I’m just going to ignore the rotation and make decks out of the cards I’ve got
I know it’s not meant to be turned into a board game but with official support going away and a wife that’s suuuuper not into the deck building aspect but loves the game itself I think I can build a deck or two for each faction from the cards that I inherited, tweak them myself as we play, and still have a great time
Maybe it won’t be the most balanced thing ever but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s too much of a shame to ignore half the cards I just got, and playing Sunny is still fun!
You can just buy the World Championship winning decks for the last 3 years, FFG sold them as complete decks with special pretty art cards. They're all completely full of banned cards but if you don't care about that and are just looking for strong preconstructed decks they should serve you well.

Yeah I saw those earlier today! Which ones would you recommend picking up? I’m not really a fan of gimmicky decks, I think it’s more fun to have a strong all-around deck that can adapt to the circumstances.

They can provide interesting experiences as paired decks
2016 (Whizzard vs CtM) are probably the best balanced play experience and most similar to 'normal' netrunner play patterns as you would find the core sets. Both are well over the power curve for standard decks. The runner deck has a lot neutral staples you'll use in all your runner decks.
2017 (Hayley vs CI) are good but very intricate decks that probably aren't great for newer players - messing up the plays can be a real feels bad moment (famously in the semi-finals Wilfy (the 2017 champion) took a 14 click turns with the CI...and its not even a combo deck, you can just use its tools for crazy plays). Again the runner deck is good for picking up neutral staples you'll use in all your runner decks.
2015 (EtF vs Valencia) - Etf is a sold deck that I actually would recommend for new players (though you'll learn why caprice rotating ). It plays a standard netrunner game plan. The runner deck is a hideously degenerate negative play experience deck that caused cards to be immediately errated. I would not recommend it at all unless you want the cards.
In order as individual decks:
2016 Whizzard and/or 2017 Hayley (depending on if you like anarch or shaper more)
2015 Engineering the Future
2016 Controlling the Masses / 2017 Cerebral Imaging (if you like NBN or HB more)
...
2015 Valencia
You know, the more I look at it... the more I like Crowdfunding? With Underworld Contacts gone (aaaaaaaaaaaaargh), I'm thinking about maybe splashing one or two in my Sunny deck. The 0-cost is very nice, and I can probably easily hit that three-run target with Jak.

It'll wane a bit in a meta with more glacier, but currently it's super strong to the point of being splashed in Val decks atm (though idk if it's worth 9 influence)

Initial results from Lauriepalooza indicate Val with 3 crowdfunding is both best Val and best deck. Current glacier is crumpling to it.

Anarch not really needing influence to work (as evinced by the fact that Val can spend 10 influence on Crowdfunding and Rebirth, none of which are necessary to make the deck work) continues to be an argument for best runner faction.
PU banned.
Crowdfunding and Dorm Computer (yes, really) restricted.
Play vs the try-hard Haley with any tag based strategy (ie all of nbn and most weyland) and you'll see how dorm computer is the capstone in that decks invulnerability.
Also, next week the spoiler season for Downfall, the first half of Ashes, starts.
Downfall itself should be out March 18'th.
Not saying I’ve really seen it myself, but that hayley deck is real strong vs the enter NBN faction so if the MWL peeps say its too good in competitive hands I believe ‘em.
We get some semi-scoops on there, since you get a first look at the new Crim runner (no wonder your mom loves a program more than you, she's disappointed you're blue), and a bit of the NBN ID?
Also interesting that it looks like they're putting base MU directly on the runner ID's from here on out. That... makes a lot of sense, actually.

Buff to Chaos Theory! I'm really happy at the templating and wording clean up that's going on with the new cards.
EDIT: And for the runners across the pond, they announced the Euros Championship 2019. Will be taking place on the 31st of May (Day 1) and 1st of June (Day 2) at the UK Games Expo in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
