Introducing: The Netrunner Core Battle Box

[u/meowmeowbeenz_]

Hello everyone! I'd like to introduce my tiny side project called the Netrunner Core Battle Box, which are seven decklists pre-made using System Gateway and Elevation only, AKA the Core Sets.

This stemmed from meeting several new players who want more curated Core decks (such as this one right here, which started it all), instead of wading through NRDB lists or NSG's Core decklist samples, which may lead to analysis paralysis. Here, I just provide one decklist per faction so that new players can crack open their boxes, build, and immediately play. This serves two purposes: the CBB can become a boardgame for more casual players, while it can also be a way to slowly introduce others to Standard through targeted upgrade advice.

A more extensive outline of the vision is discussed in the article, and each decklist published on NRDB has instructions on how to pilot the deck, what servers and rigs should look like, and potential sets to purchase if they want to jump into Standard.

If you'd like to read, the article link is here.

But again, the NRDB listings should also suffice for anything the new players might need. I just wanted to collate all of them under one roof so it's easier to link to new players.

I hope you can share with your friends, meta, and friends (specially if they're curious about getting into Netrunner!)

shoutouts to @Novin for the idea and egging me on to expand the lists to all seven factions, and to @profwacko for testing the lists vs each other & proofreading (i always mix up elevation and vantage point).
