This is a deck I use to teach new players. I use this breaker suite, as to not complicate the process. They all pump and break for one cred and show each kind of breaker – including AI. I find Gabe’s ability to be pretty straightforward for teaching.

Hey again, commenting on this for completion:

As a crim player, I find it pretty important to teach combos regarding:

  • Emergency Shutdown
  • Sneakdoor Beta
  • Datasucker + Ninja/Mimic interaction
  • R&D locks (RDI instead of Maker's Eye)
  • Bank Job
  • Account Siphon!!! (A sort of complicated, but very important lesson for both players to learn about)
  • Hostage (because the art features Thomas Haas, the most important person in the A:NR universe)

Also, I notice that your runner teaching deck runs plascrete but the Weyland teaching deck doesn't run meat damage - Mind games!

@Thomas Haas Thanks for the input. I really try to keep teaching decks EXTREMELY simple. My focus in this version is not to teach strategy, or even care if they win, but what cards do and the basics of Icebreakers.

This deck is what I use for the first half dozen or so games & then we move on to a version 2.0 and then version 3.0.

These two decks have successfully taught many new players. I have found that too many teachers overwhelm new players with combos, and "how to win" instead of just explaining the card basics.

I published this deck, so a FB friend could find it. =)

Finally, the version 2.0 of this deck does have Emergency Shutdown / Account Siphon / Sneak Door + better breakers.

I put Plascrete in the deck, so that this deck could be used to play other decks besides the Weyland teaching deck.
