The decks I have so far:
- The GoGo gang (mentioned in another mail message).
- A rigger deck with a couple of mages in support (my first deck since
I got 4 riggers in the first starter ;-) No drones, but 4 riggers :-) )
- A mage/decker deck (untested)
- A decker/bodyguard deck (just got the cards to finish this one this
weekend so I haven't tested it yet)
I also have a couple of deck ideas:
- Uncle Joe/skillsoft (Well actually until I read that ruling from
Skuzzy. I was going to throw in Uncle Joe with a variety of
skillsofts. I would then use a decker to browse the challenges,
jackin what is needed and head on. Once the challenges have been
sleazed I could use Red Widow's ability to back up Uncle Joe to face
the final requirement on the objective.)
- "The Untouchables" (not a very original name I know ;-) Anyway, this
is going to be based on our SR:RPG characters)
- An AmerIndian deck (w/ Macabre, Ghost Who Walks and some shamans.
Throw in some Iron Lungs and I'm hoping that I'll be able to get the
credit everytime and use the Macabres to draw cards.)
- A rocker deck. (I haven't really used them so far so I figure I
should give them a try. Thrash with Sudden Goblinization shouldn't be
that bad :-) )
I find I tend to prefer runners with stamina over anything else. I
try to choose challenges that either automatically end the run, or
have unusual requirements (preferably demo or leadership since those
seem to be "rare" skills). Objectives I still more or less grab at
random. I might have 1 or 2 geared toward the deck, but the others I
just fill in randomly (probably short sighted on my part). I find I
rely more on gear than specials. Usually I put everything else in the
deck and then fill up to 60 with specials. The one exception so far
was the "go go" deck since the Bar Fights and Riots kind of fit the
theme.
As a final note. Something that I discovered by accident in one of my
games this weekend. Stilleto/Eyekiller ;-) Sorry if it seems
obvious, I just happened to throw both of them in the same deck and it
came up...
Later!
Forrest
