Played my first netrunner session in quite awhile today, tried out Reina(which had an awful economy, especially compared to noise, I think that might be a deck building issue). Tried out Replicating Perfection with Celebrity Gift, and Sundew. Both cards are actually quite nice economy pieces, and performed well, but the actual deck didn't. I need something better to do with my credits. I am probably going to stick to Andromeda / TagnBag Weyland for the upcoming tournament on the 19th. Weyland seems to be working well for me right now so that's something, and it's got a few new toys. I need to test I hope the meta shifts slightly away from Andy by city championships, but I'm going to look to prepare to beat them especially. | ||

I'm practicing on OCTGN as well. I will only be using my decks though  sluggaslamoo on OCTGN | ||

Maybe some new Jinteki ICE and agendas will solve this, but for now they have glaring issues. | ||

I've got an Andy tag-me deck that always does well. And I'm working on a Reina deck that's a little bit different but I would say is at least a tier 2. For corp I only have a competitive HB deck. I'm working on making a jinteki deck that's playable and while it's strong I don't think it's a tournament worthy deck because of how slow it is. But if you want to play against them I'm up for it. PM me with when you're available. | ||

1. Store runs a league, 4 weeks of play and 1 week break. Top 3 in league get to draft Game Night items in draft order. $4 to enter league. 2. Another store does a weekly tournament. 3 rounds, top 2 get prizes (Mat/Datasucker, champ gets to pick which and 2nd takes remainder). One lucky draw Datasucker per week. Adonis for participation. $4 per entry. I can't help but feel that it's incredibly tough to get the Datasuckers when the best option is to slog it out in the weekly Game Nights with 12+ players each time, needing to place 1st (no one ever picks mat) or 3rd and beyond (to qualify for lucky draw) to get the Datasucker. | ||

Weekly tournament, 3-4 swiss rounds, top 1 gets 1 mat, 2/3 gets 1 datasucker unless 1st didn't pick mat, participation adonis. Between 12-16 players, $10 entry. Yes its tough, should be enough motivation to improve | ||

Any tips for getting started? I guess the main issue would be getting used to the rules quickly and card interactions and timings. OCTGN is great but it doesn't enforce the rules strictly/correctly because it can't be perfectly automated. That means you have to know how things work so you can manually fix them when things go wrong or so that you can know how to do things right on the platform. Therefore, my tip is to get familiar with the cards and rulebook first, at least somewhat, before jumping into OCTGN. I listened to a netrunner podcast a couple weeks ago that laboriously went through the entire timing structure of a turn and run to teach the mechanics to new players. That could be helpful to listen to. You probably want to see a game played first and learn the rules beforehand though. I will see if I can find it and link. Summary 1. Read rules 2. Watch a YouTube video to see how the game looks 3. Try a game on OCTGN with just the core decks (labeling your game name as such) 4. Listen to the podcast and look up the cards that they use as examples at the same time With 3 and 4 reversed if you are super disciplined with learning the game rather than trying it. OCTGN has a lot of commands to learn which will hinder your ability to play your first few games. Edit: I don't see it in the descriptions of the December Agenda 7 nor Breaking News podcasts. It is there somewhere but I am not home for a week so I can't check for you. I think it was some smaller podcast but I don't know them all that well yet. Edit2: The aforementioned podcast is Episode 10 of The Netrunomicon. here | ||

Now I found a Hungarian forum for the game, and it seems that there might be a Netrunner group in Budapest. I will try to play offline first if I can. | ||

imp being in my deck, thats been my solution. plascrete works too. but just be aware its gonna cheese you out of a game or two. my local scene (as in both my really local scene and up in nyc where i went to play recently) are both becoming very varied in decks. netdecking has mostly stopped and there are some creative monsters appearing. super cool. gives me a good hope for the future of the game in the tri state area at least. :D | ||
