No-Gimmick Jemison

I think Jemison is still the most fun Corp ID currently in the game, even if it's not meta. I've played a lot of Jemison over the years and there's usually a gimmick involved like rigshooting with Archer or doing False Lead tricks or whatever but this list is comparatively pretty simple.

You want a Hostile Takeover scored ASAP. From there, you can parley this into a Project Atlas that can grab you another Hostile, or an FA tool to turn the Atlas into an SDS Drone Deployment, or whatever. Red Level Clearance is the secret sauce that makes the deck work because it lets you save a click on installing your FA tools, a click that can turn an empty board into a 4-advanced Atlas, an OffOff, or whatever.

You have to play a lot of flood mitigating cards because your agenda density is high and your ICE count is low. Unless you can Tree Line Akhet or another Tree Line, I wouldn't count on anything surviving more than 1 turn. However, once you have a Standoff or Hostile scored people are afraid of Archers so that buys you some time.

Biotic Labor can be used to secure your last points, potentially along with Success.

Your Urtica Cipher sits in your Oberth Protocol remote to protect it as you prep a score. It's a classic trick that's pretty obvious but it's been a while since anyone's seen it so it can kill a good couple runners off 3 advancements but ideally you want 4. This is probably your one gimmick.

ICE is kind of whatever. Put the HQ stuff on HQ and try and Tree Line something to keep them out of your scoring remote.

Some choices you might consider are trading OffOff for Above the Law so Biotic wins are easier but this deck is pretty poor so OffOff does help with that. Success is lowkey dubious because trading an Atlas into an SDS doesn't really do anything, same with Hostile into Atlas or OffOff. Maybe another Too Big to Fail.

I think this list is pretty good, but I do miss Government Takeover shenanigans.
