Ampere: QED (optimized according to Trash-or-Busto)

duk 105

This list contains 1x of the top 49 standard legal cards that can be put into a single deck from the ranking website trash-or-busto. In a way I didn't make this deck, the algorithm did. But I've spent enough time on that website to have surely made some kind of mark, so I definitely did make this deck.

Played 1 game on jnet and I can confirm this is perfected netrunner. Scored an early Atlas with a counter and didn't use it until the final turn to no great effect.

The 1st card slotted was Rashida Jaheem (Rank #6) duh; the final card: DNA Tracker (Rank #132) huh?

Clearly this is the pinnacle of Corp Deckbuilding. No it's not lacking econ you just can't stomach spending your whole turn for 3c. 10/10 would play again.

Overall I'm quite pleased with how this turned out. Nearly every card in this list is some amount of 'good' in a vacuum. Even the tag punishment cards can work if you believe (BOOM! is tough but there's MCA Austerity Policy and Drago Ivanov so idk you figure it out).

I'm shocked at how 'balanced' the list turned out to be, no card type or ice subtype is over-represented here. Punitive Counterstrike is probably the worst card here, but that's largely because it's 1x and doesn't follow up well.

More econ, and another shuffle effect would go a long ways to smoothing out the wrinkles here. Next time you're on trash-or-busto, give some love to Regolith Mining License or Simulation Reset

@neuropantser Thanks for checking this out! I'm a huge fan of your work; IMO Slumscast is canonically the best NR Podcast! I can also confirm that listening has not made me any better at playing Netrunner!

@YsengrinSC Awesome, I'm glad you enjoy this! I really enjoy your content as well, and I would be delighted to see you playing this perfected list any day :)
