PPE - Positive Player Experience!
With so much negativity in today's Netrunner I wanted to create a legal deck that allowed your opponent to have as much fun as possible!!
Our goal was to give your opponent as much of a positive feeling as you can, while making sure our deck is 100% legal, so our card choices all revolve around that theme
Harmony Medtech seemed like the most logical choice so our opponent can win quickly so 6 points to be the logical choice here. In testing I've found that asking your opponent to score 7 points is just too much and can lead to long unfun and aggravating games; turning what is a fun and positive experience into a slogfest.
We consulted !ratios and decided on the classic 19 agenda suite so our opponent can score as many as times as possible. We want our deck to be as agenda dense as we can! No 3 pointers here. Consistency is key!
Everyone loves card draw so allowing the runner to draw possibly 3 additional cards per turn makes for a fun and exciting experience for your opponent. All those extra cards allow them the options that they desire while drawing ourselves 3 extra cards means more chances to draw those sweet sweet agendas to again maximize our opponents efforts!
Again, card draw seemed appropriate here as we wanted to stock as many in hand as we can so that our opponents runs are as fruitful as possible. Shipment from MirrorMorph also allows us to install 3 agendas in a single slick! Again our goal is to make the game as positive as we can for our opponent and we want to maximize their accesses.
Lastly we come to our ice choice. If you find our opponent is really struggling and cant seem to find that last winning agenda Kitsune allows us to make sure they find the positive winning experience they crave when we force them to access the win!
Hopefully we see more decks like these in tournaments because like you, the crushing and soul sucking experience that a lot of the competitive decks bring needs balance to make sure our numbers continue to stay strong and we grow this game as much as possible!!! PPE is the Ying to IG Superfriends Yang.

No Medical Research Fundraiser? Give the runner a little extra cash to help trash Hiro? |

This deck is fantastic, but I think that 3/1 is stressful for the runner, an entire run to steal only 1 point? Yep using 3/2 4/2 lower the agenda density but make also space for some medical research and similar nice cards |

Uh, I haven't noticed, no mental health? We must give to the poor runner must a way to not discard the cards that we help him draw |

There is going to be an update on the PPE deck once Fear the Masses comes out and I can publish it. Coming to a meta near you! |

I think you're going about this the wrong way with so much focus on draw, and I agree with I would cut the Green Levels and Shipments, and use that nine influence for 3x Localized Product Line. Then you can switch to 5/3s, and you can pull a win for your opponent straight out of R&D with one click! So what do we do with the 15 deck slots we just opened up? More ice, that's what. 3x Levy University - This is the card that makes it all possible, enabling a sweet combo where every click you can pull an ice out of your deck, further increasing your agenda density. 3x Shiro - This helps you fix the order of R&D, pulling agendas to the top, and has the benefit of enabling a positive player experience off of R&D, even if they're running on an empty HQ. 3x Chimera - This is the perfect card for boosting a runnie's self-esteem. You can make sure it always matches the type of ice breaker they have installed, so your opponent will always feel like they did a good job! 3x Bullfrog - Put this in front of the Levy University. If the runnie tries to disrupt your strategy by running it, you can easily redirect them back to R&D. 3x Crick - Put this on the server defending your Palana Agroplex. That way, if your opponent wants to trash it they can, without having to pay that crazy 5 cost, and you can replace it with an agenda from Archives at the same time. |

No celebrity gifts to let them see they have nothing to fear from HQ multi-access? |

I second the Chimera recommendation. The lack of ICE+icebreaker interaction sounds like it's been a big part of the negative player experience lately. Giving the runner a chance for that interaction will really help them have a more positive experience. Definitely don't run Celebrity Gift. The runner's experience is so much more positive when they THINK you might have a big mean trap, only to find out they were a lucky duck who managed to steal an agenda! |

think about Disposable HQ , can remove all your non agendas from hand. |

Finally a breath of fresh air after the oppression of oppressive decks. Truly the first interactive corp deck! |

I'd be worried that if a Shaper/Maxx sees Agroplex and Chronos Project early it could cause some stress as they worry about their discard pile? Could also give the false impression that there could be traps lurking. On the other hand, if the runner goes full tilt to win before this imaginary threat materializes, the inevitable win could taste that much sweeter! |

Wouldn't it be better to replace the Chronos Projects with Clone Retirement? Dosen't it fill your heart with glee when you can give them extra money to run you with each turn? |

The Netrunner web sites are no place for jokes, only serious tactics discussion, and game play help , rules clarification etc. where's the moderation. This is unconstructive. I'm reporting this for nuke immediately. This used to be a place for serious discussion and help. |

Perfect write up. This is the deck of self-esteem Netrunner camps and ribbons for all participants. |

That this deck managed Deck of the Week speaks volumes about the plummeting quality of this game's player base. No, I'm not talking about being able to joke around, I mean that anyone would actually consider using Harmony Medtech. Seriously. Get a life. |

It gives your opponent positive gaming experience, then what about your own? |

Wait, wait, wait. Where's your Political Dealings? I mean, sometimes they just don't know where to run! |

This may have problems with some deck archetypes. How do you deal with Gabriel The Good Citizen? netrunnerdb.com |

Deck of the week huh? Seriously disappointed at the quality of content curation from the admins of this site. |

needs a Power Shutdown and two Jackson Howard. Wait until you have a full hand of agendas to trigger it. That way you can make sure that no matter where the Runner goes, he's going to have a Really Good Day. |

False Lead is way too harsh for this deck. Ancestral Imager, too - what if they're trying to make money with Au Revoir? |

Why is this here......XD this made me laugh at work and I got in trouble for being on my phone haha! @sotomatic |
You might have mistaken "having a fun game" with "letting the other player win". Just a thought.
