Mercury

I've been working on a Mercury deck for a while myself. It does fairly well, but I'm still a pretty novice player with only NSG cards. I'd skip Amelia Earhart for another Hermes to start. Debbie "Downtown" Moreira doesn't fit as well in this deck either, that could be the 3rd Hermes. Most builds on here would pick Shibboleth over Abagnale or a few have Cat's Cradle. But, I'm not sure what Cycle's you have. Money is often a challenge in this deck, so might have to sacrifice Tranquilizer or Jailbreak for some more economy like Dirty Laundry or Daily Casts. Subbing Docklands Pass for Smartware Distributor will help with multi-access. I'll post my latest iteration (Bioninja V.6) to show you what my deck is like. As I mentioned, not sure what Cycles of cards you have, so let us know and hopefully a couple vets might chip in some more feedback with what you got.

@MadCity Thanks for the input! I'm quite new to Netrunner (only started earlier this month) and this is my first attempt at building a deck from scratch, so it's definitely suboptimal. I debuted this deck yesterday at my local weekly meetup and the main issue was econ, like you said. I think you're also right about Shibboleth over Abagnale and about including fewer icebreakers in general. We use Startup in my group, so unfortunately a lot of cool ice bypass synergies are off the table.

What's the benefit of 3 Hermes over 2? Is it so good it's worth running 3 just to improve the odds of drawing one early?

I posted an updated version of the deck based on your advice and on my playtesting, I'll post an update of what works and what doesn't after my next meetup.
