I've been playing Adam ever since D&D hit the shelves in the UK.

I've won more games than I've lost with this build. It's all about embracing Adam's directives (with Independent Thinking and Dr. Lovegood as a precaution in case the directives become a hindrance).

You have to play aggressive. Run. Run. Run. The cards in the deck are only there to help create and facilitate running opportunities as well as offer some protection against Corp shenanigans.

Playing in such an aggressive manner relies upon you as the player to know what to run and when to run. Playing as Adam you know you HAVE to run that first , so plan ahead and think accordingly.

Adam can under the right circumstance be a steam engine slamming into Central servers and stealing all the Agendas.

  • the calculated downside of this deck is...you're vulnerable to the likes of Scorched Earth, Project Junebug, Snare etc, especially early on in the game. Sometimes...it happens and you're wrecked. But sometimes...you score all the agendas you need even in a single turn, and when that happens, you'll become a Compulsive Adam player.

I'll be trying Adam out tomorrow at a delayed Winter Kit Tournament tomorrow! To really put him to the test.

I can't understand pipeline as a choice here. I feel like you're much better off running 1 more striker, or another davinci if you find sentries to be not a problem. I feel like -2 pipe +1 yog is better, and it puts you at 45.

Modded is another option.

With Adam's already tight turns because of ABR, I have to wonder why you'd go Crypsis over another AI breaker. Why not Overmind, since it looks like you're already planning on having unused MU? And if you're going that route, it may not be a bad idea to experiment with e3 Feedback Implants which also combo with Always Be Running. Those two elements + John Masanori could help you not have to lean on Earthrise so much.

When you've already got Striker in the mix, I can't help but think that GS Shrike M2 would be a better use of the influence. DaVinci seems like it would help there.

Hey, thanks for the comments. I went for Crypsis as I don't have the Honour and Profit set and I wanted a versatile Icebreaker. Originally I had e3 Feedback Implants in the deck at 2, then at 1...and now zero. I never really used it, even when installed. I saw another Adam deck on the "Popular" decklist (on netrunnerdb) and they have got E3 listed either - so I thought I'd brave it too.

Using John Masanori I didn't like the idea of tagging myself (as GrantZilla point out in my Reina Build = I'll reply to that message next!)

I'd love to included GS Shrike M2 but i'm out of influence...unless I switch 2x Pipeline for it...? I thought Pipeline would be a good choice as it keeps the +strength through out the run.

There is nearly no case where pipeline is playable, especially for influence

There's an argument to be made in a corner-case Nasir deck vs. stacked sentries but...in this deck Pipeline bankrupts you like it does in most.

The reason I suggested Masanori is that with enough credits, Always Be Running and e3 up, you're going to get through a single ICE and get your draw, maybe an agenda or a critical trash. Perhaps Career Fair + Earthrise is a bit more stable, but Masanori rewards aggression which is what Adam is really good at. Seriously, try him out sometime. I think you'll be really impressed at what he can do for you. With ABR you need as much click compression as you can get.

Since you will run each turn because de Always Be Running, you should consider Grifter in this deck. I have 3 Grifter in my Adam deck and it's clearly a MVP. e3 Feedback Implants would also synergize well with that strategy.

Public Sympathy would also be a nice addition against an early Scorched Earth.
