[VSC3] FixedBreaker-Loup

How to play

• As the ID ability suggests: you want to be trashing stuff a lot. You will need the extra draw that the ID ability provides, to ensure that you get to your tools quickly.
• Don't hesitate about playing The Price. You'll be discarding cards, which may feel like you're losing tools, but you should be focusing on getting the right tool for the moment. Additionally, if you discard a Strike Fund, then you'll get money and the card you need at the moment.
• Use Finality as a pressure tool, not as a thing to throw out randomly. Best is to use it when the Corp is investing their resources in a different server than R&D, making it clear that they can't defend both R&D and whatever other server they've put a lot of cards into. Keep your eyes on their credits and their board to know when to strike!
• Imp is your best friend! You get to trash for free, but also trash things which you normally can not trash! This means you can trash things like operations and agendas. Trashing agendas could be useful if the agenda has an extra cost to steal that you can not fulfil, but you don't want the Corp to score the agenda.
• Carnivore eats a lot of cards, so use it mainly in difficult situations. The extra memory helps with the viruses that you'll be installing.
• Mimic will break some sentries, but it will need the help of Leech is a lot of times (Ice Carver will help too). Getting Leech down is generally a very useful, as it will save you a lot of money during your runs.

About [VSC]

The [VSC] decks are versioned collections of decks that are all built for a particular physical card pool:

• 2 x System Gateway
• 2 x System Update 2021
• 2 x Parhelion
• 2 x The Automata Initiative

Full list of cards: NRDB search for the card pool

Therefore, each iteration of the [VSC] decks (this being the third iteration, first published) comes as a collection of decks, to ensure that one can actually build all the decks with the physical card pool.

This particular iteration of [VSC] was going to be used for a "Learn to play Netrunner" event. Therefore, some choices were made to have the decks be on the side of beginner friendliness, or at least avoiding NPE cards/combos. It was also fine if the decks were not tournament material. In fact, if the decks were a bit weaker, but showcase the character of a faction then that was actually better.
