Eternal Lite Corp Banlist 1.0 - Please read description

Torch 22

This is the ban list for Eternal Lite as of 9/7/23. The goal of this format is to create a large pool of options for players to enjoy the classic feel of Netrunner. We have tried to ban any combos or single cards that reduce the gameplay to a point where it is no longer about two players in the attempt to get 7 agenda points or a flatline. This list is a first draft and your feedback is not only welcome, but encouraged. Please feel free to leave a comment below discussing a card that you might think should've made it onto this list or perhaps something that is banned that you feel can be a part of a more relaxed eternal format. As always, please be respectful.

The following ID's are banned.

Jinteki: Potential Unleashed

Mti Mwekundu: Life Improved

Ob Superheavy Logistics: Extract. Export. Excel.

Skorpios Defense Systems: Persuasive Power

Titan Transnational: Investing In Your Future

In addition to the cards in this decklist, you may only include 1 copy per card name of the following in an Eternal Lite deck. (For example, you may include both Border Control and Breached Dome in the same deck, but you could not include two or more copies of Border Control)

Border Control
Breached Dome
Cyberdex Sandbox
DNA Tracker
Fairchild 3.0
Fully Operational
Global Food Initiative
Manegarm Skunkworks
SSL Endorsement

I'd love to read more about the reasoning behind the choices made here, although that might be a lot of work. The idea is very interesting, but I can't quite understand what is the desired result.

On an unrelated note, might I suggest banning Surat City Grid instead of Cybersand Harvester in order to stop infinite money combos? The former card is the key to degenerate situations, while the latter is a very fair card IMO. Moreover getting rid of harvester doesn't stop the combo, it just forces the corp to run Traffic Analyzer

@wowarlokthats fair, when we were developing the list i knew of the combo(and not of traffic analyzer), and wanted to leave bloop alone, since that card is fine and the wincon to harmonic suites, and i left Surat because i have nostalgia for the old Robocop combo deck, but surat it likely the correct choice.

@wowarlokthanks for the suggestion, I agree and have gone and changed the list. I uploaded it again because unfortunately my knowledge of NetrunnerDB is limited and I'm not sure how to edit a deck once published. Please see the new list here: netrunnerdb.com

We will be adding a description with an explanation of all the ban choices within a few days here.
