Quetzal, Supplied Spirit

SantosPapaya 19

It's my first deck in netrunnerDB so i don't know where to start.

The Supplier

You might wanna know why i choose this card. Well, in my local meta, someone told me it was garbage and i like to tell people they are wrong. I guess it was an ego trip. Anyway. I'm not really a criminal player, so i was stuck with red or green. Shaper could be a good choice with all the hardware they have but if i wanna play some hardware deck, i might take Kate and then why bother with The Supplier. So Anarch it is.

Beside The basic stuff like Daily Cast and Kati, i tried to choose cards with a good synergy. Anarch has a strong economy ressource card in Liberated Account but it costs 6 credits... 6 !! With The Supplier, you get a discount and a pretty cool one. Plascretes are cheaper, and you can get free console and Implants.

Quality Time

I tried a couple of Quetzal decks having Inject has a main drawing tool. I didn't like it. I felt if i have to put more cards in my deck to get back other cards... I don't know, it felt counter productive even if you have Déja vu and Retrieval Run in faction.

Scrubber

This one is ok for now, it might go out of the deck after more playtest but i found it decent with The Supplier.

D4v1d.

I know what you think. And I too love this card but for now, i didn't need it that badly. I could take off an Overmind for a copy of D4v1d but i think one copy isn't good enough for consistency.

Ending Lines

Thanks for reading, english ain't my native language, please be kind. Feel free to criticise, give advice, be a free spirit.

I'd consider maybe either adding more chess pieces, or switching consoles. It just doesn't seem worth while having 3 Deep Reds with your only chess piece being the Knight. (Which is a good one, but that console slot is really critical.)

Hell, even just standard old Grimoire would maybe work better.

@Softman25`Hum, that's a good point. When i play against a fast advance deck, it's click efficiency when installing Knight. And if it's a more taxing deck, Deep Red gives you extra memory for Overmind power counters. That's all. Console ain't a central piece in this deck compared to a Grimoire in Noise or a Desperado in Andromeda. But by saying that, it's true 3 copies might be an overkill. Thanks for the feedback, i'll keep an eye on Grimoire.

Looks good! I will try this out today! Would add perhaps a Darwin for late-game breaking power. Not sure about Deep Red myself. Knight AND Overmind are solid arguments tho.

What is the single Clone Chip for?

@krystmanHey krystman, thanks for the feedback. After a few more play test, i found this deck great but too slow. The Supplier gives you a huge potential and there is no problem with money but... the set-up is slow. And i think it doesn't fit well with Quetzal ability. It lacks aggressivity.

Darwin is a great choice for a breaker and i'm working on another Quetzal deck with it as a main breaker.

Inject At first, i said i found it counter productive as a draw engine... but too be honnest, if you wanna be aggressive, it's great.
