RE:Genesis Evangelion 3.0

Hi! First time posting a deck guide. This deck is inspired by a Metropole Grid- LIVE opponent that attempted to score Jumonwith Regenesis, but didn't have enough teeth in archives.

MY SOLUTION: News Team! Does this card give the deck any inherent value? Probably not. Do we run tag punishment? No(t at the moment). But will you scare them into taking -1 agenda points to get this card out of archives? Hopefully! This deck only runs 18 agenda points and with cards like Global Food Initiative and Gene Splicer the road to a conventional 7 for the runner creates odd scoring paradigms. In some games the runner may need to clear your entire agenda suite just to win! Or accept tag after tag.

HOW TO WIN: Build a remote server with Bio Vault and Anoetic Void --> protect archives --> dump Jumon --> score Regenesis --> win the card game If only it were that easy. Once I undergo further playtesting I will build out a more robust pathway of how this deck performs and flounders.

WHERE THIS DECK SUFFERS: News Team! 6/15 influence is steep and with 3/15 going to GFI, we leave little room for BOOM!! Hence, no true tag punishment --> defeating the entire purpose of adding teeth to archives...

UPDATE 09Nov22: This deck has the legitimate concern of decking itself. In other NEWS! The deck does not protect against the dreaded bocce ball, even with a magnet, so I am planning to add in Mavirus and removing a Bio Vault for added archive teeth + a "gotcha Botulus!" run on an infected Chiyashi/Anansi. I am also considering removing DNA Tracker for a run-ending code gate that is less expensive (2nd Magnet??? and replacing a GFI with Obokata Protocol). This deck also can struggle to score out, so replacing the sole NGO Front with a Gene Splicer isn't out of the question.

THANK YOU! This was my first deck write up and I hope it helps even one person have a little more fun on jnet. :)

Love the deck name, this looks super fun with the archives poison. I'm super glad I inspired someone with my janky-as play! I'll post my deck list soon to show what it was actually trying to achieve

That's great to hear! I've been having so much fun playing this deck and the results can be surprisingly effective! Not S Tier, but a respectable performance indeed.

News Team is fantastic. Any deck running that card is worth playing.

Thank you! I also just won a game by cheating out two GFIs with two Regenesai, so the dream is very possible!

Yes! REgenesis score just feels so good!

Cool deck!

As a Jinteki player that also plays News teams here you have some options

a) Retribution. Take down a boat/stargate is cool b) Predictive planogram. If the runner doesn't have a tag is good. If it has is way better c) IP block. Just more annoying with tags

Also consider the option if you fear to deck yourself out to go to 54 cards. You can add some moon pools and one more ice. c)
