5-0 Ampere

"That's a nice hand you've got there. Let's splice some ⋆⋆⋆⋆ into it." - Ampere

We have a LOT of generically excellent value cards. And a couple of cards that are jokes in their homelands but ready to blow the doors off. Score Jumon, and win. An army of highly efficient ice hide Tyr and Saisen-tan. We're including Meridian for chaos and Nightmare Archives because it is like a good Meridian.

This deck is helluva fun. It's also 5-0 on Jinteki against mostly non-singleton runners with actual identity abilities. Our identity ability is to surprise and bewilder. Lean into it. If you can surprise an unsure runner into letting a double-advanced agenda stand, you have several tools like Seamless Launch and Audacity which can score out the Jumon the next turn. Jumon creates incredible value if scored and it is worth scoring at almost any cost up to and including nuking a loaded HQ with Audacity.

Project Vitruvius is usually a blank 3/2, but Ampere is desperately low on recursion. It might be worth investing into an extra Vitruvius token for recurring Stock Buy-Back and secondarily Ganked or a prematurely trashed Spin Doctor.

Other cards considered

Perhaps Obokata or Blood In the Water over Longevity Serum. In early testing I feel extremely good about Jumon as the highest-priority target in the deck. Possibly swapping out Vitruvius for Ontological Dependence. We are bleak enough on economy and vulnerability to sabotage that Subliminal Messaging might help more than a chaos screen News Team. (We don't run tag punishment, the chaos screen IS the tag punishment).
