This deck is a pretty vast improvement over the incredibly silly and fun Biotic Philotic combo. If it isn’t obvious, the combo is score your philotic, then 24/7 to sac an agenda dealing lethal damage on the 4-6 1 pt’ers they’ve stolen. Use classic Jinteki work compression to force out agendas. Almost no ice, basically used to force and install and that’s it. Unlike biotic philotic, you don’t need to let the Philotic sit there in your hand while you wait for them to get up to 4-6 agenda pts. You have a bunch of tricks to FA it, (ToL, Biotic) and the new Future is Now is excellent at finding your combo pieces.

Anyway, I was playing a bunch of this and its tons of fun. Mushin’d has some nuance to your targets. Future is Now is the #1 target, as you can slow roll it until you draw philotic or biotic to pull the piece you need and FA. After that is Philotic if you think they won’t run, but Junebug/Psychic field are next because they’re traps and you can ToL off of them. Profiteering is the best agenda to score early, as it gives you all the money you need. HoK is super strong as well. Basically, try to score set up the philotic score while scoring incidental 1 pt’ers and then find 24/7 and laugh as it basically becomes impossible to score against you with 24/7 into victory. Fetal Ai is in there to free up some deck slots, but you’re always unhappy for them to steal it.
Early game you’re generally weak if they just run every unadvanced remote, as you need to score for you econ a lot of the time. So only keep multi-agenda hands if you also have psychic field (snare+hedge+agenda is also acceptable).
Biggest weak points are getting philotic stolen. Clot is kinda of a pain, as it shutdowns your FA plan so gotta bluff it out the old fashioned way. Recurring Deus X is also a pain unless you can Chronos it. Though you can do double 24/7 to out lethal their number of clonechips. Apex also is basically unbeatable with heartbeat, but we won’t talk about that.
Anyway, not realllllly a competive deck, but its tons of fun and very silly. And isn’t nearly as bad as I’d thought it would be.
