AV8R 26

This is my first Criminal deck build. I ran with v0 of it once, then swapped out a few cards (Toolbox was too much, swapped in peacock for a gordian) and ended up with this. Counting both runs, it's 1-1. It has reasonable economy, but not a lot of forcing function if corp is playing slow (that's why I added the nerve agent). And I suspect maybe I have too many one-offs, should probably cut it down all the way to 45. I'd happily take advice from others.

1 of wyldside is not going to come up often enough, 3 copies of quality time would be a GREAT replacement for that. Remove mr li if you do that, and then remove 3 dysons to save space.

Swap out the 2 nerve agents for 1 corroder and 1 HQ interface, and 1 corroder. Replace 1 femme and 1 peacock with 2 crypsis. If you lose your code gate breaker, crypsis is there, but it's also there to help you be aggressive early. Drop data dealer for a 3rd sneakdoor since thats super important for Gabe.

A lot of people are going to tell you to use desperado over spinal, I don't necessarily think its that important. You get 2 credits per turn with it, since with gabe you should be running 1 time at least.

FAO has lost value in my mind because EVERYONE runs super cheap/free ice. It'll hit paperwalls and pop up windows often enough to frustrate the shit out of you. Since I had you drop a femme, you need another "deal with big ice card" swap the 3 FAO for 3 Emergency Shutdown.

Replace muresh bodysuit with 2 plascrete. 1 meat damage doesn't happen much, and it won't save you from scorched. Public sympathy is also a really hefty cost for what it does (yes its just 2). I think you'd be better off putting in bank job or kati jobes.

So Essentially you're looking at:

Gabriel Santiago Consummate Professional

15 influence spent (max 15) ••••••••••••••• 45 cards (min 45) Cards up to Opening Moves Event (15)

3x Easy Mark 3x Emergency Shutdown 3x Hostage 3x Inside Job 3x Quality Time ••• Hardware (10)

3x Cyberfeeder ••• 2x HQ Interface 3x Plascrete Carapace 2x Spinal Modem •••• Resource (9)

3x Armitage Codebusting 3x Bank Job 3x Daily Casts Icebreaker (8)

1x Corroder •• 2x Crypsis 3x Faerie 1x Femme Fatale 1x Gordian Blade ••• Program (3)

3x Sneakdoor Beta

The downside is that you don't have any multidig in R&D so if they can keep you out, you essentially have no R&D lock threat outside of making cheap runs to try to top deck it out. It worked in early netrunner, so it should be okay, if you can really pin them back.

Oh, that is if you were trying to build without account siphon. Otherwise drop the daily casts for that. Or all 3 easy marks. Or 1 daily casts, 1 faerie and 1 plascrete unless you're planning on floating tags.

Thanks! I think the only thing I'm missing is quality time (haven't picked up that pack yet), but I'll figure something out there. It'll probably be a bit before I get a chance to try the other mods you suggested, but I'll let you know how it goes!
