First of all, NRDB won't let you publish janksgiving lists since they're over influence. Replace the 6 neutral upgrades here with the 2nd and 3rd copies each of Oppo, Market, and CPC to make the real list.

Janksgiving is a charity tournament where you tell the GLC discord bot $jank corp and $jank runner 3 times each, pick the best one for each side, must play 3 copies of each rolled card (ignoring influence), and then get 5 real influence besides. As you can see, I rolled Jemison with the 3 yellow cards that aren't spin, and was like, oppo in weyland, why not?

This is an extremely linear deck:

  1. Score hostile
  2. Draw false lead and one of the 4 sacrifice-agenda assets, and sac the hostile to fast advance it
  3. Sprint away all your 5/3s until you assemble Oppo EOTL EOTL
  4. Feed them 3 points and kill them

The market forces is kind of weird. Once I drew 2 oppos before the kill package so I just used it for value. Otherwise you discard all but the 1st copy, to play on the final turn, which lets you go broke playing the oppo and basically play it as a TBTF. The CPCs were mostly completely blank, but they did make me like 6 credits against a Lat, who had to click for credits sometimes to make the Lat draw. It was pretty funny.

I hope the takeaway from this post is not, like, play this deck, but, like, janksgiving is an amazing format and more people should run it. It's most of the joy of cube without all the drafting time.
