[Startup] NANI?! RH

This is a purely theorycraft deck, featuring one of the coolest Jinteki cards of Parelion, Nanisivik Grid. It's probably better out of Jinteki: Personal Evolution, but I like the idea of the most underrated corp identities channeling their inner Kenshiro and exploding Runners with net and core damage is too delicious to resist.

Omae wa mou shindeiru You're already dead

"I'd heard that long ago, a terrible killing technique was created called Hokuto Shin-Ken"

Our not so hidden tech is Bloop. We want to use our smaller deck and Wave to guarantee we find Bloops early and throughout the game (derezing Wave is an amazing “cost”). Trashing a runner’s program is nice, but our main aim is to afflict core damage. This is what we’re going to use to increase the threat of all our Jinteki net damage.

"All the fighter's energy is focused into one blow. It hits the vital points"

Installing and rezing a Bloop isn’t the primary way we plan on applying core damage: Nanisivik Grid guarantees we resolve a subroutine! By tossing a face-down Bloop into our archives any server protected by Nanisivik Grid can apply a core damage or trash a key program. Ansel 1.0 can even trash anything (and has some other useful subs)!

We also have the new Hafrún to when used in conjunction with our other tech helps disable key pieces of the Runner’s rig at the right moment, protecting Agendas and assets.

Finally, thanks to Spin Doctor and the new Simulation Reset we can keep recycling our Ice and Nanisivik grids to keep up the pressure on the runner!

Note: Don't forget that Hansei Review can enable Nanisivik Grid as soon as the Runner's first turn!

"He has just preformed a killing technique. That damages the body from the inside-out, not outside-in"

We also have a back-up win condition: Dr. Vientiane Keeling.

When combined with core damage, rezzing Dr Keeling during the paid ability window after the runner’s final click (and before the discard phase), means they hopefully will lose another card. Dr Keeling will put a lot of pressure on the runner. Now they have to deal with Keeling, hopefully relieving a little bit of pressure on your Archives.

Since we don’t have to rez Dr Keeling right away, once the Runner understands the threat, they have to start respecting facedown assets in our remote. Is it an agenda? Dr Keeling? Spin Doctor? A Snare!?

10, 9, 8…

Thanks to a few applications of core damage and Dr Keeling, all our other two or three net damage ice can do work courtesy of Nanisivik Grid too. If the server is protected by Anemone the runner is in for even more pain!

NANI?!

Thanks for reading my little write-up! Let me know if you have any luck with the deck, or other fun and wild Nanisivik Grid moments you might have had. The cards in Parhelion and rotation have really shaken up everything and made me want to play Startup again.
