So if I understand this correctly, this identity essentially forces the runner to make a run. If he doesn't run or fails to successfully run, you gain the advancement token. Will be interesting to see it in play.
and it has been confirmed that you can add these tokens to ANY card not just advancible ones. You can add the token to desperado and take them off later with trick of light. great way to store tokens. If you put it on a server with neotokyo grid you also gain 1 credit on top of the free token.
I don't think it will ever be a competitive model, but this may be able to synergize with some of the Weyland ice that otherwise cannot be advanced until rezzed. This card may actually allow a corp to surprise the runner with those ice which might make for a fun change.

What I was talking about was ice that cannot be advanced until rezzed (like Woodcutter). Bringing those in with Tennin Institute is just too little gain for too much influence in my opinion. That said, this is clearly an exceptional deck and Ice Wall is a great include for its purposes.

So can you place this advancement token on a scored Nisei MK II and then use it to end the run? Same goes for Brain's Trust. Lower the cost of rezzing ice by one each turn? Heck yeah!

Advancement Tokens and Agenda Counters are not the same thing.

Can I place an adv. token on Tennin using its ability and then remove it with Trick of Light to place it in an agenda or asset?

You can place the token on any card, even Runner cards, then use Trick of Light to move up to 2 of those onto any other card that can be advanced (ICE, Agenda, Asset).

 

Keep in mind that it's an advancement token, not a hosted counter, etc.
