Getting Started: Sample Decklists

We have compiled some example decks made using System Gateway and System Gateway + Elevation to give you a starting point for your deckbuilding once you’ve moved beyond the introductory System Gateway Starter Decks. Each of these decks is designed to show off the theme and playstyle of the identity card it is based on, and a taste of the broad variety of playstyles possibly in Netrunner. However, they are only a starting point, and only a taste of the variety of deck archetypes that are possible, so feel free to use them as the basis for experimentation and tweaking!

The System Gateway-only decks were created by Grey “CritHitD20” Tongue, lead designer on System Gateway. The System Gateway + Elevation decks were designed by Phi aka Girometrics, Game Development and Startup Curation Teams member. Below each deck you’ll find a link to its NetrunnerDB entry, where the author provides more information on how to play each one.

We hope that these decks will provide a fun starting point for your Netrunner journey, and provide the inspiration for your own deckbuilding! When you are ready to expand from the Core Sets to the larger Startup or Standard formats, check out our Supported Formats page to see which sets are included in those card pools and whether any bans or other deckbuilding restrictions apply!
