My Noise Deck

This is hardly original, but this is the best deck I play after about six weeks of playing Netrunner. Noise was my favorite identity right of the box and continues to be so for a couple reasons:

1) As I was starting out, I wanted to learn to play A:NR without having to to buy too many cards. I was sold on this game being an alternative to M:TG-style collectable card games and accumulating boxes of cards from the get-go felt counter intuitive to that plan. Anarchs, Weyland, and NBN appealed to this philosophy since they didn't have any deluxe expansions at the time, but I've obviously been stocking up on Data Packs.

2) Viruses are awesome.

Where I feel this deck diverges from others of similar builds:

1) I really try to make Darwin work. Knight is a powerful card, but with Blue Sun: Powering the Future being immediately so popular, Knight loses a lot of bite. Playing it against a deck that actually rewards the Corp for trashing ICE seems to take it out at the knees. Plus, Darwin works pretty great with another less popular card:

2) Surge! I love Surge and I'm surprised I don't see it in more virus decks. With Grimoire out you can Surge a Darwin and have him at 3 strength on the first turn. I'd really like to fine-tune this strategy to where I won't need the Knights and can shed a Crypsis.

3) I'm a big fan of Stimhack for big plays, and subsequently offsetting the brain damage with Public Sympathy.

I also boldly (read: stupidly) have no Plascrete Carapace in here at the moment, but I'm pretty flexible on that.

Also I'm not using full influence, but I never feel compelled to use it just to use it.
