I NEED TO RUN OR ELSE MY HEAD WILL EXPLODE

YOU HAVE A SEVERE CASE OF BEING A TENMA PLAYER, AND THERE IS NO CURE

This is my first runner deck I've made, and will most likely be the last. I only played 10 games (50% winrate, but still only 10 games) with it, and despite the fun, especially last game where I decieved the corp that I had Apocalypse, only to reveal I actually had Encore, only to reveal on the Encorn-granted-turn that I actually had Apocalypse and wiped the board, I've come to the conclusion that I don't like playing Runner, and will just stick to Corp (perhaps occasionaly deciding to run again, but mostly sticking to Corp, there's just something about flatlining the runners).

So I'm posting this deck for someone to take inspiration, perhaps someone to fix it and give it over a 50% winrate, or someone to just have a giggle at the deck name.

There's also no denying that the style of this review takes heavy inspiration Can o' Whupass, but I would argue the pure chaos of those 10 games influenced this aswell.

YOU NEED TO RUN OR ELSE YOUR HEAD WILL EXPLODE

Ken "Express" Tenma: Disappeared Clone and Swift This is the core of your deck, the core of your identity (well, it quite literally is), and they will help you. Because you NEED to run. After all, YOUR HEAD WILL EXPLODE IF YOU DON'T RUN! Don't let the Corp take a breather, make them KNOW that you are coming and FEAR what happens to their SERVERS.

THE WAY WE RUN

Bravado will give us more money for running, even if we get our brain fried by the ICE, doesn't matter, KEEP RUNNING

Dirty Laundry will give us money for reaching the server, run it on Archives or unguarded servers (beware ambushes!)

Inside Job See that ICE? FRAG IT! WE DONT CARE! JUST WALK PAST IT! THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING!

Diversion of Funds See that Corp budget? FRAG IT! WE DONT CARE! JUST TAKE IT! THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING!

Overclock Good for paying trash costs, or using your Icebreakers.

Regarding the other events:

Encore we run, might aswell run again!

Deuces Wild wild card, can pay for itself, can give us more cards, can easily remove a tag, allows us to look up the ICE (but then we have to run, and sadly Deuces isnt a Run event, as such Ken "Express" Tenma: Disappeared Clone and Swift don't trigger)

Wildcat Strike Wildcat, not wild card. But in a way it is a wild card, draws us 4 cards or gives us 6 creds. Which is good but we dont decide, so expect the corp to give you the worse option.

Diesel No Diesel? No fire!

Apocalypse See that board state? See that glacier? See those remote servers? FRAG IT! WE DON'T CARE! JUST TRASH EVERYTHING! THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING!

Sure Gamble money, simple as

THE WARE WE RUN

Swift for obvious reasons

Prepaid VoicePAD will pay itself, mostly because we keep using events

Docklands Pass look more into the Corps hand, better chances to grab an agenda (or a Snare! but whatever, who cares, I don't. Live fast, die fast.)

THE RUNNING RESOURCES

Daily Business Show gives us money, its that simple, same with Sure Gamble

Earthrise Hotel draws us cards for free, simple as

OUR PARTNERS IN CRIME

Bankroll WE ARE RUNNING! IT GIVES US MONEY FOR RUNNING! ITS THAT SIMPLE!

Bukhgalter gives us money when we break ICE, it might not be much but its better than nothing.

Cat's Cradle is also simple, it just makes code gates more expensive to rez, can be important at times, but also laughable.

Makler similar to Bukhgalter, use it, get paid for using it.

ALL THESE ICEBREAKERS ARE FAIRLY SIMPLE

YES

We don't need fancy stuff. Ideally we have a lot of creds in the bank from gambling and podcasting, aswell as stealing copper wiring from the corporate servers.

Besides, fancy and strong are usually more expensive, specific or an AI that will get broken/ignored by some ICE.

We just want to RUN and we want to do it ALL THE TIME, NON STOP, DON'T STOP TO BLINK, EAT, SLEEP, NOR THINK

JUST RUN, AND DON'T LOOK BACK.

LIVE IN THE FAST LANE!
