I've got three decks I've built and playtested posted at my site. For
an Elven/Ancients' deck you may want to eyeball Poisoned Elves II.
As for deck building basics:
Don't go over 70 cards (not counting Objectives).
The formula in the RBT works well. I usually go with 18-20 Runners. 20
Challenges. 7-10 Combined Contacts & Locations. 10 Specials. 10-15 Gear.
Don't have more than two types of "specialists" in a deck: Mages,
Shamans, Riggers or Deckers. You'll suffer from lack of supporting gear.
Combine Objectives that offer bonuses with Challenges that will benefit.
Look for combos between Runners, Gear, Contacts/Location and Specials
but only work in three or so. Too many combos require too many
what-ifs in drawing the cards.
Hope this helps a little.
