AU Co.: The Gold Standard in Clones
Jinteki Identity: Division
Minimum Deck Size: 45 – Influence: 15
Whenever you do damage or trash 1 or more cards from HQ, place 1 power counter on this identity.
When your turn begins, you may remove 2 hosted power counters to look at the top 3 cards of R&D. Trash 1 of those cards and add the rest to HQ.
5 stars
I’m sorry chat, we’re cooked. We’re so fucking cooked. They printed better Maxx in Jinteki. If you thought drawing 1 additional card every turn was strong, how about drawing 2 additional cards each turn? On top of that, here is every single card that enables AU Co. That’s a lot! That’s some numbers! And you can stockpile counters! And Your Digital Life is only 2 influence! Literally the only way this deck loses is if Jinteki as a faction turns out to not have the tools to play regular Netrunner.
If reg Jinteki becomes a thing, this deck will be at the forefront and it will be terrifying. It might still be terrifying anyways.
Note
The original version of this review mistakenly said that AU Co. trashing 1 of the 3 cards it looks at counts as trashing a card from HQ. It does not. The card is still in R&D when getting trashed. Sorry about that.
