We have a growing Android:Netrunner scene at Critical Hit Games in Iowa City. We had about a dozen this week, and hope to see more every Monday night starting at 5:30. Believe me, the game lives up to the hype. Because the game is asymmetrical, if you show up with no cards, a single player can teach/play you with their own decks. Stop by and see the new hotness. It lives up to the hype. (redundancy intended)↧

As they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. Just means I need to work harder.What prompted me to build this to begin with were real life events in which it would have been useful (PAX East 2014 tournament springs to mind, with people coming and going all throughout the day), but it is important to remember other realistic scenarios. Thankfully I designed it with some frameworks in mind that should meet those needs as well.
Honestly, thanks for the feedback.

Swordsman doesn't look like a big problem -- Parasite works just fine for that.

I do not agree completely with your post. I see the idea of binary ICE (if they have the breaker they will go with 1 credit), but your composition i.s not exactly that. Tollbooth, Archer, and grim are not binary ice at all. If you want to go that way try paperwall, and similar stuff.

I like it overall...however, you may find yourself choked with too much draw. Test it and see if Jackson would be better at 2x or less. Anonymous Tip is almost certainly overkill.

IMHO, Anon Tip and Corp Shuffle should be cut in favor of econ assets, that will either get you some econ, or make the runner (yes, even whizzard) waste time running and trashing.
I see merit in that, and that certainly seems like a really good way to play this identity, but it isn't really what I'm trying to do. The goal of the deck (as stated above, but not in my OP; apologies) it to leverage excessive draw into a quick win.
NEH might not be the best identity ability for this, but it does have the most influence of the three and can still rock some strong ICE while running a full suite of Biotic Labors.
That said I could take out 1 each of the following and TWIY might work: Corporate War, Rototurret, Biotic Labor, Jackson or Corporate Shuffle, and SanSan City Grid. But, is that the better deck?
This deck also looks light on ice to me, with only 8 pieces of ice that you can rez on the first turn without assistance, and in my experience Chimera is dangerous. I LOVE it when I find a server guarded by chimera as the runner.

I've seen little of that hate. In fact, I had to look those up. I'm the only one I have seen running this kind of thing. But it isn't broken enough to warp the meta around it here.
The usual kit is an Atman set big (Often 6; Archer is super-popular; seems like I see it every matchup), a Darwin grown small, and some combination of Datasucker and Parasite.
I had some decks in here, but found the re-usable cash and the armor more consistently useful.
The problem I run into most often is advance-able ice. Though I just tore up a GRNDL deck that was running a lot of that, so I guess it's not so bad.
I'm putting it out here so someone who really knows what they are doing can take it for a spin. I'm only having a lot of fun with it, not winning tournaments.
Good questions though. Thanks for asking an making me think.

I know it was already kind of stated before, but I believe Knight really is the best AI for the type of role you are talking about. It is cheap, high strength, and plenty efficient enough for single-sub ICE. Even with spending clicks to move it, it is still super good.
Crypsis and Atman are the only other two I'd really even consider as 'support AI', and only if Datasucker was in the deck too. Crypsis is just horribly inefficient otherwise, and Atman is less useful than it used to be because there is more good ICE at variable strengths.
Other AI I think have to be built around too much. Even Overmind, which is very, very good but requires a recycling mechanism or massive gobs of memory to really shine.

So, I've been considering adding additional chances for Ice to show up in front of R&D by changing the rolled die this::d6-2: Putthe top card of the Ice deck facedown and sideways above HQ or R&D, whichever has the least Ice deck cards above it at the time. If tied, the Runner may choose where the new card is placed.
But as far as too many cards going into HQ that is ENTIRELY intentional as this forces cards into Archives, making that a viable hiding place for the AI's Agendas.

Gotta agree to disagree about Lamprey. I have two to three in my Reina Siphon recursion deck. Generally I want my opponent to purge!
This, I think, is where Lamprey (and the upcoming "tick" virus [Ixodidae?]) are going to shine. I've played an (assumed early iteration) of Nords' Noise deck and can heartily agree they're useful as 1-cred mills. However, I believe the card is designed to force the Corp into "lose-lose" scenarios (do I purge to get rid of them [and nothing else] and give the Runner a free turn, or keep getting bled dry while I try and shore up HQ).
Incidently, I feel the same about Cyber Threat and Nasir. Unfortunately for me I haven't yet solved the riddle of any of these three cards :yuk:

Just a minor correction:Captain_Frisk wrote:
Question 2: It's per use of breaker.
So -
click through Eli: 2 clicks
corroder through Eli: $4 for eli + 2 for midway
Morningstar through Eli: $1 for morningstar + $1 for midway
Yog through Yagura: $0 for 2 uses of Yog + $2 for 2 uses of midway.
The first one is wrong. If you click through Eli you do not use icebreakers, hence you do not pay anything.
Second one should say 4$ for Corroder instead of 4 for eli, but the cost is correct.

Do the Easy Marks and Infiltrations do a lot of heavy lifting? Do you deploy more than one Atman? One idea would be to drop down to one Atman and pick up some copies of Self-Modifying Code, 2x or 3x depending on how much influence you free up.This deck looks like a ton of fun, I am going to take it out for a spin. I am always on the lookout for interesting Anarch decks.
The inclusion of Atman is really cool, since it negates Darwin's biggest drawbacks. I will probably drop the Infiltrations for a few Imps, and find the room to run Grimoire.

I never saw anyone run plascretes except for me, and I never needed them. Another thing I forgot to mention was I had one NBN win. Against the other Andy player (who was the tournament organizer and travels the country playing in big tournaments) he ran on my one Junebug in the entire deck. He had three cards and I did 4 damage. He was completely off-guard. After he got over being pissed at his mistake he later told me throwing that in my deck was "cute" and he loved the fact that we had new players, such as myself, to really shake up tournaments.
Therefore, maybe a damage NBN could be effective. They really wouldn't see it coming. Honestly though, I don't think anyone was running plascretes.

Heh, was it as condescending as you make it sound?
Yes, it was! lol! He was honestly happy new players were shaking it up. You'd have to imagine someone traveling the country doing tournaments would want to see different decks and strategies.

Thanks, much appreciated.In theory the seed function matches people of similar seed value for the first round and first round only. So people with seed 1 will be paired with other seed 1's first if possible, before being paired with seed 0's. But that's probably not clear from the interface nor is it quite 'preliminary group'.

How do you plan to have MU for Torch, Magnum Opus, Omega and Paintbursh? or even half of those..?
EDIT: Remember, this is Kitt. One or two breakers with a Brush and she's amazing. Backed up by Tinker twice so.
Allow me to repeat: 12 plays in. :) The goal is to have Torch, Omega and Paintbrush. Long before the Brush is necessary you can have SMC or MO out. That's 4 MU's for anyone keeping score.
Also, just in case you're up against Jinteki the Deus is there for the odd situation. Also, also, floating a Test Run allows you to trash a program, bring it back, them Oracle it for cash or Eureka it back in cheaply.
I was kind of hoping someone would have suggestions on what I asked about, which was the tag threat, and what I might be able to do about it; if anything, which I'm not entirely sure you can with this build.

Thanks for posting this build as it encouraged me to post my Kitt Motivation build.So, as someone who's running heavy resources:
How have you done against tag-heavy decks?
A friend of mine went up against a tag-me deck at regionals using Fall Guy and man did he have a tough time against it. I was thinking that it could be my solution against tags to a degree, but I'm just afraid of having to work in three of them.
