16 Influence spent (max 15) 45 cards (min 45)
Cards up to Order and Chaos


I had my first game last friday night in Exeter game shop (Clifton road games). I didn't realized that Hades Shard was 1 influence (it was also the only proxy i used so i probably didn't looked the card that well), so the deck is over the 15 limit. Apart from that i created the deck based on cards i have (1x core, creation and control, honor and profit, order and chaos, what lies ahead, future proof and true colors).

The idea wa destroying all ices with spooned-forked-knifed and parasites, runnung R&D trashing assests or ices at the beginning, than trashing agendas and scoring them with Hades shard

I lost all the games i took, but i think the level of players in the shop was high.
But nevertheless i learnt few thing:
1) after using account siphon YOU HAVE TO REMOVE TAGS (expecially if you play cards such as armitage codebusting and daily cast, first game could have been better for me avoiding this big mistake).
2) parasite, famme fatale is usless against blue sun and probably this deck can't beat it.
3) crisium grid can stop keyhole-eater sinergy and be a big pain

of course i think i need to change something in the deck, and before thinking in buying new cards:
-2 (What Lies Ahead)
-1 (Core Set) •
-2 (Future Proof)
+1 (Order and Chaos)
+1 (Order and Chaos)
+1 (Order and Chaos)
+2 Same old thing

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments tnx

[Rotage]

Welcome to the world of Netrunner. The one thing I would consider adding is mimic, architect is a popular card and although eater can break it, if they put a crisum grid behind it then you have no way of dealing with it, I'd be tempted to drop 1 forked for the mimic

[Arkonnen7]

Thank you for suggestion!
I made the change in deckbuilder in NetrunnerDB

i would also put a employee strike in order to deal with blue sun and haarpsicord studios (i think i will buy data and destiny next) but i don't know what to take off because of influence cost.

You only have 5 viruses. So Noise doesn't seem to be the best choice of ID. I would guess the best ID for this deck is Reina Roja. It also doesn't look to dissimilar to some MaxX decks that are popular at the moment.

Liberated Account is really good (if somewhat inflexible due to its install cost). Maybe try fitting that instead of Daily Casts and Armitage.

I think you may find yourself clicking for creds a bit. I'd try to find room for 3-5 more econ/draw cards. The fist things I would look to cut are spare keyholes, the djinn, the 1 DLR and maybe the Retrieval Run. Keyhole is usually a finisher, so you should probably find it before you need it even if you only have 1 or 2. I don't think you need the Djinn, you're memory looks fine and you don't need the tutor effect. DLR is a strategy in and of itself, as a 1 of it's probably a minor inconvenience to the Corp. I don't think you have enough good targets for the Retrieval Run.

All that said, I think it looks very good for a first deck.

[king_mob]

Yeah this not going to be the best noise deck. Quetzal though, its not half bad. Consider dropping DLR and djinn for same old thing so you can spam account siphon.

[Arkonnen7]

At the beginning i tought i could put Maxx in, then i realized i could lost my programs and also showing the opponent my strategy when the cards where going into heap, i guess Maxx is allright if your deck is very solid.

so far thanks for the advices, i'm considering dropping the cards you suggested but i don't know what to fit in for now (3 same old thing ok but then? Ananrch core icebreakers?)

[king_mob]

No no, eater + keyhole is fine, eater + siphon is also fine, SoT to repeatedly spam account siphon, making the corp too poor to defend against repeated keyhole runs = very fine. Good even.

MaxX is a hard ID to play, i wouldnt worry about it. Quetzal siphon spam with eater/keyhole is a very solid archetype.

Just make sure you do change the ID from noise. Play whatever ID you like and whatever cards you like after that, just dont play these cards in a noise deck.

Here's a anarch denial deck i like to go back to now and again, mostly when im in a bad mood and i feel like stomping someone in the most unfun way possible.

Quetzal + femme gives you actually a pretty decent amount of remote pressure. But the idea here really is to siphon the corp again and again and again and again via Deja Vu and SoT, then keyhole them through the floor.

The cutlery set is great, especially in the anarch with the built in barrier breaker. Inject is an amazing draw card, especially with so few programs, and ret run gives you femmes for 6c less.

But i guess i like your list more

[king_mob]

I think your list looks pretty good too

Id go up to 3x fester if my only breaker was darwin though, otherwise you could be locked out by something daft like a lotus field for 2-3 turns. Or include some stuff to back up darwin.

Id say more than anything, take the builds you like the look of play lots with them! You will soon figure out what works and what doesn't.

[MasterAir]

Darwin isn't a card. But if you insist, I think you want to play Surge to prevent the Corp from locking you out with a purge.

I actually think fester doesn't do a huge amount because you're on a siphon spam plan and therefore will have tags.

Looks like a good 'for fun' deck.

Darwin is a card that plagues a lot of people. It never, ever works.

[king_mob]

Oh dont be a pill, let the person play the cards they like. They will discover whats up with darwin sooner or later.














Spoilers: Yah, it kinda sucks.

[GuyCliquil]

[Vapo]

Darwin was the only icebreaker in my Oxford SC winning runner deck. I lost the one game where I can remember actually installing it.

[Arkonnen7]

I didn't wanted to start a war on darwin! I might try that just to see if it can work better than eater but probably i have to rethink the deck entirely

[MasterAir]

Sorry. Darwin *is* fun. If the deck doesn't work and is frustrating. Try changing Darwin before changing anything else.

[Vapo]

Yeah to be fair it's actually entirely legit in a deck with Progenitor, [Hivemind] and Virus Breeding Ground - you can be back at strength 4 after 2 clicks of your first turn following a purge once you're fully set up. The only reason I didn't use it more was Blackmail is an even easier way in

I'd want the full 3x Progenitor and 3x VBG in any build doing that tho, since they're the two parts not tutorable with Djinn. Of course at that point you've got a build where Purging is useless so the Festers would have to come out and it's probably then a whole different beast... But I do think it can work as a main breaker if you give it enough support.

Edit: realised Hivemind not actually even needed to get back to STR 4 following purge with Darwin on Progenitor + 2x VBG.
