RecklessKat's Standard Runner Cube [6p]

RecklessKat 13

Corp Side

This is a 6 player draft cube designed with some restrictions. I didn't want more than 2 copies per card, in a previous cube I had up to 3 copies of cards and the decks felt slightly too samey. I also want to show off the new stuff so for better or worse new Ids and their consoles get priority (the plan being to update the cube each set release).

Draft the cube however you want but the intention is to draft ids and build a deck using a chosen ids deck minimum but ignoring influence.

What you need beyond the cube:
Each player will get a draft starter set of 3 Sure Gamble/Hedge Fund as well as 3 Mayfly/Send a Message. I wanted players to have a guaranteed amount of economy and in the event the draft goes poorly a legal/functioning deck should still be constructible.
Edit: I'm looking to try out a single copy ofMarjanah, Echelon, and Buzzsaw instead of the 3 mayflies, if you do remove the 3 from the list and add 2 mayfly and 1 atman back into the cube.

Ids to be drafted:
Hoshiko Shiro: Untold Protagonist, Esâ Afontov: Eco-Insurrectionist, Freedom Khumalo: Crypto-Anarchist, René "Loup" Arcemont: Party Animal, Omar Keung: Conspiracy Theorist, Nyusha "Sable" Sintashta: Symphonic Prodigy, 419: Amoral Scammer, Steve Cambridge: Master Grifter, Zahya Sadeghi: Versatile Smuggler, Ken "Express" Tenma: Disappeared Clone, Captain Padma Isbister: Intrepid Explorer, Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman, Akiko Nisei: Head Case, Tāo Salonga: Telepresence Magician, and Ayla "Bios" Rahim: Simulant Specialist for runners.

Asa Group: Security Through Vigilance, Haas-Bioroid: Precision Design, MirrorMorph: Endless Iteration, Sportsmetal: Go Big or Go Home, AgInfusion: New Miracles for a New World, Jinteki: Personal Evolution, Jinteki: Restoring Humanity, Hyoubu Institute: Absolute Clarity, Mti Mwekundu: Life Improved, NBN: Controlling the Message, NBN: Reality Plus, Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center, Pravdivost Consulting: Political Solutions, GameNET: Where Dreams are Real, Ob Superheavy Logistics: Extract. Export. Excel., The Outfit: Family Owned and Operated, Weyland Consortium: Built to Last, and Weyland Consortium: Building a Better World for corps.

Setting up the cube:
The ids should be split between sides and randomly divided up into 6 packs of 4 each. Each player will receive 1 corp id pack and 1 runner id pack.

Then the corp cards are randomized and divided up into 30 packs of 11. You can either fully randomize the cube or seed the packs (2 agendas, 2 assets, 3 ice, 2 operations, 1 upgrade, all the extras randomized and split between the packs). Each player will receive 5 corp card packs.

The runner cards are randomized and divided up into 30 packs of 10. Either fully randomized or seeded (2 events, 1 hardware, 2 resources, 1 ice breaker, 1 program, all extras randomized and split between the packs). Each player will receive 5 runner card packs.

Drafting:
Begin drafting the cube like any standard draft starting with the corp id pack, runner id pack, corp card pack, then runner card pack. Remember to change direction of passing packs each new pack opened up. You could also draft corp id then corp cards before drafting runners if you so choose.

Feel free to make any changes you want to suit your groups taste and please let me know how drafting goes! Warning: I imagine this first iteration won't be anywhere close to balanced. Have fun!
