There have been some interesting topics as of late, but I would like to
know more about what types of decks people play. I myself play decks
that lean towards sleezing challenges than brute force, although as of
late I have made a bruiser deck to play.

I like the virus counters brought in when Underworld came out. Bio-Lab
Raid, Genetic Monstrosity, and Spreading The Disease are great cards.
These cards and rockers are what I built my latest deck around.

I would like to hear about decks that people have played, and any
insights that people may have come up with from gameplay.

My favorite deck would have to be my Mafia/Yakuza deck.

I also like the Virus tokens that Underworld presented....and I've come up
with 2 additional Challenge cards at my website to add to the mix of them.
"Devil Rats" and "Contaminated Zone" as sorta proxy cards, so to say.
However, my favorite deck to play is the Rigger Deck I created with all
Objectives restricting Indoor Challenges. Though, I don't get to play as
much anymore....it'll probably alwayz be my fave cuz of the Dwarves and
Drones.

I have played a few different decks in my short playing career.

My first: A melee deck - Stompers and Katanas,
My second: A skills sleaze deck - my favourite,
My third: An armor deck - every runner had armor and items for armor.

I have also made a rigger deck which I haven't had the chance to use yet.
I've also toyed with ideas for a Lone Star/Mafia deck.

As an aside for some of the other topics that have been discussed recently:

We usually play 100 rep games whether 2, 3, 4, or 5+ players.

We play that Media Chick is not pumpable but if you get more than one out
you can use each of them. Why not have four news stations cover the run?
Kinda balances out with the fact that you have to get more cards out to get
more rep., and you have to pay the starting cost for each Media Chick.

Liked someone's idea (can't remember who, sorry ;) ) about Torgo only
getting 1 AP damage per nuyen vs elves rather than his current kill elves
ability.

Anyway thats my 2¥.

Regards,
Adrian.

I've tried to come up with a good Yak deck to no avail. What does
this one look like, and how does it work?
