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.
