Tricky Advance

proxy 612

Here's my planned decklist for Jinteki Fast Advance.

I opted for just running 40 cards to run into more Trick of Lights, more Celebrity Gifts, etc. I also opted for 2 SanSans, 3 Jacksons, 3 Ice Walls, when I definitely could have gone 3 SanSans, 3 Ice Walls, foregoing the Jacksons.

I really like the agenda suite, making it first to 3 agenda's wins. The thing about these agendas are the NAPDs are tough to score, and the first Medical Breakthrough stolen enables the next two to be scored from hand. The rest you can just score from hand.

MUSHIN NO SHIN!

I agree with x3r0h0ur, with Junebug and fast advance this deck is screaming for Mushin no Shin. If you take a look at my GRNDL: Quick as a Corpse and my Party Planner deck, you'll see some of the tricks that can be played with Mushin. In your case, I see your best value coming from planting a Junebug with Mushin, or baiting the Runner into a wasteful run by planting Jackson. Your Trick of Light allows you to move the tokens from non-advancable cards to advancable cards.

Shinobi is a piece of ice that I would evaluate against either of your barriers. I would play a one-off of Shinobi, probably in place of one Ice Wall. It's a nasty card in it's own right, and has the potential to flatline by itself against an unprepared runner. The Bad Publicity is a factor with NAPD contract in play, but I see Shinobi as only being rezzed if there's a high probability of flatlining with the rez.

The SanSan is considered a staple card for Fast Advance, but it only allows for single turn scoring of 4 out of 5 of your agendas. Considering the expense behind SanSan, I would evaluate it against Mushin no Shin with Plan B shenanigans instead (review my GRNDL: Quick as a Corpse deck to see how that works).

I'm not sold on Mushin No Shin in a Fast Advance setting.

Shinobi is bad with NAPD in the same deck.

I can score 6 of 9 agendas through SanSan, the 3 Braintrust, the 1 Philotic Entanglement, and the 2nd and 3rd Medical Breakthrough.
