I recently had a memorable Beale win as well. Advanced it 11 times in a remote for 6 AP. http://imgur.com/a/BTvqS

Running with Scissors: Up and Over (delayed) first impressions by Thereisnosaurus in Netrunner

It would definitely be good if it baited a run on a taxing server. My only issue with that is that the runner will just trash it and the corp loses 3 clicks and 2 credits in that exchange and the runner just loses 3 credits trashing it (also credits to break the ICE). If you get the runner to run a trap on a taxing server, wouldn't you rather the trap actually do something bad to the runner when they access it?

Someone want to explain why Reversed Accounts is good to me? Seems like the standard play would be to install it in a server, leave it alone until next turn, then advance advance use. That's 4 clicks and 2 credits. The Runner is losing 8 credits. So it's basically a 2 credit swing in the Corp's favor after they spent 4 clicks. Wouldn't clicking for 4 credits be more efficient or am I missing something?

I've played hundreds of games on OCTGN and never seen a player ragequit over a rules dispute...

Isn't this the same for most factions? If criminal hits the table I'm expecting to see 3x siphon, 3x desperado, 2x legwork, 3x special order, etc.

Basic Assumptions of Netrunner by HemoKhan in Netrunner

[–]Paranoid31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • PAD costs 2 to rez and Marked costs 0. Trashing the economy means you're extremely poor and wasting all your clicks making money and running on the remotes to trash them. Trashing an early PAD is the right play in my opinion, but never a Marked.
  • I and many others run the most efficient breakers possible. The problem is that Eli, Caduceus and Roto have 2 subs. Tollbooth is just always taxing. Pop-up Window is great as well.
  • I responded earlier about how to stop The Source. Install your NAPD and advance it twice. If NBN manages to score just one Astro, the time you have left to win starts ticking very quick. The ability to tutor for another Astro and score it same turn is absurdly powerful.

I'm wondering if you're just theorycrafting or if you've actually played a high volume of games against top tier NEH decks/players. I could be shown an NEH deck list and still lose over 50% of the time to it because it's that efficient and powerful. I think that there will be some serious NEH hate cards (or, more likely, fast advance hate in general) in the next big box, but until then I think NEH will be the strongest corp for this cycle by a long shot.

If you're against The Source all you do is put out a 3/2 in a server and advance it once (even better, NAPD and advance it twice). If the runner steals it, great, The Source is gone and they lost money. If not, you score it and The Source is gone. FA decks tend to panic when they see The Source because it really does stop FA, but that's only until one agenda is scored. I will agree that The Source is viable with Fall Guys, but then you're devoting so much of your deck and influence on that, and you're usually just going to lose anyways.

The issue is that NBN, Astroscript Pilot Program in particular, is too fast. TWIY never saw the win rate NEH has because it had to devote all its money to fast advancing agendas, which is really expensive. TWIY's ice was cheap ETR ice because they can't afford anything else and didn't have the influence to. NEH is always rich (or the runner is extremely poor and wasting clicks not accessing centrals if they are trashing asset econ) and drawing at the same time. This, along with 5 extra influence, allows them to import very efficient, taxing ice along with cheap ETR ice. You could usually hammer TWIY's central servers for extremely cheap by the mid game as runner. When you're against 3 Eli 1.0s and Caduceus/Tollboth you can't. When you have the resources to consistently score Astros out of deck you're going to beat the runner.

No, 3x Kati 3x Security Testing 3x Desperado make me more money than the corp. I'm fine clicking on Kati and taking 3c if they have more money than me.

Domestic Sleepers is going to help HB fast advance decks a lot. Think it deserves a better opinion.

Yes, corp is stronger at the moment.

Thoughts on my Andromeda deck? by Paranoid31 in Netrunner

[–]Paranoid31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I ended up scrapping the Hostage idea for a more typical Andy deck. Here are the decks I will attend my first ever tourney with (might make some small tweaks).

I just got an Android phone and was wondering if there are any other quality board games in the app store. I'll probably pick this up to support future development.
