Golden Path (6th EMEA MC)

Tempo Jinteki using powerful assets to overwhelm the runner.

Play patterns

The deck leverages AU Co. triggers to quickly create complicated boardstates for the runner to deal with. Key to this is protecting Cohort Guidance Program and Phật Gioan early, as these give you the counters necessary to keep applying pressure. They also aid or reward scoring, which should be a priority once at least one is active. Regenesis is the main way to get points, but Sting! and Fujii Asset Retrieval triggering Phật is a big tempo swing. To close out the game, fast advance with Moon Pool or lay a flatline trap with Measured Response.

Card choices

The Powers That Be give a tempo boost on score and recurring Cohort or Phật presents a new threat for the runner at an otherwise calm moment.

For the ice suite, Vampyronassa is a facecheck on a codegate and Tithe blocks Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga while being far cheaper than Saisentan. As for Tatu-Bola vs Semak-samun, Tatu making credits and still beating Botulus makes it the better choice.
