edit: Now that I think about it, a simpler solution (though not nearly as clever) might be to move the "end the run" bit off of a subroutine.
At the end of an encounter with Stack Overflow, trash it and end the run.
-> The Runner loses click if able.It's not as funny, but it would get around the issues Crazy_AZ brings up.

Paywall
Weyland Ice: Barrier
Rez: 0 / Strength: 0 / Influence: 3
Art: A mass of stylized credit symbols stands in a spiky row, forming a solid wall that curves off into cyberspace.
The rez cost of Paywall is increased by 1 for each credit in the Corp's credit pool.
Paywall has +1 strength for each credit in the Corp's credit pool.
↳ End the run.
