Deal or No Deal

We were expecting you...

Let's play a game.

.

We have something for you, here you go —
won't you take it?
You might like it.
Time is ticking.

.

No? A shame.
No worries, We .. have other gifts.
Remember now, time is ticking.

.

Did you feel it? As We understand, it stung,
but We assure you — you are still with us.

.

Life is pain, Runner. We sell nothing.
Welcome to our game.

How to Play

This deck is composed almost entirely of 3 advance agendas.
You will be playing fast advance. There will be a metagame.

Ice your two centrals and one primary remote server.
Then place a card in it, present it to your honored guest.
Let him or her know that it is now or never,
that life is fleeting, but Knowledge is free.

Continue in this way for the duration of the game.

.

Play the long game.
Never become low on funds.
Take credits often. Always have at least 4. Protect HQ from Account Siphon.

Your ambushes should protect your centrals
and serve as bluffing fodder.

Jackson should help thin out agenda surges,
get snares rolling again,
and serve as bluffing fodder.

Build a damage bank.
Let your Mambas accrue counters.
Let your Neural EMPs accrue in hand.
Try to get multiple House of Knives going.

Avoid trying to score the first Medical Breakthrough.
Avoid trying to score the The Future Perfect ever. These require more than 3 advancements and announce themselves..

The ice is all cheap. Except one Komainu
and the quintessential Mamba.

Special Thanks

@db0 for agenda choice.

@Quinns for quote: Cortex Lock because it's the most fun you can have with 2 credits.

Why Sweeps Week over Hedge Fund while they will give you max 4 credits in most cases?

@SlayerCNV:

The short answer is: Because of play cost.
1: Sweeps Week
5: Hedge Fund

We are Jinteki .

Our ice are some of the least taxing.
When the Runner wants in, the Runner will enter.
We are only an embryo, and not at all a wall.

Our defense comes in the form of
what that soft exterior will grow into.
Typically nothing, but the serpantine threat
truly is enough.

Without credits , that threat is gone.
The Runner will take full advantage during these episodes.

.

Mambas, Komainu, Snare!s and agendas will drain us,
but We must use them.
Account Siphons will drain us,
but We must expect them.

Sweeps Week will bounce us back
after these cards enter play.
Sweeps Week will benefit us
no matter how busy or how stagnant the board has been.
