Money And Access

LordNikonX 2

UPDATED VERSION: https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/66190/money-and-access-v2-0

Just getting back into the game after a few years. Built this one mostly from scratch and having a lot of fun with it. Pretty straight forward, I think. Amass enough money to keep running what needs to be run. Go fish.

Main drawing engine: Professional Contacts. Get to it and you're good. Consolidates your clicks.

The "from the heap" breakers make it so that you can draw past your hand limit with Professional Contacts and then just throw them away.

With The Gauntlet and x3 T400 Memory, you'll have 9 MU, which is enough for all 3 breakers, x3 Rezeki, one Femme Fatale for whatever's troubling you the most, and still have the 2MU necessary to continuously get x3 Data Folding drip.

Spend the click whenever necessary to keep your x3 Smartware Distributor up and with x3 Rezeki and x3 Data Folding, late game, you'll have quite a bit of income.

Throw down The Black File if things start getting hairy.

Most of the time you're gonna wanna choose Asset/Upgrade for Falsified Credentials, because you get the expose whether it's an agenda or not, but you get the cash if they were trying to bluff you, which seems more common.

Only things I really wish I could fit in are The Artist for when I could use a bit more cash to run and Beth Kilrain-Chang for that sweet sweet extra click.

Oh, and Steve can get you Sure Gamble/Daily Casts/Exclusive Party (only if you've already put all 6 in heap) back if you need cash or Inside Job/Falsified Credentials if you're looking to run more.

All suggestions are helpful. :)

Looks cool! Some suggestions:

  • The T400 + Data Folding combo is very convoluted and probably overkill - you're likely to be better off running a really good console that gives you money like Pennyshaver
  • Boomerang is very likely going to do a lot more work than Femme, and is recurrable
  • Bukhgalter is in faction and is probably the best sentry breaker in the game, would definitely run that over MKUltra. Probably Unity or something over Black Orchestra as well.
  • Bravado is one of the best cards in the game and is a fantastic thing to recur as Steve, it'll get you a lot of value.

I´ll add that amina and engolo are some other great decoder options. With Amina all the zekis can still fit in the rig and no influence is spent. Engolo is more flexible and can be used early on though. Mutual favor is great for getting your breakers out. I definitely recommend tapwrm as well since you arent running any other viruses. Diversion of funds is a super powerful card and should probably be in here too.

@Bridgeman thank you for the Amina suggestion! I rather like it and would love to include it, however I rather like that the heap breakers don't cost as much to install and don't cost a click either, as I draw over them to get them into heap and then let them install on encounter. Engolo is actually pretty awesome, as well, but I'd definitely have to rethink my influence count as I just made some edits to the deck and managed to include Beth Kilrain-Chang, so it'd probably be a toss up between her/Black Orchestra and Engolo, but yet again, the clickless install is pretty nice. Mutual Favor is by far my favorite suggestion so far and I would love to include it if I find the space, because digging for breakers is a drag and forces me to take it slower than I'd prefer sometimes. I'm not a fan of tapwrm, only because it gets trashed on purge and, while that does slow the corp down a whole turn, it's not a main objective of mine. Diversion of Funds, or really any Run event, isn't my style. I'm the type of Runner (and this is the type of deck) that doesn't run unless absolutely sure there's going to be an Agenda (or something to prevent death) at the end of the tunnel. Mainly to avoid tags, damage, and all the other nastiness that comes from running. This deck is designed to be the "rich dude runner" and just allows me to sit back and accrue enough econ to eventually be able to run through anything that drops into a server... after exposing it of course. Thank you for all your suggestions though! I appreciate it.

@SneakdoorMelb the t400/data is one of the main things i love about the deck, specifically the free infiinite econ for the late game, and I won't be changing it, but thank you for the suggestion. I actually had Boomerang in the preliminary design of the deck, but then i realized that the focus was less on bypassing subroutines/ice and more on getting rich enough to just run through anything and recover the funds easily, but thank you again. Bukhgalter is nice, but i prefer the clickless install of MKultra, but ironically i just edited the deck and removed MK completely and will be relying on femme for Sentry breaking to make space for other cards. Not the most efficient, I know, but if i have to reinclude a different breaker I will probably still use MKultra because of the heap trigger. Now Unity on the other hand: thank you! that's a kick ass breaker. I would love to use it, if not for @Bridgeman just pointing me to Engolo, which seems to be a bit more my style, as it can be used early on against any ice, even if not as cost efficient. Regardless, I appreciate the suggestion. Finally, Bravado, while cool, isn't what this deck is about; or any Run event for that matter. I'd prefer to run less and more targeted attacks and get my econ up beforehand to get through breakers.

`@LordNikonX If you find Amina too steep then perhaps Unity is a good option? I think youll find that breaking cost efficiently will more than make up for the extra click cost. Especially against ice like engram flush,slot machine or fairchild 3.0.

In my experience this type of deck will be too slow to keep up with the top corps, unless there is a way to slow them down such as tapwrm or dof. Though I definitely respect staying true to the spirit of the deck, deckbuilding is definitely most fun when you explore a concept to its fullest :)
