Deckhelp. Core + 1 pack

find a way to replace battering ram with corroder, maybe dropping wyldside? you have diesel in faction. and consider a single femme if you can find the influence. archer is going to kick your ass eventually.

well if you're cool with your core shaper and leaving it up to the corp, and you want jinteki. it's tough. jinteki RP has a lot of moving parts that make the ID really powerful. House of knives, mushin no shin, fetal AI, you get the drill.

long story short, your agenda suite is going to suck, you have 2 options from here on really.

Trace Amount * Replicating Perfection may be a stronger ID choice considering that you have some big point agendas and are going to struggle to play the thousand cuts style that makes PE jinteki scary.

  • Fetal AI which as you've already found out is a fantastic card.

  • Trick of Light as you've noticed, this is Jintekis personal "fast advance" option. allowing you to score agendas with clutch trick of lights, but also allowing you to move off of junebugs onto toher pieces of ice. 2 of these could score a Nisei MK II out of hand, which could make for some clutch wins.

  • Executive Retreat a VERY solid alternative to Priority Req Suggested Decklist

Scorch Variant

Opening Moves

  • Our Lord and Savior Jackson howard is almost undoubtedly the best corp card in the game. Jackson howard will allow you to shuffle snares back into your deck, dump big agendas out of your deck, mulligan in the middle of the game, and makes it really hard for noise to mill agendas off of your deck since you can shuffle those back in.

  • Himitsu-Bako is a small ETR ice which is usually something Jinteki would import. IF you take this pack, you won't have trick of light, which means you will be swapping ice walls (which trick of light should have) for this anyways.

  • Grim is something that people reading this thread may look at and find strange, especially for jinteki. But there's 2 reasons weyland is so strong in core set only. 1=Scorched Earth, since you would have to buy a mostly sub par pack if you wanted plascretes which are the strongest scorch protection. and 2=Archer. If you keep in mind that deluxe expansions will be illegal, this means there's no Clone Chip. Trashing an important breaker can seriously hose the runner and create massive scoring windows until they can find replacements.

  • Celecrity Gift may be able to help sort the econ problems that Jinteki REALLY struggles with. Show them a fistful of ice, be careful not to overextend with this card. Information is power.
