Deck valid after Sixth Rotation |
A pair of decks using only System Gateway and System Update 21 cards. My family recently got into Netrunner, and we have been having fun building duel decks that play well against each other. See the corp deck here: SG+SU21 duel – Episode 1: Precision Design (vs Tāo)
Tāo Salonga (shaper) versus Precision Design (Haas-Bioroid) is a fantastic matchup. Thematically, pitting a ruthlessly efficient megacorp putting up expensive defenses against a sophisticated hacker shifting ICE around to solve the puzzle feels like classic cyberpunk!
For the Runner, we started with Girometics’ [SG+SU21] Tāo Salonga - Server Restructuring and made several changes:
Note that Test Run can tutor programs—not just breakers—so you can use Conduit or Sneakdoor Beta early. It can also retrieve a breaker from the heap (so no need for duplicates), an uninstalled Botulus (that Corp previously shifted to a Magnet) or a spent Fermenter.
Pantograph always triggers together with Tāo’s ID, i.e. you get 1 and can install a card on the opponent’s turn… a real time-saver. Also, for virus-based programs like Botulus and Fermenter, this means you get one token faster.
Aesops Pawnshop is helpful in sustaining economy in the late-game. Don’t be afraid to use it once per turn on hardware, resources or programs no longer worth keeping (e.g. a Botulus that has been moved onto a Magnet).
Hopefully this is helpful to others looking for a balanced and exciting matchup using the SG+SU21 card pool!
