Jujitsu (Undefeated @ Millennium Games SC Rochester, NY)

Note: since the runner order of access, they can always just access and trash tori before accessing the shocks, preventing the brain. Also, since tori needs to be rezzed before access, they'll almost always access her first

But if they access Tori first then there will be facedown cards in archive so she will cost more to trash ;-)

Since you're making so many servers, wouldn't Turtlebacks be a good include?

Maybe. But card slots are scarce, and since there's already sufficient economy in the deck, I don't think it's necessary.

They'd probably make you more cash than Pad Campaign, up to you though! Looks interesting, I'd be interested to hear how well it works :)

@yarsiemanym Incorrect. Cards in archives are turned face up ss the first step prior to accesing individual cards. IG is incapable of increasing the trash cost of an upgrade installed in archives.

Hosukai Grid might have more shelf life over archives then.

Guess we found the room for Turtlebacks!

0 ice is begging to get wrecked by MaxX and Criminals. With 1 Fetal AI and no Snare! the R&D lock is the surefire win. Runner decks have economy enough to be able to get through ice and trash cards, so even with the increase in trash costs without needing to break any ice the runner will have plenty of money to trash important things (in this decks case, that's Ronin and cards out of R&D).

Server Diagnostics will get you plenty of money, but you don't really have much to use that money on without ice to rez. There's nothing really threatening in remotes, so the extra clicks they have from drawing up and running R&D can be used to check every remote with no problem. Philotic and NAPD are going to be a pain to score.

I'm curious how it does, but I don't hold very high hopes.

@MarbleMunkey, interesting. I'm not sure I'd take out Tori Hanzō but that would definitely affect her placement.

@rumirumirumirumi, this deck went undefeated at my local store championship and has done really we in my league. A MaxX: Maximum Punk Rock + Keyhole deck recently gave me a run for my money but with Jackson Howard in a remote, and archives full of a bunch of face down cards, Shock!s, Shi.Kyūs, The Future Perfects and NAPD Contracts, he couldn't really capitalize. He tried to just straight up deck me when I got him with Chairman Hiro, Ronin and Neural EMP.

I wouldn't go so far to say it's a world class deck but it's fun and has done well in a semi-competitive meta.

@yarsiemanym so were you playing tori on archives that was the whole tournament? :\

@CJFM, I don't understand the question. I did do that one game but I never ended up rezzing her and won with agenda points.

@yarsiemanym sorry for the typo. I meant to type 'that way' not 'that was'.

Surely Hostile Infrastructure has a place in this deck? And maybe Encryption Protocol as well in place of Strongbox?

I'm trying this out though. I love IG. More IG decks please.

I don't think Caprice works here.

@Dawnev, if you're implying that there's no ICE so she doesn't trigger, it's in the FAQ. She does trigger even if there is no ICE but she must be rezzed prior to the start of the run. If you rez her at the pre-access ability window then it's too late for her to be effective.

Did you experience any Siphon spam in your tournament?

@rumirumirumirumi, I didn't get spammed. Just hit with it once or twice. It was recoverable. I imagine Account Siphon spam would be an issue though. Caprice is my only real defense against it.

So what do you do against Security Testing? Because most Andy decks run it...and in a competitive environment that is something you will surely encounter.

@Craloaa, let them use it on archives all they want. They don't access so they don't flip any cards face up. If they want to burn a whole turn to get the credits to trash a single card, I think that works in my favor.

Oops, sorry, I was thinking about the effect eater has when used before accessing archives, but I didn't really put much thought into it when I assumed security testing was going to do the same thing.

From the rules on accessing Archives:

The Runner accesses all cards in Archives and any upgrades in its root. The Runner turns all cards faceup when accessing them, and does not need to keep them in order. The Runner steals all agendas in Archives and cannot trash cards that are already in Archives. After accessing Archives, all cards in Archives return to Archives faceup.

This seems vague; are cards all flipped over at once when accessing begins, or are they flipped over one at a time as the runner chooses each card to access? The second seems consistent with the design of the rest of the accessing rules, since all other accesses happen one at a time.

When accessing multiple cards, the Runner accesses them one at a time in any order he likes. For example, the Runner may access a card from HQ, then an upgrade installed in the root of HQ, and then another card from HQ, if he has the ability to do so.

The Runner must fully resolve his access to a card (steal it, pay to trash it, etc.) before accessing the next card.

Looking at this, it definitely seems the cards would be flipped one at a time. This means if there are 6 cards face down in Archives with a Tori Hanzō present, she would cost 8 to trash. Each time a runner flips a card in Archives, that cost goes down by one, but if one of those cards is a Shock!, the corp pays 2 to deal a brain damage.

@FarCryFromHuman Nope.

From the FAQ: "When accessing cards in Archives, the Runner turns all cards faceup in Archives before accessing them. Then he accesses and resolves individual cards one by one, in any order he wants. If the Runner uses a replacement effect, then he does not turn any facedown cards faceup. "

You flip cards face-up, then access Hanzo, trash for normal amount.

That definitely seems against the spirit of the rules, but so sayeth the FAQ.

In that case, I'd probably swap Philotic Entanglement and a Neural EMP for 2 more House of Knives. Can't rely on Shock! or Shi.Kyū setup up Tori Hanzō.

@FarCryFromHuman This isn't ultimate frisbee.
