The tools I have

I got together with a couple of friends and decided to play Netrunner again with an expanding card pool. This is my Runner Deck from our Gateway + Update 2021 era.

Overall Deck Strategy

To install and advance fast our deck state, to get the Corp into an inevitable R&D lock, with shaper prowess.

Card choices:

Events

The draw is handled here with Diesel and VRcation. Sure Gamble and Dirty Laundry are standard econ, and Career Fair is an influence point that I thought it could work with the expensive Resources bellow. Test Run is our answer to rush decks,

Hardware

DZMZ Optimizer is there to help us handle the memory requirements, as well as to ease the rig building. The console is just neat with our boy.

Resources

Liberated Accounts is expensive but great econ, Professional Contacts is our late game draw and econ machine, and Telework Contract is there as an easier access econ start.

Icebreaker suite

Corroder, Echelon and Unity are as efficient as we can get with this card pool. Femme Fatale is there to deal with pesky on encounter ICE, like Tollbooth.

Other programs

Conduit is our late game win condition. Clot is our answer against FA decks (but without instant speed to bring it into the table, I doubt if it will be of any utility. We will see), and Egret is there to help ease some late game infiltration.

Final Thoughts

We will see if the inevitability of R&D lock can be provided with so little tools at our shaper's disposal. I will comment how it fares against their kitchen rivals whenever we finally play. Thanks for reading.
