We are all about (ending your) life

SaltMaina 2

Got to try my hand at a PE Jinteki as a new player with limited access to the card pool and with refraining from proxying anything for now as to not get too overwhelmed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is Jinteki "We're all about Life" Personal Evolution, built only from access to having the following sets:

-System Gateway 2021

-System Update 2021

-The Automata Initiative (Liberation Cycle)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now with that out of the way this deck has a very simple goal, which is not scoring agendas per se, but just Life (not the Kellogs cereal), particularly the Runner's and how to end it.

The idea and inspiration behind this (not very inspired or original, I know but bear with me as a new player) was what drew me originally to Netrunner, and it's the concept of bluffing. Is this Asset behind 2 pieces of ICE an agenda? Is it a Clearinghouse? Perhaps an Urtica Cipher? Do I run for it or do I go for the unprotected remote server that might have a Nico Campaign or maybe a Snare!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I pondered a couple of cards to be switched to lean further into tags for the Orbital Superiority to hit with some ICE from NBN like Starlit Knight but I was unsure of how consistent that would be when I wasn't running Oppo Research or anything else that gets stuff from tagging the Runner. I also switched Celebrity Gift for a Hansei Review and I was also running some copies of Neurospike originally and a copy of Angelique Garza Correa but I thought against it in the end as Daniela Jorge Inácio is great as well and doesn't require influence.

As a last note from me: This is not a particularly unique or good deck, but it was my first one that I kind of liked how it turned out. It'll be something I look back into and laugh at myself and the choices I've made or maybe even the cards I thought were good.

@slice) master I like it very much. I think you're on the right track with your ideas and tag choices.
