I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That! (4th @ Naarm Districts)

HaverOfFun 920

Jnet has already rotated standard but when you’re reminiscing about Ag, Anansi, BacPro or Sadaka, chuck on Cypress Hill’s banger I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That!

Until we meet again

This is a sick deck! I took ruben’s World’s 2024 Ag but swapped out the 2 Vampys for 2 Anansis cause I expected a lot of turbine people to try and get their last few games in before it gets banned when Elevation becomes tournament legal (also cause I just love the card). I doubt any matchup information is helpful cause half this deck is rotating but it’s for sure a fun one to just send out for a casual game!

I only started playing 2 years ago but have been playing Anansi and BacPro ever since. Both out of AgInfusion and Restoring Humanity they have been incredible cards and with the addition of Sadaka round out the FFG Jinteki sees the future of R&D cycle that I love to bits!

Bacterial Programming

Bacterial Programming allowing you to play a combo kill deck using punitive counterstrike and feeding a second 5/3 when they steal the first into archives was a huge blast and the first deck I ever really grinded. The fact BacPro was also a big part of the earlier Keeling Ag decks to essentially make sure the runner wouldn’t be able to steal an agenda to win on points before Keeling got the better of them was also a fun and different use. More useful for this deck I played is the fact that scoring a BacPro with a spare click into finding a 4/2 off the top of R&D and installing it to win the next turn is also mega hype!

Anansi

Anansi is scary from the card art to the actual rules text. There is no cheating the cost unless the runner pays the fair price. Bypass, Bankhar and Boomerang are all unhappy to face this and no other ice is really talked about with the fear and respect as much as a facecheck with the dreaded spider god Anansi.

Sadaka

Sadaka is a recent addition to my list of favourite cards but has almost become my top one! It's just a super nifty panic trap ice on R&D to keep it safe for another two turns, it removes key resources with few ways for the runner to prevent it and is almost always a surprise!

Oh snaaaaap congrats on the finish!!

Best real jinteki moment I ever had was when my Mumbad Grail Palana got me my first ever event win with the highlight being getting a flatline with Galahad.

Nice run! Sadaka is such a solid piece of ice, really sad it will be gone. Glad the Holo Man worked out! Still not sure whether it's the right include or not. But after having switched it out again, and having difficulties finding my la costas recently, I'm starting to look back at it again

@Council Thanks for being a my key Jinteki mentor! Without you I defs wouldn’t have discovered the Surveyor A Teia which is always a huge blast to play!!!

@rubenpieters Yeah I agree, the Holo Man is a huge surprise when people expect La Costa and was also very helpful for me when I’m worried about goung to time!

It has been my absolute pleasure. You're an amazing person. :)


Memories...

There are too many to name but here is one I am rather fond of. I had forgotten all about it until Kikai told me what had happened.

Stevenage, UK Nationals 2019

We faced off in swiss aroud midday, he on 419, me on Matuszczak's Mushin PE. As I was told later, Kikai had heretofore only played newer players on PE, who tended to be a wreck of nerves when facing off against experienced players. So when he looked up from to board, and saw me smiling, a sensation of pure terror overcame him. 'Why is the PE player smiling?' He didn't last much longer after that.

Simple. I was having fun. :)
