Iceless Protocol

Diogene 4247

Bluff your way to victory or flatline the runner.

This is the second iceless, this time with Jinteki, after Iceless Audacity (Weyland). HB and NBN will come soon enough.

Mulligan plan : you want 1 or 2 cards that gives you creds OR you have more than one agenda in hand.

Winning condition : score out by bluffing assets and agendas with one counter. Using Seamless Launch or Trick of Light, you can score a 3 points agenda on the next turn. If the runner get one of the 3 points agendas, you have a good chance of being able to use Punitive Counterstrike. Either you set it up with Bacterial Programming (get the correct cards in hand) or have it easy with Obokata Protocol.

NGO Front and Urtica Cipher can be used to create "batteries" for Trick of Light. Space Camp will help you there by "polluting" centrals. It could even help you score!

The main econ of the deck is Mwanza City Grid. This is a big risk, big reward kind of thing. If they use Stargate, you have Hokusai Grid to slow the runner a bit.

It is fun to play. If the runner does not recognize the iceless archetype and start their setup for breaking jinteki ices, then it becomes much easier.

Saraswati Mnemonics: Endless Exploration click compression allow the deck to be fairly fast. Here is a trick : put Rashida Jaheem on the board with a counter on it from Saraswati Mnemonics: Endless Exploration. This will fake a possible trap. And if the runner see that fake, then they run everything, allowing you to setup a Urtica Cipher to punish and confuse them.

Enjoy!
