I nearly went with a core set Weyland, but bottled it last night. If I'd had another week of testing...
Some people are thinking IG because a lot of players haven't practiced against it and therefore they think it might do well, but actually the Whizzard match up favours the runner arguably (if they play properly and don't get flustered), so I'm not as sure on that.
There'll be a lot of yellow decks, NEH is still doing well and with three varieties (asset spam, fastro, kill) you've still got the advantage of your opponent not being sure what you're doing. Add in Sol and the odd SYNC, etc. and it's quite populace.
There'll be some HB, but it's not in the greatest of places, seems you're better off going Palana and having Caprice in faction! The Palana games largely come down to psi games (for both players).
Whizzard is still strong, Noise as well, although Variency (new word). Criminals look good against some of the yellow decks and if you've put in the plascrete (after murder NEH and Argus regional wins) you've probably not in a bad place. Geist looks good long game, but some corps are rushing out, so it depends if you get the right pieces early enough.
Green has a lot of game due to the answers for everything approach, but it's a matter of match ups and what you've selected in terms of Sac Con, Clot, Net Sheild, Fan Site, Deus X, etc. There's only so many silver bullets to go round and classic corp decks may edge benefit from teching against others.
Overall it'll be Anarach at the top, blue and green reasonably even?
Yellow is favourite on the corp side I reckon, then jinteki, HB, Weyland.
