Adam - The First Runner

Anubuss 7

DIRECTIVES: 1 Always Be Running 2 Safety First 3 Neutralize All Threats Alt 3 Find The Truth, in case of a slow play match up.

Part training deck, part avenue of play experiment.

The primary purpose of the deck is Runner skill refinement. But I found I have gotten onto a habit of spending a few turns to focus on economy, then start running. This deck will force me to kick that.

I feel like I need to add some tutoring into the deck for my Breakers. Probably Career Fair and a copy of MKultra for the influence for it/space. Fair is really just there to save a couple of credits for installing Public Sympathy and Daily Casts.

Pawnshop should be seeing MKultra 90% of the time, but it also nabs spare change grom directives once I draw a replacement as well as bonus credits from other econemy resources.

I would like to try to get this deck up to tournament playable, which is why I turn to the world for updates on how to get there. With this as a starting point, I should be able to learn enough tips and tricks to convert my other casual builds when desired.

Hi, Unfortunately (or, fortunately) rotation happened. Coroder has actually been removed from the cardpool: images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com

Also, there is no benefit to including extra copies of your directives in your deck, as you start the game with your chosen directives already installed, unless you’re playing a card like independent thinking that is.

Extra directives are replacements, for the event the Corp trashes them, or I sell the one installed to Pawnshop. Pawnshop + spares read as Click: gain 3 credits. Not bad economy, and it help keep a stream of new cards coming in via Safety First.

Too bad about Corroder. Guess I need another efficent 1 MU Fracter.

How about Snowball or Paperclip? Paperclip likes Pawnshop though losses me 1 credit so MKultra is still ideal. Snowball benifits if multiple barriers are thrown up.

I hadn't noticed the Aesop's interaction there. Not bad actually. Multi-purpose easy marks, nice.

Paperclip is near-unanimously considered the best fracter in the game. Generally you need a very good reason NOT to run it.

You might want to consider Emergent Creativity. It is very nice to tutor your programs. If you have mk ultra or paperclip in hand, they can be used as fodder to tutor, say, your multithreaders (or missing breaker) and then you can install them on ice encounter as normal.

Missed that interaction with MKultra. And tutors are what I need.

Corroder, Shadow Net out (and 1 MKultra) Paperclip, Emergent Creativity in.

What about Hostage? I need to tutor for Pawnshop, and that seems the only way.
