Advanced Learning Deck 01

The goal of this set of decks was to create decks that a (gaming-competent) new player could learn with and then be able to use against non-new people. These are not core set only, but I tried to limit how many new packs were needed. I tested these with new players at an intro event followed by a casual GNK, and they were received well.

Core set shaper is pretty miserable IMO and doesn't do much to give a feel for the faction. Good breakers, multi-access, fun femme plays with test run/scavenge, and sneakdoor give some pretty satisfying plays. Test run/scavenge give some security in case of blowouts in a much more interesting way than sac con does. This deck sets up all the cool elegant (and sometimes surprising) shaper plays that are fun and feel good. Despite common criticism, I think mopus is a great card to teach with, as it makes the concept of making credits not complicated and lets people focus on everything else (instead of being worried they will run out of money the entire game). It also makes planning out future turns much more streamlined, which is really important when you are just getting started.
