AG > Palana

Also arguably 8 agenda suite is better

I agree that AG might be the stronger Jinteki Glacier, but I feel dialed in with Palana in a way that I don't with AG.

8 Agenda suite is considerably worse in my eyes though. You're typically playing 3 Obokata, 1 TFP, and a combination of 4 of Nisei and Cyberdex Sandbox. With Jinteki Glacier, your optimal scoring plan is scoring 2 2-pointers and then finishing with a 3 pointer. This deck has a good ratio of 6 to 3 of those, so in most cases, you will naturally draw into the agendas you need, allowing you to go lighter on the HQ defense.

With the 8 agenda suite, you have many more draws, where you draw into your 3-pointers first and are forced to score them for no benefit. Also its possible to have a safe scoring remote for the Obokata (especially in this version with Data Loops), where you cannot score a TFP safely.

Macrophage still is awesome though and might even deserve a second slot depending on the Runner meta.
