Winteki

My take on the new ID for Jinteki! Chairman Hiro with a Self-Destruct on it will make the runner take a chance on running on that remote then BAM rez and use Self-Destruct to punish the runner. Either or, you are making the Runner kind of mad.

Power Shutdown seems really good with this ID.

any comments or suggestions welcome!

maybe a single Hero and 1 or 2 EBC? -1 Hiro -1 Herrings +2 Executive Boot Camp.

What's the win condition of this deck?

Doesn't Mental Health Clinic make Chairman Hiro kind of pointless?

If you can't damage the runner or give them brain damage, hiro essentially doesn't do anything. Especially with MHC. I'd cut him.

As long as we're not afraid of assets that score the Runner agenda points, why not Director Haas? I know that's a cumbersome amount of influence, but, hey! An extra click each turn! Just for you!

I agree with a few of the other posters that if this deck is trying to flatline the runner, then I'd replace the MHC. They could become Shell Corps (another upgrade to help with the Self-Destruct trace) or good ole fashioned PAD Campaigns.

But I also agree with @coyotemoon722 that I'm not sure if this deck has a clear win condition. The Hiro/Self-Destruct combo only works if you have some Neural EMPs in hand to finish them (or some similar shenanigan).

I just want to say thanks to all who have commented and gave me some helpful advise! I didn't really see anyone post anything spectacular for this ID yet and just tried to make something flashy in a small amount of time and with little sleep!

I really didn't know exactly how well this ID works and wondered if killing the runner with this ID was even worth it. I feel like PE is better at that than this one.

@Oisin I was thinking about a mixture of a flatline and just a regular scoring one. After talking with my friend Zach Cavis, he questioned a lot that many have posted as the intention of the win con. I know I wanted a sort of flatline deck that worked in Shock!s and Power Shutdownto make trashing anything hard. And Chairman Hiro and Self-destruct would force a runner to make a run there for a lose/lose type of deal. I also thought about Ash 2X3ZB9CY in here to making it impossible to trash.

If you want to take a slightly less net-damage style win-con (to try and differentiate from PE/RP/etc) how about a singleton Off the Grid with singleton Crisium Grid?

If you've just taxed the runner heavily by self-destructing a server (and then by your ID increased the trash cost of everything considerably) slapping these 2 down might be a great way to create an impenetrable lock-out. Bit combo-ey but hey it's just an idea. The influence could come from removing J-Hows (shock horror!) as you generally want things to stay in the trash.
