"smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast"

- Ace Rimmer late 22nd century

My first Runner deck!! edited after testing

I've only been playing Net runner now for just over a month and as such my card pool is slightly limited but don't let that stop you from making suggestions for better cards/data packs to get.

Ok so lets get stuck in!!

Ele "Smoke" Scovak: Cynosure of the Net Why Smoke? Easy Stealth and recurring credits my main motivation behind this deck, to help back this plan up I'm using 2x Cloak for more stealth credits during a run and 2x Sahasrara to help install the breakers and other programs.

For breakers I'm going the full suite of shaper Stealth breakers with 1x Blackstone for barriers, 1x Dagger for sentries, 1x Houdini for code gates and last but not least 2x Dai V AI breaker as an all round catch all. Running light on breakers so I've put in the usual tutor cards in the form of 2X Self-modifying Code so I can pull out the breaker I need during a run and of course 2x Clone Chip for when/if they end up in the bin oh also I have 2x Test Run which I'm not sure of right now but I've had good results with in the past.

The deck functions quite nicely but is quite memory heavy due to the amount of programs required to make you rig efficient to address this I've included 3x Omni-drive which can not only host all the programs in the deck with the exception of Self-modifying Code but also adds to the recurring credit theme.

Economy is a little light on the ground at the moment with only 3x Freelance Coding Contract and 3x Technical Writer which I feel plays well with the high number of hardware and program cards in the deck, I'm considering Net Mercur which should fit the stealth theme nicely. I've also included 3x Deuces Wild to help with the economy as well as the other bits and bobs that card helps with. The recurring credits should help but I still feel I may need something else just not sure what right now.

Most of the corporation decks my friends play are mainly flat line and tag decks in differing variations so I've included a few cards to help me get through that, good old 1x Plascrete Carapace for meat damage, 1x Feedback Filter for net and brain damage. Tag wise and as I don't want to lose my critically important Technical Writer and other resource cards I have a few ways to deal with tags by increasing link with help of 2x Sports Hopper which doubles up as card draw in case of being hit hard, 2x The Helpful AI which doubles up to 1 time boost a breaker and my console of choice for this deck 3x Forger which can be trashed to avoid a tag the link can not help with. of course I also have the 3x Deuces Wild to help ditch tags as well.

I've taken out.

3x Freelance Coding Contract never played it during testing and was never happy to see it either.

1x Levy AR Lab Access only really needed this a couple of games and not in multiples.

2x Dai V used it a couple of times and may put it back in later but for now its out as credits are tight.

Adding in.

1x Clone Chip seeing as I've dropped to 3 breakers I'm kind of relying on these now.

1x Cloak bringing me up to 3 need all the stealth credits I can get.

3x Net Mercur kind of speaks for itself really I need credits and from talking to other players this is quite solid as far as stealth goes anyway.

been playing with this deck over the last few days being going well much better econ now with 3x Net Mercur in the deck. didn't miss Dai V or Freelance Coding Contract at all.

My biggest lost was against SYNC: Everything, Everywhere tag deck it kept my resources of the table so no real credits to make my boost link versus tags work or though Forger and Deuces Wild work as expected need a rethink of tag avoidance.
