Spoiler: Weyland (Core only)
Not sure if I want to run Hunter or Shadow. Hunter is cheaper-rez and higher strength off the bat. Shadow is lower initial strength and higher rez-cost, but it could be stronger if necessary, lets me bluff between having this and Ice Wall (esp since esurio knows my decklist), and nets me credits if it gets run on.
still going to try out the other two factions, and I'll do some reading of my own when I have time, but anyone have suggestions for expansions they liked? preferably ones with good neutral cards I guess. I've already ordered a 1x set of the 2x-coreset-cards because I didn't feel like buying a second coreset, so at least I'll have playsets of everything minus the 'rares'. might need to buy another one eventually for things like SanSan and Desperado, plus it'd be easier to have multiple decks built without repeatedly de-sleeving and changing cards but eh
my favorite Corp decks have been Weyland (see above) and HB. Jinteki's fun but coreset-only seems really weak. Gabriel/Criminal is my favorite runner. esurio prefers Runner and seems to have liked Gabe. prefers Kate/Shaper but doesn't like her coreset cards much. she's liked HB best but has only played that and Jinteki so idk
