First Runner deck (Criminal)

By ERHershman, in Android: Netrunner Deck Building

Hi,

I'd appreciate any comments on the deck below, which is my first. The idea I had in mind was to make as many runs as possible, focusing on HQ, while avoiding ice or getting an idea of what I'm up against in advance so as to have the correct icebreakers installed.

It's not bad but there are definitely a couple of things I'd change. You have way too many expose cards and you will never need that many. I'd get rid of both snitch and lemuria codecracker and replace it with one or two infiltrates if you really feel the need for expose. Your breaker suite is so-so. Leviathan is way too expensive to use. You're going to have to spend some influence and bring in either Yog with Datasuckers or a Gordian Blade. Some people like Aurora, I prefer Corroder. As far as where to get that influence both Test Run and Demo run seem a bit out of place in this deck (especially three of each). If you really want to keep demo runs then you have to include a couple of HQ interfaces since trashing just one card with demo run is kind of underwhelming. And you'll definitely not need three of them. With all of the room you'l free up you'll want to include more economy since you're a little light on economy in general. Kati Jones is good long term, Daily casts is good if you want to save your clicks. Also consider burst economy like Dirty Laundry. Since it rewards you for doing what you want to do anyways and that's run.

Hope that helps

Thanks very much. I will definitely look at replacing Demolition Run and Test Run with some better breakers and economy-related cards.
