The Sinking of the Titanic

Rashida Jaheem is stupid. Rashida Jaheem and Special Report in concert with Jinja City Grid is stuuuuuupid.

I've said it before that I'm not a fan of the 6 three-pointer setup. I'm not a big fan of Echo Chamber, and it feels clunky to me, even if SSL is an awesome card. (That, and the Indexing problem.) I much prefer Project Beale, because it can be your Vanity Project while still being only two points to steal. This deck wins with two agendas; a fair amount of the time your opponent needs four. That's bananas.

It's possible the deck wants one defensive upgrade other than the pseudo-defense of NGO Front. It's also possible the deck doesn't even want NGO Front, considering how much raw money you make.

You don't need a massive server to win the game (though it doesn't hurt the Seidrs). Jinja is here more to give you a quick tempo boost, not unlike Rashida herself - a few free clicks and credits to speed yourself toward your secret 7/4.

I tested it out, but Gbahali etc made shame of my Jinja City Grid tower! You might consider adding Navi Mumbai City Grid to deal with those very predominent ressource breakers (and teacher guy)

@zmbThe problem there is Navi Mumbai and Jinja City are both regions; you'd have to trash your Jinja to play Navi Mumbai. Which in itself isn't a huge problem, but it'd require picking your moment well. I think in that matchup you're leaning on Scarcity of Resources and rushing them out before they assemble a critical mass of beasts.

Good point!

I think he was running quite a deck: Apex with Imp, Friday Chip and Consume. It made him a ton of money, and since breakers was Crypsis and Hooks/Gbahali etc it was kinda hard to keep him out.

Yeah, in that situation, you might just consider yourself teched-out and be leaning on the taxing effects of Tollbooth et al. This is where the deck breaks from, say, Wishbone.

A heart for the deck name alone
