Hi,
even with the experience of almost 10 TCG’s and 1 LCG it is very
difficult to build a netrunner deck. Now I have build 2 decks (one with
Ken here and one with Noise). Dont wonder, i only use cards i have (1
core set and 1 times every expansion). Does this deck have a chance on
tournaments? Any surgestions to improve it? Thanks in Advance!

so what am i trying with this Deck? really easy: Runs Runs Runs! That’s what Ken for. Sadly only the first run per turn, but still great. So let’s start with my run events: Account Siphon should help to ruin the con. so this card would be very useful, when he/she has lot’s of money. I’m a bit scared about the 2 tags, but if u say it’s one of the best run events, i trust u and try it out! So next one of my favorite Runs: Demolition Run. The more cards i access the more i can destroy. That’s why the HQ Interface is in my deck. If the con has his/her strongest ice on the outermost position, Inside Job helps to bypass it easily. Legwork is just in to grab all cards of the con, if he/she has less cards at some time. Planned Assault helps me to get the right run, when i need it. Special Order does the same for icebreakers. Last but not least the Running Interference: Like Account Siphon this tries to ruin the con player. RI also allows me to bypass expensive unreeled ice.
the last 3 events help me to get more money (Dirty Laundry and Sure Gamble) or ruin the cons economy/defense (Forged Activation Orders). In this version the Prepaid VoicePAD replaces the Public Terminal. I thought it’s ok to have the money only for Run events, but you are true, the general version is better. The HQ Interface should force the con to place more ice on HQ or play his agendas faster on the remote servers. Why 2 consoles? Cause atm i only own 1 core set. I think i’ll buy 1 or 2 in the next month, but now 1 has to fit. That’s why i use Desperado and doppelgänger. Both work well with Ken’s ability. When i have 2 or more core sets i think i will use 2 Desperados.
Daily Casts and Compromised Employee should help to get more money. CE helps to fight against getting tagged form con too. John Masanori fits well in this build and gets me more cards. Thank for that advice. Sneakdoor Beta helps me to find an easy way to the HQ or forces the con to place ice in front of the archives. So a win-win situation for me At least my Icebreakers. Only 7 this time, hope it’s enough. Corridor and Gordian Blade as u recommend. They have lower costs and are more efficient than my own choose. Cryptis and Femme Fatale should be in the most decks. Easy to use, very effective, but very expensive. They are like jokers. At least Ninja. Ninja should break sentries like Femme Fatale, but at lower costs.
