Step 1: Establish political agenda. —
This is fair. I will make the corrections. —

This card is made for Tennin Institute: The Secrets Within.

As Tennin Institute: The Secrets Within, your ability basically makes it so that you can score 4/2 agendas as 3/2 agendas after installing once, face down on the board. So now, with the release of Improved Protein Source you can rush out a 4/3 agenda!

Because you could potentially win after scoring another 4/3 (because of "Clones are not People") the runner has to check that one remote, or run more aggressively (have successful runs) after you install anything new in there that isn't an upgrade if they don't want to lose. And that's when you put your Snare! in the remote server.

If they're being aggressive and can get into (like archives for some reason). You can still win without your ability with an unadvanced improved protein source if you have two advancement counters and Trick of Light at that point as well.

I really really really want to play this card out of Tennin but I am just not brave enough to play a 3-pointer that not only doesn't protect itself but actively sabotages you. —
