"Nature's most raw beauty is the circle: perfect in its continuance, with no break between death and life."

There is no good way to score, there is only many ways to score.

The ice is intentionally bad, because the game is on the remotes.

You are not really protecting your self, you want to find scoring windows in how many cards the runner has, how many he can afford to lose (is he setup) and how quick he can draw. So you have to poke and prod with mushin psyfields and 1 adv junebugs, trick of light around, anything really.

Plan B just wins games so often in this deck and in such a fun way that I think its mandatory.

Econ is mediocre but you can afford lots of clicking for credits. Plus when you do most of your tricks you barely need any credits. If you make a fundraiser or click enough, a biotic labor can seriously change the risk factor of any threat in the deck (even NA cards could be a 4/3). Scoring TFP via 5adv plan B is so funny when the runner has 10cards in hands on last click, it has caused a few ragequits :P

Even I can barely read my rambling comment down there, but this is important : "Mindgame is basically the only ice I want, since it can signal a trap on an agenda." This might be obvious (its in the name) but this means that if I can have 1 fire on this I can most likely keep a TOL battery all game or score an agenda. Of course they might also call the bluff (or die). But I brought them there with my hand on their jack saying "nono mr hacker you need to see this! Jacking out is bad for you now!" : better than an offer you can't refuse.

Deck is rough. Needs way more Econ. Would drop all the plan bs and the precogs, and go up to 44 cards, adding a 3rd Trick of Light in. Global Food initiative is a stronger agenda to go with over the future perfect here, would also fit in the deck theme name better. Mind Game is good, but as a 3 of is probably a little much, esp if the money to win psi games isn't there. Crick is a good piece of ice as a 1-of, but you don't really have much in terms of higher impact targets like caprice nisei or Marcus batty to pull from it other than maybe replacing dead ice or a stray Jackson.

My take : Deck is relax. First, precognition is my favorite card in Medtech because its decent enough r&d defense, somewhat helps vs noise and also helps consistency. By relax I mean this deck is meant to go fast either win or lose: which gives time for runner games in tournaments and can be played in a short break. The deck is meant to be resistant to siphon spam by the shear fact that it doesnt really need money. That is reflected by the ice and the whole scoring scheme. Which comes down to plan b, Protein source at 4/3 and mushin no shin/biotic labor. Starting by just jamming Junebugs and Psyfields to read them, Plan B becomes so good with Protein source, mushined + adv can score 3 points at 0 credits if they decide to clear board after siphon (or any time). Mindgame is basically the only ice I want, since it can signal a trap on an agenda. Crick to bring back a junebug for TOL battery is fine too, even a TFP. The original version had all the psi ices and only that, it managed to do enough psygames anyways. Going to 44 for more econ and ice is probably a good idea. Again i see this deck as very zen, like tai-chi, where you dance with the other player with as many very annoying choices early, if you can ramp up to match point every mushin+adv(or biotic adv+adv) is your method of taxation or cheeky wins. Plus jinteki has a way better plan for cheap food, you make a shady recycling plant and any runners snooping in can give donations for the kids.

Also kakugo is for HQ(criminals) or R&D(shappers) . Cobra is mostly never rezzed like Cortex lock but if it can fire and slow them it might be worth it (probably not vs anarchs).

Replacing jacksons(or something) for Global Foods is a good idea too :) ty.
