RAM: Purple Sabotage with a Vengeance (NFL S01E01 RAM01)

Red with a splash of blue is purple.

This is actually my first own runner deck that I've built. Before this, I've been netdecking my tournament decks. I used this deck in Netrunner Finland League (NFL) S01E01: Random Access Memories 1. My other tournament deck was Vanilla PD deck.

I didn't have time to test my decks prior to the tournament, so there were certainly many piloting errors. Also, as a player who started only 6 months ago, most of the cards were new to me. I relied maybe a bit too much on the crowdsourced card rankings, choosing power-cards over solidifying the deck's synergetic core.

Since I was pretty confident that I had chosen the best possible corp deck, I wanted to try something else than the shaper bull$'*t which occupied three spots of the top 4 in our tournament. See for example AxWill's Where is the Boat? (1st @ Finnish RAM asynch) deck)

In the end, I couldn't resist trying Esâ Afontov with Clan Vengeance. Alas, in addition to my poor piloting skills, this deck was a bit too slow and/or poor to consistently pressure the corps.

Some thoughts on card choices

• In every game I was either lacking tempo or credits to install and use The Turning Wheel. All my wins were a combination of hard-hitting sabotages and well-timed remote runs.
• You haven't lived until you've Light the Fire!'d a server with Anoetic Void, Jinja City Grid and a winning agenda.
• Aaron Marrón and Fermenter were the deck's MVPs,

For reference, this was our RAM cardpool:

Large sets: Honor and Profit, & System Gateway

Small sets: A Study in Static, Mala Tempora, Kala Ghoda, Business First, The Liberated Mind, Fear the Masses, Intervention, Quorum, Station One, Earth's Scion, Down the White Nile, & Midnight Sun
