[c2rb] SoloBoy Post Gyration

Revisited sol. Last deck I plan on doing before disappearing again.

This deck gives the part of me that still wants to play netrunner hope. That doesn't mean I'm going to keep playing netrunner; I don't have the time for it. That does not mean this is a good deck, but it feels.... well positioned? Adjacent as a deck that does not suck, but also does not do a whole lot to be well a giant NPE that makes everyone hate you?

Maybe drop an ASH for 2x GFI over Reeducation. I swear, all 3 pointers are awful; but not as awful as the NBN agenda suite.

The NBN ice suite however is not too shabby. And Seidr fills the gap. I was skeptical, but in a post eli/corroder world where paperclip is the measurement, it's actually equivalent if a credit more expensive.

Sub boost is here because the ice isn't good enough. Sometimes you need to give IP block a hard ETR. Sometimes you need to have 7 str code gate.

Improved Tracers might be raising your eyebrows a bit, That's fine. It does help with the econ war though. Slightly bigger tracers put a lot of your cards right where you want them. 5 str IP blocks, 5 str News Hounds.... well, hopefully they aren't playing atman...

So, if you aren't playing against atman, this deck is good? Well, better than awful. And if they're playing the turtle, you're in a pretty good position to lock them out.

Special Report patches the lack of jackson. Biased reporting replaces sweeps week. We'd rather lie than get good ratings. Did murcoch media buy out NBN? Maybe? Heyooo.

And look, everyone's playing those resources now. They are a pain. So, 1x all seeing eye and hope you catch them with too many tags? It's not a deal breaker.

I would rate this deck 2/5 in a pre gyration meta; post gyration a solid who knows/5.

Enjoy. It's not making news.

I think Ash is fine, I'd rather remove one Seidr and one Paywall, replace with Scarcity of Resources/Trageted Marketing/Predictive Algorithm (whichever you like the most), then replace Reeducation and Improved Tracers with GFIs. Then you can use two free slots on something which will help your econ without having to score a 3/1 first. Maybe Launch Campaign so you can also use it to bait some runs. 4 or 5 strength on News Hound makes no difference for MKUltra, Dagger, often for Nanot'k as well.

I agree mostly with @hsiale. You will get way more out of Scarcity than Paywall. If you cut two you can add 3 gfi. Drop 1 Seidr and you can add anotger defensive upgrade. Warroid Tracker goes well with Ash. You could also add Strongbox. The runner wont see it coming. Also, Red Herrings combines well with glacier AND will be even better if Critic ends up restricted.
