Jem in the rough

DrJekyll 34

Jemison is a "nicer" branch of the Weyland consortium by comparison playing without any meat damage so thought the title fits. This is a post rotation Jemison deck I'm trying now a lot of its tools are released. It is aimed at scoring two 3 point agendas and as many one pointers as possible for forfeit and that last point needed.

For the three pointers the ways to score from hand are biotic oberth and a 3 pointer into play and let it do its thing, place a unadvanced 3 pointer behind a archer which they can't get through and advance the rest next turn (can be risky), and finally biotic a red planet courriers and a 3 pointer usually late game which is why there is only one as need to set up the counters on ice with Shipment from Kaguya and possibly an archer rezzed while not being used to score during the game. The reason I haven't used Success is there is enough cards need forfeited agendas and biotics and it has the limitation of needing a 3/1 agenda to biotic from hand a 3 pointer. There is a contingency on the archer play that if they don't run it you can enact one of the other plans if possible without a biotic needed.

The choice of agendas are global food and High-Risk Investment to reduce agenda density and get money respectively. For the one pointers hostile takeover is a no brainer and The Future is Now which can be scored from hand with Audacity and use it as hidden tutor (with project atlas rotating) so can pull that final piece to combo score a 3 pointer.

The ICE is fairly standard, low to mid strength ICE mostly looking at prenventing successful runs but also including some advancable ICE for red planet courriers. The ICE is fairly cheap (max 4 credits) this is to prevent needing lots of money so have room for Jemison tools and still have money to biotic as much as I need to. The ICE does loose a bit of its luster in the late game but this is a fast advance deck trying to win early.

There is not much recursion just Archived Memories which is really more for biotics or another key piece, so will struggle with flood or decks with noise or maw (Preemptive Action is probably a very good add without jackson which I may try later). I have limited trashables especially assets mainly to counter maw but also to not help aeneas informant or medium. Other problems are just typical fast advance problems like clot and source which usually requires risky play to get around.

I've only played it on jinteki.net so far but is really fun and actually comes together quite well. Look forward to hearing what people think about this deck and what improvements might be needed.
