I do agree that not including Scorch is very counter to Weyland's strategy, but they're a simple and straightforward faction outside of that. The problem with playing SEA Source and Scorched right off the bat is that you basically have to tell the new runner, "Hey, this card exists and is in the deck so always keep it in mind." I want them to find out what the corp is packing on their own, without any huge risk of ending the game prematurely in an unsatisfying way for the runner. A big part of the fun in netrunner is the nervousness about the hidden stuff, and the eventual reveal of what that stuff is. |
If you're trying to teach someone about Weyland (or how to play against Weyland), I think you really do need Scorched Earth (and probably a SEA Source). It's such a common tactic that a new player should know to keep 4+ cards in their hand against Weyland, or to avoid tags like the plague.
A full-on glacier deck (which this looks like) might be better run out of HB instead.
