Zemletrus Netrunner Box Decklist: Adam, Old School Hacker

Android: Netrunner has ended but my love of the game hasn't diminished. Instead of selling off my collection, I have decided to treat Android: Netrunner as a "finished" board game. I've created a "Game Box" where you can just pick up a pre-constructed deck and play without having to worry about building a deck out of the gigantic available card pool.

I made a few personal rules for building the decks:

1.) The entire card pool is available to use. I have at least 1 copy of all Fantasy Flight Games released Data Packs and Expansion boxes, however I don't infinite amounts of each card. For example, I only have 1 play set of Rashida Jaheem, even though I'd probably want to put her in more than one deck, she can only be in one deck..

2.) All versions of the Most Wanted List are ignored when it comes to deck building restrictions. I know certain cards like Cerebral Imaging: Infinite Frontiers and Faust are absolutely insane when left unchecked but I have some self control to not abuse them being available for deck building.

3.) No more than 3 different decks can have the same cards (ignoring Sure Gamble / Hedge Fund in this calculation). For example, Dirty Laundry only shows up in 3 of the 8 Runner decks and Archived Memories only shows up in 2 of the 8 Corporation decks.

4) Each deck can't have more than 10 cards that overlap with one another (ignoring Sure Gamble / Hedge Fund in this calculation). For example, the Adam: Compulsive Hacker and Sunny Lebeau: Security Specialist decks could have had playsets of Same Old Thing, Daily Casts and Earthrise Hotel as they have very few in-faction cards to chose from. This rule prevents the decks from playing the same lines or looking too similar on paper.

With the rules set, let's talk about my Adam: Compulsive Hacker deck.

I wanted to have a Runner deck that played the original Core Set breakers. I debated about whether or not to put in the Yog.0-style static breakers or some of the other breakers. I couldn't figure out a way to fit Datasucker in while having the space for Algernon. Plus, I always had a soft-spot for Gordian Blade and Corroder. Adam wants to be aggressive and Logic Bomb allows you to get in with your early game Dirty Laundry and Always Be Running to be effective. Always Be Running, Neutralize All Threats and Safety First as my preferred starting Directives.

Potential Changes: Ninja isn't the correct Killer but it feels thematically appropriate. Liberated Account is a little slow despite the powerful burst of credits you can get. Economy cards that benefit from aggressive running like Bank Job and Temüjin Contract may be a better fit.
