Mean Streets of NA Duel Deck (Iain Vs Making News) - Corp

Life is good: crime is on the rise. Increased public concern means increased viewership, the NAPD finally seems ready to agree to allow you exclusive rights to the videotaping of live busts. It would all be so easy if the local thugs didn't have a crack retired spook covering all their tracks. On the bright side, he looks great on camera and if you can shine a bright enough limelight on his activities his friends will run from him like the roaches they are.

This deck is meant to be played only against the matched opponent deck. The decks are constructed to ensure that each deck retains the ability to surprise even after multiple plays. It is also thematically coherent so that most games result in a compelling story, as this helps newer players better understand the flow of play and gets them more invested in the netrunner universe.

I consider this to be a good pairing for relative beginners, suitable for introducing tracing mechanics and tagging mechanics after they understand fundamentals like running and breaking ice. Even for experienced players, going up against such a connection heavy deck where you can use Snatch and Grab to induce the Tri-Mafiosos to kill the runner on your behalf is a fun scenario generally never happens in competitive play.

Everything revolves around keeping your opponent in check. If they're aggressive, dismantle their economy with attacks like Snatch and Grab or Invasion of Privacy. If your opponent is passive, dismantle their economy with Breaking News and Character assassination.

Your ice is porous, but all of it helps you pull ahead to a position that will allow you to destroy your opponent. Even if they get some early agendas, that just means they've crippled their own economy. Your quick agendas make it easy to land the final point even when your opponent thinks they've got the upper hand.

Get powerful, stay powerful, and laugh as your opponent's empire of petty crime burns around them.
