Build a draft deck

FightingWalloon · March 27, 2017, 6:19pm

I recently completed my first draft. Here are the cards I drafted for my Runner deck.

I have already built my deck from these cards, but I’m curious about how other players would construct a 30 card deck out of these choices. What would you pick and why? I’ll post my decklist later if people are interested.

Just money and breakers. Not having multiaccess really hurts that plan though. Still, you can try and keep their remote honest while letting agendas stack in HQ then play/test run sneak door. You can win games that way. Be careful with tri maf though. I’ve seen plenty of people get killed by SEA source/trash tri maf in draft.

Thanks for the list. Yes. I debated hard on the Tri-Maf and the risks. The money is so hard to pass up, though.

I looked super hard at the Refractor and Ghost Runner combo because Torch is so expensive and Peacock so bad. I was worried about it being draw dependent.

I will absolutely make multi-access a higher priority in future drafts.

The nice thing about refractor is that it’s cheap and breaks quandary and enigma without needing stealth. If you get to break something big efficiently with it that’s gravy, if not it will hold you over till you find GB.

Yeah I’m pretty sure this is the best list…

Hemmorage will have to suffice for multi-access. That’s the only weakness here.

Generally speaking you do want to be building for a plan. This draft went for Money + Breakers plan, but part of that plan is multi-access, which this is missing. The More You Know!

(You can also build a runner plan to Remote Lock, usually by way of Stealth. You can also build a Medium Dig/R&D Lock deck that focuses on RDI or Medium and ice destruction to clear R&D, and then to just keep hammering R&D until it gives you the win. Demolition Run, if it’s in the cube, is crucial to that strategy, as is Medium/RDI.)
