Double or Nothing

Pedantic 24

I put together a first to two deck! RPC makes it essentially irrelevant what the actual advancement cost of the agenda your scoring is, so you can play with the smallest possible number of agendas in a Netrunner deck. On the one hand, you can just lose off a two card access, but on the other the odds of seeing an agenda in the first place are as low as you can get them, and once you know the location of any of the 4 they get even lower. I originally tried to play it out out of Builder of Nations, but you need every last Jackson you can get, and occasionally getting to blow up a Clot, cut down on easy Siphon-spam or winnow a prepaid deck is just straight up more useful. And you get the benefit of "what jank is this?!" confusion slowing the runner down.

Gameplan is to install ice, advance that ice until you've got 6-9 advancement counters hanging around, then use Biotic Labor an Red Planet Couriers to score one of your agendas.

Mostly I just wanted an excuse to play with Mass Commercialization. Clicking for 10-18 credits is stupid and amazing. I've found myself using Jackson to put back agendas into my deck so I can Fast Track for one of them immediately. Only having to ice 2-3 servers means you can afford to go deep and taxing, so the runner will occasionally exhaust themselves and give you a window to store an agenda in hand.

Everything else in the deck is just money and ways to turn your combo back on or get your combo pieces back. Being ready to go again after 2 Dedication Ceremonies is pretty fun, and after you've scored 1 agenda, there's no reason not to pump any extra time and money into advancing your ICE to make it that much more expensive until you're ready to go again.

Hilariously for the Colorado meta, the deck has a pretty good Leela matchup, because she has the absolute minimum number of chances to fire, and the risks of getting caught with anything that can be Gang Signed out of your hand is minimal.

I am surprised theirs no Punitive Counterstrike in here seems like the perfect agenda suite for it.
