Yes, much agreement with this. I still have a couple ancient decks of cards for the original WOTC Netrunner and poked in here because I've heard good things about the newer FFG version and wanted more info on how the new version plays, but the OP was nearly impenetrable for someone who hasn't touched the current version (and this is coming from someone who read Neuromancer in grade school when it came out in 1984).

I mostly wanted to know how it plays, mechanically, and is it fixed decks or some kind of make-a-deck game like the old CCG? Seems odd to do deck construction when it's now sold as pre-made boxed sets instead of random packs, but I gather from the rest of the posts on the first page that you do customize the decks, sooo...

What the fixed packs mean is that you get a playset of every card in the set, they're not premade decks.

Is there a bad card that Smoke has shown up on/been related to? I feel like the worst is Dai V, and even that isn't like, actively awful, and otherwise it's just straight good stuff.

I've never heard of anyone playing LLDS Energy Regulator

What exactly makes first responders so much better than, say, guru davinder?

2 credits is overpriced for draw though so if you're not using it to to prevent a kill it seems pretty bad. And the only kind of kill it has an advantage against is jinteki kill with lots of little net damage, which isn't that big of a deal to start with? (as opposed to decks which use net damage as a tax, where paying 2 credts/card is a bad deal anyway)

Nah, 2 credits a click is a really high ratio which takes a lot of investment to get repeatedly as a runner. Sure gamble is a really strong econ card because it lets you do that twice (well, 4 for a card and a click) with the extra drawback of needing 5 to start with.

To make this worth using as regular draw as opposed to kill protection you need to be getting more than two credits per click, repeatedly.
