Mindscaping, aka. “Jinteki-Level Clearance”, aka. “Low-Profile Target”.

For example, if the Runner floated a pair of tags (such as from Phoneutria and Snare!, or from their own Eru Ayase-Pessoa and Hannah "Wheels" Pilintra), Mindscaping will Do 2 net damage. However, even if they've floated infinite tags (such as for Counter Surveillance), you'll still need two Mindscaping to flatline them (Do 3 net damage. Do 2 net damage.).

Otherwise, Mindscaping can simply net +$2 and “+0c” (nb. most cards net -1 card when played), with some selection and manipulation. For example, you can en-Snare! R&D. Or you can just top an agenda from HQ (if R&D is better protected, or if you have a shuffling effect, or so on). You can top an (untrashable) ice to shield against R&D breaches (or to slow down multiaccess, milling, and so on).

Design: I love the loosening and spreading out of tag-punishment. Mindscaping is tag-scaling (punishing “float two” more than “float one”), but proportionate (1 damage-per-tag) and upper-bounded (to 3 tags). Mindscaping:

• is tag-scaling (punishing “float two” more than “float one”), but proportionate (1 damage-per-tag) and upper-bounded (to 3 tags).
• has a “hedge mode” (an unconditional, but small, effect) and “hate mode” (a large, but conditional, effect).

I also like Jinteki's heritage/sermon effects (ie. Draw X cards. Add 1 card from HQ to the top of R&D.), both the decision making (“What should I put back?”) and the mind games (“What will the Runner think I put back?”).

With Mindscaping, a Jinteki Corp can punish a tagged Runner without splashing (End of the Line, et cetera); cf. Hypoxia.

Compare:

• Reverse Infection: the original Jinteki modal with a (minor) econ mode and a (major) hate mode.
• Green Level Clearance: also nets a card and two credits.
• Neurospike: can also cleanly Do 3 net damage.

Flavor: The more Jinteki knows about you, more they can “landscape” your mind, into a flatlineable neuro-topiary (like Caprice Nisei with her bonsai tree).

Jinteki has two ices, one asset and one agenda that can tag the runner. Which means the if you intended to use the second clause of the card, you'll need either to import cards from other factions, or to use this card out of faction.

Otherwise, it is equivalent to use Red Level Clearance with no option but with the ability to put something on the top of R&D. That part slows you down, but can also make the runner wary of running R&D.

Otherwise, this combine well with tag storm decks (Oppo Research, etc.) and will allow you to do 5 damages, if played along End of the Line and Public Trail.

Art, quote and name go fairly well all together, making the card easily recognizable, thanks to the gray person in the center. Well done!
