Opponent on Jinteki PE on match point, possibly threatening a win next turn. I'm at 5 on Deep Dive Phoenix Esâ, zero credits, five clicks due to a Synthgland, also Bankhar, Ghosttongue, Num, Buffer Drive. Opponent hasn't caught up to the Deep Dive, just Tatu-Bola on HQ, "just" Anansi on R&D. Three cards in hand to my four. Two face-down cards in Archives, no ice. It's go or die. I go.
Bankhar on HQ. Click: Raindrops on HQ, get through Tatu-Bola for 1 damage, no hit but doesn't matter, Tatu-Bola swaps but also doesn't matter, get 3 credits 1 card. Four cards in hand. Click two: run R&D, use Num to break just the 1 damage going down to 1 credit, take 3, no hit, go to 1 card in hand. Click three: run Archives, grab a Regenesis, down to zero cards in hand but still alive. Pop the Buffer Drive for Deep Dive, click four: draw, click five: spend the last credit to Deep Dive, find the last Fuiji for the win.
this was not good play, this was truly yolo-land — if there was a Fuiji in the top five cards and I wasn't on five agenda points, oppo could've put it on top with the Anansi subroutine for lethal. at any point the math could've broken bad on damage in hand. it was less good play and more like, desperate harm reduction to stop from taking the one point of damage that really counts.
