Upgrade Your Genome

ShinGensou 9

This is straight-up fast advance out of Jinteki with no Trick of Light in sight. Draw aggressively with and without Jackson to keep your face-down archives stacked, and your cards unpalatable to trash. Caprice and Hokusai Grid discourage runs on centrals while you score your 2-pointers off your SanSans. Get those Interns to re-install your upgrades as needed!

IG FA with SanSan is really strong. The problem I had playing my version of this deck was how long games ended up taking while I worked through the deck to get agendas. How long are your games on average with this deck?

Also, what was the decision to go to 51 cards? If you remove TFP and 1 other card you'd be at the right agenda-to-card ratio.

Oops! My mistake. I didn't account for the 3 Shi.Kyūs which are also in here. I'm going to fix that and then re-publish.

I think I agree with your assessment on the slowness of the deck. Yesterday I was digging for the Medical Breakthrough that would let me win, and it was literally the last card in the deck. Even on average it takes a long time to get set up, and consistently drawing agendas during those scoring windows can be tough.

Maybe there's room for Fast Track in here somewhere? I'm not sure what I'd cut...
