Deckbuilding 101 - Building Our First Damage Deck - System Gateway - Android: Netrunner

[@pi_314]

I’ve decided that I’m going to be playing Netrunner in the new year as a card game as I’ve been plying on chiriboga for awhile, so this video series has been a great boon!

This series is a sign from the universe that I should play more Netrunner. Also thank you And happy holidays! This comment will age well.

I really appreciate this series! It's really cool seeing some deck building as a new player.

Merry Christmas!!! And thanks for all your content

Great, after diving again in netrunner i decided to focus on Jinteki startup and this video made me rething my deck ! I'd be curious how you would reconsider ice selection when Sysiphus Protocol and Mount Fuji retrieval become available. Cloud eater, jaguarandi and Boto seemed quite appealing so i feel like the expanded startup format makes you rethink quite some ice & agenda

Fujii Asset Retrieval is perfect for this sort of archetype for many reasons, but I'm not sure if we'd end up playing Sisyphus Protocol. 5/2 agendas are quite hard to score, and those numbers don't line up well with Neurospike. See How The Run, on the other hand, sets up much more naturally for a five damage burst with double Neurospike. Just about all the Jinteki ice from the Liberation Cycle is perfectly spikey, and Tatu-Bola is incredible. We'd also get a huge boost from both Charlotte Caçador and Cohort Guidance Program, which both use and generate advancement counters in ways we'd enjoy.

Maybe here it would have made more sense to build a system update deck with personal evolution

Gateway content will be evergreen for years but update is being replaced by Dawn in less than 3 months.

As qwitwa mentioned, as of right now, it's unfortunately a bit tricky to tackle System Update 2021, let alone the Startup format. System Update is rotating out of both the Startup and Standard format in two or three months, and it's not a product I would actively recommend pursuing. It's an awkward spot, but I'll definitely revisit Gateway + Dawn (the set that is replacing System Update) in the near future when it's released. That being said, even with the Systeup Update card pool, there's a chance that we might stick with Restoring Humanity over Personal Evolution. That's mostly so we can have some free credits to afford the third fork to our damage plan - Punitive Counterstrike.
