Currently I have 4 decks built and one I am currently working on. An all
female runner deck, a deck built around 3 prime runners, a "Tough
Hurdle" deck (One that slows or stops my opponent 50% to 75% of the
time, and allows me to make it to objectives first....Usually), and a
mage and shaman deck. I am working on an amalgam deck of Mafia and Lone
Star.
Three of the decks are 70 cards or less, but the mage and shaman deck is
86 cards (These are not including objectives, which are usually 7 or 8).

I would like to know about the styles and types of decks that others
have.

Oh, I have noticed and replied to a question about if a rocker can earn
cred from fame (specifically Thrash or Glitz) if they are tapped at the
beginning of the owners turn. Other runners, I'll use Hawkwind for an
example, cannot use their special ability until they are untapped. It
would seem to me that a rocker would in essence be busy and unable to
earn the cred due to being tapped for some other purpose. Personally, I
have rarely seen my opponents use more than 1 or 2 of their rockers to
do more that earn cred. If the rocker was tapped for some reason, then
they would not add that rockers fame to the others for the purpose of
earning cred at the beginning of their turn.

Right now I only have 3 complete decks built. I have a Human Razorhead deck (which I've
posted on here), a Decker/Sleaze deck with silenced Sams and a freaky mage deck built
around Invisibility, Ram, Sleep, Jinx, and combat fetishes (a combat fetish on a runner
with sorcery 1 means that Jinx will work on any roll except a 6) along with a couple of
runner with decent sleaze skills for those challenges that just can't be cast out by a
spell. My mage deck is probably my most consistant winner, but it is vulnerable to
Wanted!s, Bar fights, Drive Bys, and Shurikens. The Human deck is at 64 cards, the Decker
is at 70 and the Mage is hovering around 72, but it sometimes jumps to 75 if I want it to
be in a tourny.

I would have to disagree. YOu can't use Biotech with Hawkwind because it says that she
has to tap to Biotech unless she's on a run (bodyguard opperates the same way). I would
compare fame more to the ability of Tin Man to be pumped up. If for some reason you want
to pump up Tin Man (lets say someone just did 2 Drive By's on him and you need him to
stick around till the end of the turn) you could do this even if he is tapped. The only
abilities that can't be used by a tapped runner are those abilities that require you to
tap.

Also, unless someone is Jadeing your rockers, you should be able to untap before your
credstick phase.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
