NBN - Runner tagging (Core)

I am not expert but without resources for income you will not have that much money, and you need money for tracing.

I have not played this deck but I would remove Beanstalk Royalties for Hedge Fund. 1 more click.

What about some resource for money like Melange Mining Corp. or Adonis Campaign ? Or even PAD Campaign, I love that card. Either make the opponent pay 4 and lose click or lets you get 1 click each turn. It's like one more action per turn.

Hey. I've got already 3 of Hedge Fund in. ICE is pretty low cost, so that's okay. I've done two test matches now and had more the problem, that my ICE was too easily defeated (played against Anarchs) or I dind't get enough. Two times in a row I lost due to not getting the agendas out and then got them pulled out of hand.

I'll think about PAD Campaign though, removing the 3 Beanstalk Royalties and make space for one Campaign and two other ICE.

I am also modifying your deck currently, will try to play it. I will share experience later.

PAD Campaign or Adonis Campaign will be added instead of the Beanstalk Royalties. A sustaining econ push is what is lacking at the moment. Also I'm ending most of the times with agendas on my hand due to low creds for ICE.

The Scorched Earth is a heavy threat, especially with SEA Source for the runner.

Some more installed assets like the campaign will hopefully help to move the runners attention from the central servers towards the remote servers.

Thinking about Ghost Branch as replacement for Shipment from Kaguya. Also Shadow may be a good addition to the ICE, to get some more creds on runs in early game.

Here is my version of your deck: netrunnerdb.com

Thanks @ZammyIsOnFire. I'm currently testing your version a bit. PAD Campaign, Shadow, Ghost Branch are all good improvements to the original deck.

I played today two times of my version of the deck.

It was bad, economics was reaaaally bad :( I rarely had more than 5 credits.

Observations:

• Psychographics works only with Ghost Branch. The runner will rarely have even 1 tag. If there is only 1 tag Psychographics does not make any sense. I think I will remove this card from my deck.

• Ghost Branch won me a game together with Scorched Earth. Managed to bluff opponent in accessing Ghost Branch advance to 4. (brutal)

• Closed Accounts makes sense if opponent has a lot of money. Nice combo with SEA Source... but again, you need to spend 2 clicks and 3 credits to do that. So economically speaking runner should have at least 6-7 credits to be economically viable. Also if he has less than 5 cards, better to Scorched Earth and win the game :)

• Matrix Analyzer and Data Raven are great. Even late game still you punish runs. Also Tollbooth. Gordian Blade needs 7 credits to bypass. Ninja 7 also. Even late game is hefty price. Great for punishing central servers.

• PAD Campaign didn't work out that well when you are not good with money. What happened? 1 click to install, 1 to rez as you always rez it on the beginning of your turn. I did not put any ice in front of it. On runners turn 1 click and 4 credits and it is trashed. Economically it is better for you but that 1 click and 1 credit is -2 credits behind which you could have used for rezing ice.

Summery:

On paper everything is great, on test run you do not have money to execute. I will go and probably return all 3 Beanstalk Royalties :) Maybe get some mining going on with Melange Mining Corp.

I've playtested it a bit more and yes, the economy is still a big problem, Even with 3 PAD Campaign added. I'll take the Beanstalk Royalties in again and remove one Closed Accounts. It's too situational to be really effective.

Ice Wall also sounds great on paper but it is too expensive to advance. I am thinking of combining it with jinteki cards. I think the focus is to flat line the runner so net damage is good!
