Jeeves RP

Jeeves basically seems a straight-up improvement for Mental Health Clinics, so why not slot him in? He allows for never-advance plays on Niseis and CST, and single-advance plays on TFP and GFI. Having an extra click after a Celebrity Gift-Hedge Fund turn is also pretty great. The constraint is needing 6 HB cards in your deck, but you were likely already playing some combination of Ash, Ichi 1, and Eli.

This deck goes back to Enhanced Login Protocols, partly to help protect the Jeeves a bit more and partly because it's still good to have a Current these days, especially when people are playing Employee Strike more. Again, this influence could be invested in Eli 1.0 instead of the Bako/Ashigaru. Needs testing.

The deck might fold to well-played Dumblefork decks, so the ice composition could probably still be fiddled with. Ice destruction is always an issue. Magnet instead of Vyper will be a good test when it comes out.

Would you consider 3x tech startup and going to 2 jeeves to get your ice upgraded to Tollbooth and eli1.0

Maybe? Hadn't really considered it. I'm not sure how you free up the influence for Tollbooth, since you need the 6 HB cards to trigger Alliance. Without Alliance I'm not sure it's worth spending the influence on Jeeves here. The Tech Startups seem less useful, since you're not making Jeeves a crucial part of your plan.

What I might do is drop an Ashigaru and the ELP to add two Eli and a Cerebral Static. Stays correct on influence counts.
