My Enemies

Step 1: Hedge fund, Ice HQ, and install Jinja naked (unless you're playing against loup or freedom).
Step 2: Draw a Gatekeeper (or any ETR ice that doesn't make you broke to rez), free install using Jinja.
Step 3: Jam in a Rashida.
Step 4: Rashida builds your fortress from Jinja installs.
Step 5: Restore, Corp Hosp, or score an agenda to pull back the rashida.
Step 6: Spam rashida and YDL for money.
Step 7: Jinja HQ and RND to balance out ice between all servers. manually ice if needed to distribute ice in a "staircase" shape. Server 1 > HQ > RND > Archives. Make sure you guard HQ more if needed against criminal and loup.
Step 8: Spin back in those Ikawas and find your Haloman and offworld offices.
Step 9: Score Offworld with Haloman (ideally), and use the last click to jam another offworld or recure rashida to install.
Step 10: Win off an Ikawa (Haloman it off 1 turn or 2x seamless).

Tips:
1) Manage your Econ. Your ice is expensive, weigh in the cost/benefits to rezing ice if you're not rich yet. 2) Many recusion oppertunities allows you to prioritize pulling back the cards you need. If you're against criminal, perhaps money should be recured more. If there is an oppening to jam rashida, pull her back. If you have 0 clicks left, almost always pull back corp hosp, you can pull back whatever you want next turn and get 2 for 1.
3) don't be afraid to leave jinja naked. If they trash it, you have 2 other copies and recursion. Remember that the runner spending a click and 5 credits is a bad for them. But beware of imp and miss bones.
4) Don't be afraid of losing out a some ice in your hand, you need to ice out your centrals anyways. Jinja will populate your server 1 in due time, and you do not want all your ice to be in server 1 and nothing on your centrals. ICE YOUR CENTRALS.
5) You have 13 ice. It's plenty enough. Just make sure you distribute the ice on your centrals. 1 archives + 3 rnd + 4 HQ + 5 on server 1 is plenty to keep any runner out.
6) Ice are better in specific servers. Surveyors in server 1 or hq. Thimble in server 1 or anywhere it is most likely to be rezed with a run, cause you want it restructuring your ice positioning. Never install your 1x drafter in server 1, centrals only. Managram centrals not server 1. I like gatekeeper in archives cause then your ikawas are safe.
7) Manage your decking out potential. It is quite HIGH. I dropped this list down to 44 cards but I actually like the 49 card version.
8) Sacrificed Mavirus for a 3rd Spin Doctor so watch out for viruses and purging manually. 3rd spin will hopefully help you survive decking out.

This Farewell Jinja PD guide offers a solid 10-step strategy to optimize your deck and dominate matches. Managing your economy and ice placement is crucial, especially when playing a deck like Sprunki) game where resource control and resilience matter. The recursive playstyle with Rashida and Jinja assets can keep the pressure on opponents, making your agenda scoring consistent. Remember to balance your ice across servers and adjust based on your opponent’s tactics for the best results.
