You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
Well, the Jinteki league is getting me back into NR. I stopped playing when Faust was whizzarding all over the meta, so it's cool to come back and see all that poo poo's gone.

Someone tell me how my new Smoke deck sucks.

How's Enforced Curfew in PU? I'm trying to decide if/how I want to make room for a counter-current, and there's unfortunately no way I have influence free for Housekeeping unless I cut down to literally just a single Ark Lockdown and a single point of Inf leftover.

Discord's currently making GBS threads the bed, so I'll ask here. Can I get some advice on how to make my janky Alice deck work better?

That's what I get for not reading Dummy Box correctly.

Actually I don't because Sacrificial Clone isn't worth playing.
Unless you're Apex, because you're already at maximum jank.

Apex is like catnip to me because I am the ultimate Johnny and I will make it work somehow because the flavor is so good
There's an almost-decent T2 Apex, uses the Chopbot/Wasteland/Heap Breakers econ engine.

Ready to play irl this Sunday at a gnk, but no idea what runner to play (Corp is ctm bullshit), someone sell me on something that isn't shaper bullshit
Or, if you want to actually win a game or two, Mill Alice. Alice running Maw and Hacktivist Meeting can get up to some hilarious shenanigans.

Edit: Pro Tip: Run Archives Interface so you don't get your face blown off by Breached Dome.

You could throw a curveball, play Sunny or Apex. This looks like a pretty fun Apex deck, and this Sunny deck made it to top 40 in worlds.

So, the worst corp? Either HB: Custom Biotics (if you mean worst ID) or Harishchandra Entertainment (for worst ID of the worst faction)
I don't think it counts as Apex unless it's really cool conceptually and just really hard to pull off. To which I'd say Nisei Division psi-games deck. Hell, The Future Perfect and Marcus Batty are actually good cards.

Edit: And against poor decks, you might actually hit the prophesied point where they can't afford to keep up with your constant psi-games.

Edit2: Then to be even more of a shithead, you can include things like Miraju and Mind Game and Kitsune and just get really cute about forcing them to take a billion damage to the face.

Edit3: Here's some jank I just threw together in 10 minutes. Somebody actually good at this game could probably make it suck less, but it does follow the noble Apex tradition of being better in basically any other identity.

Some of the cards in the cores and the first two cycles are getting reprinted in the Revised Core, so they'll still be legal.

I could see it being restricted, but I don't want it banned.

Revised Core will be a good way to get into it. Just look up some good 1 Core decks once you know how to play because the default are very... unfocused.

You could try to salvage the storyline from Terminal Directive!

The coming of Apex could be part of the 23 seconds or it's own thing.
Apex would work so much better as a Legacy boss, give it a big pre-installed setup, and you could even do it with a "Corp" deck for hacking into its systems to try and disable it from the inside.

Edit: gently caress it, I might even throw some homebrew poo poo together for Corp Apex as a faction when I get home tonight. Would anybody be interested in helping me playtest some nonsense like that?

Big Ongoing Edit: I've been thinking about concepts and I think an idea I like is that most of the Apex faction cards are either dark mirrors of existing cards (representing it stealing and co-opting the ideas) or unadapted cards from Old Netrunner (something something ancient archives).

Identity ideas:

Apex, Engineering Perfection
45/25
Whenever the Runner trashes a Trap, you may pay (2). If you do, deal 1 net damage, trash the top card of the stack, and removed the trashed trap from the game.

Apex, The Message
45/15
Advertisements cost no influence and are always in-faction.

Apex, Vichi
50/25
The first time each turn you install a card, draw a card.

I'll probably also include a no Sys Ops clause, though I'm considering an agenda that could overrule that.
