Jinteki, what?!

I'm personally not a Jinteki person. I played dB0 a few times when he was testing his Untrashable Deck & thought..."that's kind of annoying/fun".

Made something that fits my style a little more with the release of DOUBLE TIME & there you go! Went 4-1 at a 24 Person tourney. (Whizzard, Andromeda, Reina, Kate, Andromeda)

You want to get your Sundew engine started as soon as possible & start icing up centrals while you shell up. Hokusais help against Central attacks with Encryptions making them more annoying. I'm sure someone else can chime in here that is more of a Jinteki person...I'm looking at YOU db0.

Caprice! Caprice is SO fun. I don't understand the hate here. Maybe because in our meta we all get along great, but the stare-offs as we choose our credits & then laugh about the result is a blast. She was only effective for me in maybe half my games? Sometimes they got her first turn, others they took like 3, only to find a Hokusai waiting for them. & then Interns her back after they paid extra to trash from Encryption! Yeah, kind of annoying...

did scorched ever do anything for you?

Yeah, actually. Scorched out the first guy & dug deep for it on the last game & it would have. Not really sure if it was the best call, but a lot of people will float tags against RP so it can be a nice little surprise. Feel free to tinker away with this thing, this tourney is the only time I've actually tested it. I will say is SUNDEW is key to getting started early.

I'd be very tempted to swap one Tollbooth for a Tsurugi, just to fit in an Archived Memories, to have the option of double-scorching someone :p

That could be fun. Thought about putting in Shinobi for fun too, but BP is not good for this deck. Thing about Scorch too is other than the Snares you don't really have any way to tag the runner.
