Public Running version 1

Note: this is all pre-Hollywood. I'll start testing with the new cards shortly.

This is a weird list, so let's start with the basics. Andromeda: Dispossessed Ristie is, and will always be, my "bae". This deck runs a "connections" package, with Hostage tutoring singletons Mr. Li and The Supplier. That means our economy comes from Underworld Contact and of course Sure Gamble. Career Fair is always an excellent choice with Andy because we can play two cards in a single click, making it easier to play down to 5 on that first turn.

On top of that though, we have what I consider the "standard" London Library package, especially in Criminal. Data Folding gives more drip economy, Autoscripter gains our clicks back, e3 Feedback Implants let's us break more than 3 or 4 subs, LLDS Processor saves us a huge amounts of creds with our breaker, Overmind. Femme Fatale is there as a repeatable Inside Job substitute.

But there are a couple more cards in there. Some real jank lurking beneath the surface. Forger, Dorm Computer and Rachel Beckman and Trade-In. Forger doesn't just turn on Armand "Geist" Walker: Tech Lord shenanigans, although my personal opinion is that he can find better consoles anyway. Forger turns on Underworld Contact while simultaneously ruining any corporation tagging. Dyson Mem Chip does the first, Decoy does the latter, but Forger does both.

Of course, your Underworld Contact won't be supplying long if you ditch Forger to every tag you see. That's where Dorm Computer comes in. This card is a beauty. Against Jinteki it "halves" the damage of a Snare! - 2 credits and a click to lose the tag roughly translates to the 3 draws you have to do. That's the power of Snare!: you can't draw up and drop the tag, and you can't do either when you're running last click. With Dorm Computer, you can run last click, and four times as well. That's basically like gaining an extra click against N.E.A.R.P.A.D. type decks or Supermodernism. And when you've emptied the Dorm Computer, or are in a matchup where you don't need it, you can Trade-In. You can wipe those smirks right off the IT Department's faces. Means we can run 1-ofs some of that hardware as well.

The real downside of Dorm Computer is that it's a run effect itself, which while that means you don't have to deal with Enhanced Login Protocol, you can't use any run events, which sucks in any faction but especially in Criminal. Still, with R&D Interface you can still do well enough to make up for the downsides.

So unlike other decks, we don't just shake tags, we never take them in the first place. You know "Tag Me" decks? This is "No Tag Backs". And the best card to abuse when you never get a tag? Rachel Beckman. Against Jinteki Dorm Computer renders her safe, against Weyland it's Forger, and against NBN it's their powers combined, as Data Raven and Gutenberg are neutered while SEA Source sits idly in hand. Got Midseason Replacements instead? Try keeping up with this economy and out trace me. Of course, NBN can score Breaking News: but the singleton Decoy - which can be tutored - combined with Forger deals with that.

Now you should be able to see why I'm using the London Library package: it's really click intensive and Rachel Beckman is the difference between installing two breakers and making a run and installing only one (while getting the breakers back).

The remaining cards:

Utopia Shard fills out influence. I've been thinking about a redundant Beckman though. Any suggestions?

Q-Coherence Chip is a great little number: gives us 1 more Overmind counter late game, allowing us to push through one more piece of ice if we have to, but it's also free unlike the other chips and without Self-modifying Code shenanigans the trashing isn't going to matter.

Breach deals with Wraparound while being influence-free and is great against Curtain Wall, which is where our other breakers falter.
