Please see my Thread "A Challenge for Deck Builders" in the Metagame section of the forums for context.

Remember the goals are simple, beginner friendly, easy to play, all decks similar strength.

These are the default Corp decks from MWS. I think they are a bit unbalanced because of too much emphasis on "flavor". For example I think the Big Ice deck would be hard for a beginner to play because it has no cheap "early game" ice.

All decks are credited to Greg Dglas Teed. Thanks to Malhavoc for the pointer to MWS.

Deck 5 is a 1/15 Speed Corp (Psycho Tycho) which I don't think is suitable for a beginner/casual player's set, even in the 1/15 form. I think NetRunner has already lost enough players to metagame poisoning due to Psycho Tycho already

Yeah, I liked that idea, too. That and kit-bashing! However, I spiced up the recipes with my own ideas. They made the intro decks more fun. Keep in mind that these didn't include any Classic commons, which I think should count, even if by proxy.

I like IONDragonX's proposed new builds for the default decks and have already updated mine to reflect his builds.

However, his version of "Minimum Wage" deck is illegal because it contains 48 cards and only 18 agenda points. To fix it, I propose dropping one Fire Wall, one Bolter Cluster, and one Corporate Shuffle.

Could someone please post a short description of the play strategy for each of the decks above? I'd like to use these to start teaching the game, and I want to make sure I'm giving the right guidance. Thanks!
