Hoshiko's Tradings

Jamil 39

Like shapers with whom she shares some connections, Hoshiko loves to buy and sell programs. But unlike shapers, she has the bad habit of trashing them to make money, finding them later in the bin, and selling them again and again to mess with the Corp's maths !

The plan requires a few tools, but once you keep the economic engine going, there is nothing to stop you. Those complementary tools are Patchwork, Aesop's Pawnshop, and Paladin Poemu. The targets are your favourite anarch reusable programs.

To help you save even more money and in case you need it against big nasty ICE, you have Cybertrooper Talut to boost the strength of your programs once you re-install them (which is the main flaw of Black Orchestra and MKUltra especially), and Trickster Taka to use them and complete the run.

And this, almost every turn !

Set up during Hoshiko's resting turns with Patchwork discarding them programs, then run and, when needed, install for cheap with Paladin Poemu and/or Patchwork again, and at the beginning of the next turn when you'll rest and set up anew, re-sell them to Aesop !

Data Folding will help you with some drip economy, because most of the time at the beginning of your turn, the MU is empty...

Be careful though of your "ark" enemy - Ark Lockdown.

Also, beware of your deck quickly running dry. For that, and with all that available MU, the long game and Jinteki match-ups strongly benefit from Trope. Special thanks to @Gardwin for this excellent suggestion.

Set up while trashing, run with straight out-of-the-bin progs, and sell them to annoy the Corp even more (Professional killers should always make their weapons disappear, right?)!

Nice Deck! Love the Idea! But why don't you run Dreamnets? They are insane, especially with Cybertrooper Talut. Also, an idea i tried out is to cut the Career Fairs, the Hostage and the Turning Wheels, the Hippos and the console for 2 Apocalypse, some economy and 2 Medium. Talut as well as Aesops and them Bin-breakers serve double duty then. And the best thing is: You can threaten Apoc but your not super reliant on it, as you have quite a good drip economy anyways.
