No crypsis? 3x djinn seems exessive Wyrm might be worse than you think: You cannot use the middle ability on ice you don't match the strength with, so using wyrm to kill a parasited wall of static (str 3) will cost 5 credits

Pretty decent core set deck though, and welcome!

Hello and welcome!

With that breaker suite (4MU if everything is installed), you almost certainly want the extra MU that Grimoire provides, so you can install Djinn and parasites.

I prefer to have fewer icebreakers (usually 2) and then some Special Order if needed. Also you might want some protection against Scorched, in case you can't keep him poor enough all the time with those Siphons. In core this means Crash Space and Decoys.

Using influence for special order doesn't seem like a priority. I think spending the influence on economy cards is quite sensible, but it is similar to the crypsis question: having an early game answer to everything. Scorch will be a problem if playing more competitive, but for tabletop you can just chose not to play against that particular deck.

And grim (while I agree that is a very good card in this deck) doesnt give MU for djinn. Its not a virus ;)

Hey guys, thanks so much for the comments! I'm fairly new to card games in general and have only ever played a single demo game of Netrunner, so this is a bit of a sandbox deck.

The Djinn are there mostly for redundancy in allowing me to search for Viruses and make sure I have what I need. Scorch is a problem I'm seeing in core. I want to play Tag-Me style, so I'll suffer through the weakness until I can get a few expansions.

Aesop's Pawnshop seems like a good splash to clear up excess stuff later on, but Crash Space does seem like a higher priority. I want to include everything, but.... I suppose that's netrunner problems.
