The 7/5 agenda

Lttlefoot 1285

If you use mushin on a vanity project and advance it again, you can play "clones" on your next turn and still score the agenda. That's 5 points. Use gene splicer for your 6th point.

Or you can play an 'always advance' game over 2 turns. Install something and advance it once. If the runner runs it straight away, they lose more paying through your big ice than you spent advancing the card. If they don't, advance it three more times. Now if it's an ambush, it's just as dangerous as if it was mushined. If they still don't run it, use back channels to get your credits back (or if it's a vanity project, play "clones" and score it).

Neural EMP will finish off anyone who hits a 4-advanced overwriter or junebug. Usual caveats about on the lam and laguna apply.

Should you use Obokata Protocol instead of The Future Perfect? If you ever land a Cerebral Overwriter, it'd be very difficult for runners to have the cards to steal Obokata. Additionally, Medical Research Fundraiser + TFP is sorta a non-bo: If you give them money, they can keep running and playing the Psi game.

I think the idea of 4 (from Vanity Project) + 1 from Gene Splicer + 1 from "Clones are not People" is very fun though!

I think that you should use Obokata Protocol over The Future Perfect for 2 reasons:

I do really like the thought behind scoring one agenda (Vanity) and getting the next 2 points via Gene Splicer and/or "Clones are not People"!

The runner can't just repeat the psi game at will unless there is no ice on the server TFP is in. Paying through the ice three times is more expensive than Obokata. Also, if it's in HQ, the runner won't access it every time they run that server unless there's no other cards in there. Obokata is better in decks that might want to install it, but this deck doesn't want to.

What do you do when you get agenda flooded? Maybe add a Genotyping or Preemptive Action?
