My first legitimate corp deck since I began playing a few weeks ago. I'm trying to tag up the runner and have that work to my advantage. I don't have all the cards I'd like to yet, so I'm working with what I have. Please don't let that stop any suggestions you might have.

@ShawnTM Hard-Hitting News is highly recommended imo it's incredibly powerful in general for landing tags but better in this ID as they need an extra 4credits to remove them all. Id also add 1 more card and dilute the agenda density as much as possible (unless DB is just bugged and not showing a card)

I'd suggest replacing SEA Source with Midseason Replacements or Hard-Hitting News. To get anywhere with Psychographics, you need to sock runners with so many tags that they give up and just keep their tags. If you only deliver 1-2 tags at a time, runners will remove them and then your Psychographics is useless.

I suggest including some non-code gate ICE with an end-the-run subroutine, the better to pair with your Archangel to create a strong gear-check server. For example Archangel-->Vanilla will stop the runner unless there is both a decoder AND a fracter installed (because if they don't break Archangel you bounce any installed fracter back into the grip). That will increase the number of scenarios under which you can realistically score Global Food Initiative.

Finally, I'd consider adding 1x Exchange of Information. This card is powerful with your current setup -- for example, you can drop Breaking News, then on the following turn play advance-->advance-->score-->Exchange of Information to swap BN with a GFI the runner has previously stolen. The runner gains and KEEPS two tags, you score three points instead of one, and the runner has one less point than before. It's a very strong play.

Solid, for being as limited as you are thus far. :)

I like Hard-Hitting News, but not enough to run it over Midseason Replacements. It's only 1 credit less to play than Midseason, only sticks 4 tags on 'em, and your turn ends immediately after you use it...so no further room for shinanegans. With Networking out there, I simply prefer Midseason.

I agree with Pink about diluting your agenda density. Ideally, you want 9 (or 10)...I run with 10 and haven't had any real problems yet. Also, yes, go 44 cards. When you get the opportunity, find a way to slot in Sweeps Week. It's great for A) Siphon recovery, B) early game against Andi, and C) it's an operation, so F Whizzard/Scrubber/Bad pub BS.

I'd go -1 All-Seeing I. Under no circumstances will you ever need more than 2 of those. Agreed on adding an Exchange of Information. That card is SO good. It fits NBN's "tricky" theme. I run 2 in my SYNC deck. If you like, check it out - netrunnerdb.com :)

As far as ICE goes, you definitely want at least 2 Wraparounds if you're gonna run Scorch in a meta that's still somewhat Faust/D4v1d heavy in Anarchs. My Resistors and Booth are there to suck up D4v1d tokens. The sentries are there to make them go "Oh boy. Hmm...do I wanna continue, or...?" When you get them to think like that, you may just have them where ya want them. :)
