A 9/6 agenda looks rather awkward and very difficult to score.

Yet it can be considered for workarounds:

• A 6 point agenda in a deck makes it lean. In a 49 card Weyland deck, it is possible to play with only 6 agendas. Adding Jackson, Architect, Fast Track, Atlas and Archived Memories, it might be possible to avoid this card all game long.

• Card can be hosted on a scored Glenn Station - after a fast track - and then simply forgotten for the whole duration of the game. It would then be hard to score or steal points.

• You can install and continuously advance it until it gets stolen. The turn after, play a Punitive Counterstrike.

• A good companion to the Off the Grid / Crisium Grid combo. Prestige matters.

• With a scored Utopia Fragment it is not that easy to steal indeed.

Now let's be less serious... this one's for you, Timmy:

• How can it be scored from hand:

  • with an installed SanSan City Grid + 3 Trick of Light + 3 Biotic Labor (overscored Atlas required)... err... that makes 20 influence ! Draft pack

  • If you are super rich, you can gets many clicks with this unplayable combo:

    • Play 3 x Biotic Labor
    • Recur them with a Reclamation Order
    • Play 3 x Biotic Labor again
    • Recur them with a second Reclamation Order
    • Play 3 x Biotic Labor
    • Recur them with a third Reclamation Order
    • Play 3 x Biotic Labor You have 9 more clicks - one is missing, and Archived Memories won't help - and 51 less credits.

Its ability "3 credits for a click" is bonkers but... I doubt it gets competitive. The definitive Timmy agenda, in my humble opinion.

So I've actually tried this agenda out and you no what it wins games (not necessarily the corp tho).

The obvious way is Punitive Counterstrike they steal it you punitive you win easy amusing they haven't gotten another point somewhere.

You could also Psychographics it out always nice. But it really shines just because it exists you put a trap out and they don't go for it well keep putting em on till its at 6 suddenly they can't ignore it, what do they do run it a possibly die or ignore it and possibly give you 6 points.

Having one of these in your deck is fun too, the feeling of knowing that its their the feeling of just leaving it out their and advancing it away knowing you have at least 1 Punitive Counterstrike in hand that's a good feeling. (I suggest trying it in a deck at a meetup or with someone else you play regular)

Almost impossible to score even with combo's

With The Red Sands cycle coming along, we have 2 surprisingly reliable ways to score this bad boy. The first way is hella fun but requires lady luck to be on your side. The Combo is:

NOTE: REQUIRES Jemison Astronautics: Sacrifice. Audacity. Success.

2 Scored False Lead and a Hostile Takeover(Optional) also scored. On your turn, IAA Government Takeover and pass the turn. Then before any #Shenanigans happen, Sacrifice both False Leads to place 4 counters on the Takeover, as well as skipping the runner's WHOLE turn! Next AAA your way to victory! This combo is really neat and can't be played around by Clot like a Ramp Jemison deck. It has a lot of moving pieces though, and if the GT or more than 1 False Lead are stolen, you're out of luck. The second combo is interesting as well. It involves the upcoming card Red Planet Couriers.

The Combo: Jemison not required

Hostile TakeoverTakeover scored(Optional). Then you need a card with 9(!) advancement tokens on it. I'd reccomend a trap like Project Junebug, Ghost Branch, or Cerebral Overwriter. Dedication Ceremony is great here, and use Shell Corporation for maximum hilarity. Of course you could also use a piece of ICE, but those are vulnerable to trashing. Then you install Government Takeover and hope it survives the night. Alternatively you could Biotic Labor or Accelerated Diagnostics this thing, but it's a lot of influence. Then you play Red Planet Couriers and you win! Great work everybody! Pop out the champagne!

What about scoring a Hostile Takeover 1 turn. Tutor it up with Fast Track let them steal Government Takeover and either Punitive Counterstrike their face, or get them tagged through Shadow or Data Raven or Hard-Hitting News or SEA Source or whatever other means. Then Exchange of Information it away from them, swapping Hostile Takeover or any other 3/1. Jam another Hostile Takeover, and ask why even bother in the first place. Some Hive, Vanilla, Enigma, or Mother Goddess to keep them from getting anything from R&D or HQ too early.

If they do heavy tagging might also just mean a nice BOOM! opportunity. A Ghost Branch would help facilitate this.

Now, this card became much viable then when it just release, some combos worth adding in include:

• In the deck Because BWBI, the combo Because We Built It -> Advance Some Ice -> Install Government Takeover -> Biotic Labor -> Red Planet Couriers can fast advance it.
• In the deck Nixon Speedrun, the combo Casting Call -> Install Government Takeover -> Dedication Ceremony x2 can work behind an ice. Though it may be really risky.

Anyway, it seems like the card is becoming more and more useful in decks.

If you think you can get 2 jacksons on the table (without removing any from the game), and 3 accelerated Diagnostics in your hand, this is the agenda for you! Simply Power shutdown your deck, and AD for interns sansan sansan, then for sansan interns and subliminal messaging, and finally for sansan sansan, and whatever operation you think is the coolest remaining.

Yes Timmy! Options!

This is possibly my favorite card in the game. So stupid and clever at the same time. Its effect, practically speaking, is entirely confined to the deckbuilding phase, because you don't score this. Hopefully you don't even see it. Just by its mere existence, it adds intrigue to games where it's not even in the deck. If it IS in your deck, you're gonna sweat bullets, but it's tons of fun. You'll draw it and be like Mr. Bean when he bungles something and tries crazy bullshit to cover up his mistake. Once in awhile, new cards come out and people start looking for elaborate combos to score this again - don't bother. Its function is to simply exist and hopefully not destroy you.

If or when Weyland gets a 40-card ID, this agenda as a 3-of could enable some interesting never-score shenanigans. Yes, they'll only need to steal 2 agendas to win, but you'll have 41 other cards to kill them with before they do. Scoring agendas is for suckers anyway!
