Good Guy Replication!

Dydra 2799

So I decided to expand on the idea that my friend gave me about a not-gonna-kill-u Jinteki and this is what I came up with and I think I'm onto something, although it needs 1-2 polishing touches!

General Idea

  • Out-muscle the runner with money and expensive ICE
  • Play horizontal with MANY MANY "unprotected remotes"
  • Ruhr +Caprice combo

Agenda Spread

  • Just minimum size Agenda, you don't need any fancy stuff although Priority Req gives u free rezz on your expensive ICE and TFP has inherited protection from R*D and HQ sniping.
  • Philotic can kill them at 6 points if they don't know about it and leave a 0 advance card (which u will have plenty of)
  • If you have a choice between installing a Priority Req and TFP, go for Priority Req and keep TFP in hand.

Economy of this deck:

  • Private Contracts are replaced by Mental health Clinic, because unlike my Replicating Kills deck, we don't care about the runner having +1 hand size, because we won't kill him
  • Sundews as always awesome in RP
  • Diversified Portfolio! I knew that this card in the correct deck will be so strong! Now let's just have a look at HOW many remotes we will have down - 3x MHC , 3x Encrypt , 2x Tenma, 3x Sundew + 1 big remote + Random ice/uprgade just thrown there to exist ... 10-to-12 c for 1 Portfolio if everything is down? Pretty nice, right? ;) Of course it won't be down as much, but u can understand the potential of the card.

ICE

Barrier

  • Standard for me. Thought for a second abt WoT, because money shouldn't be a problem in this deck, but then decided to put on more Sentry instead of it

Code Gate(s)

  • Worth nothing that I don't run Shiro, which considering that the only thing that can hurt the runner from R*D is Shock! does not worth it.
  • The rest is pretty much my Standard Code Gate Jinteki spread, with having 1 more Inazuma, because we have spot for it.
  • Inazuma is simply amazing. Imagin Inazuma-ing them into a Rotto-turret or Grim for their Sentry breaker, GG ;D

Sentry

  • Just annoying, taxing and some harmful ICE. Rototurret and Grim for Program Trash and catching people off-guard. Shinobi kill some1 if u are swimming in money.

  • Susanoo! If u Susanoo them out of your Rurh Valley remote, it's just game :D Also Shocks in Archive! Be careful to not get Femm/Knight-ed! Having them to deal with that ICE+ the Ruhr with Caprice combo in the remote is just bonkers!

Note: Don't go too crazy on the bad pub, because it might remove the effect of them getting taxed on a central in the first click. But rezz when u can make an Impact (early game program trash, money drain or kill)

The Other cards:

  • Encryption Protocol - should be a gem in this deck. Not only it will give u money to DPF (Diversified Portfolio) but it will make them think A LOT about trashing your other naked asset/remotes or that unrezzed Ruhr Valley.
  • Tenma Line - is an interesting choise and I actually took 2 ICE from the 20 ICE count to lower it to 18 and get the 2 Tenma here. The idea is that once you install the agenda (might be 0 advance) in your remote, u can swap-around the ICE to make it the most taxing for the runner to get there and imagine if they don't get the bid on Caprice+ Ruhr after that lol. Also buffs DPF and won't see a trash if u have 1-2 Encryption Protocols out
  • Reclamation Order - there to pick up your used DPF, trashed Caprice/Ruhr/ Sundews and MHC whatever u need... but the general idea is to use it for DPF
  • Shocks! for some R*D protection and Susanoo combo

Some things to think about:

  • Depending on how helpful the Tenma are and how fast you are getting your agendas, it might worth it to have 2x Fast Track to draw in your Agendas when you have everything setup and ready to push your advantage for the win.
  • The exact count of Ruhr and Caprice might need testing, but for starters I've set 3 of each to have maximum chance to setup the remote
  • Throw in some Celebrity or Medical Fundraiser ( u don't really care about giving the runner 3c when you will out muscle him with so many remotes) in the place of Tenma/Shock/Caprice/Ruhr if the money feel low!

and nJoy the deck! I expect it to be quite crushing and I imagine somewhat similar playstyle to db0's untrashable decks!

Cheers, Dydra
