    I put my Corp Identities in Purple Sleeves with the Corp Actions and Corp Click Tracker cards. I put my Runner Identities in Green Sleeves with the Runner Actions and Runner Click Tracker cards.

     

    I find that other players don't bother with these cards, so you can probably get them from your fellow Netrunner players.

     

    I find them useful as a place for storing my Unspent Clicks and Credits.

    @all who suggest "playing a Runner once"

    My personal stubborness will not allow me that without ONE solid corp victory under my belt. I just want to proof to me that I can pull that off.

     

    Think of it as research.

     

    Oh, and the other reason it's a good idea to play as Runner is that if *you* win 100% of the time as Runner, then you've definitely got something wrong in the way you're playing this game. Have you guys watched any Netrunner podcasts for tips?

    Generally speaking, when one side always wins, you're probably playing it wrong. Common errors that lead to Corp losses include:

     

    1. Paying Rez Cost when Installing Cards

    2. Trashing ICE when subroutines are broken

    3. Trashing ICE when Agendas are scored/stolen

    4. Giving the Runner a free draw + four Clicks every turn

    5. Forgetting to shuffle HQ when the Runner Accesses (allowing a clever Runner player to be able to guess where the Agendas are).

     

    Also, you need a turn at Runner. Maybe you are losing because you don't understand how he's doing what he's doing, and once the tables are turned, you'll be better able to keep him out. The gameplay usually goes through three phases:

     

    1. Free Running. Servers have little, if any, defenses. The Runner usually needs at most one breaker.

    2. Lockdown. The Corp has enough ICE that the Runner can only rarely get into Servers. Note the ICE doesn't always have to be Rezzed -- two mystery ICE on a Server is frequently a much bigger threat than one Unrezzed ICE.

    3. The Grind. The Runner has all breakers out and their economy is humming. All servers are vulnerable given enough time.

     

    Note that only one of these phases -- Lockdown -- favors the Corp. That's the only time you can expect to keep the Runner out. The rest of the game, you have to keep the Runner busy running where the Agendas aren't.

     

    Also, are you aware that Adonis Campaign and Eve Campagin are Assets and not Agendas?

    I understand it's desirable to have 2-3 core sets, but how many of each expansion pack would someone need? Is one of each expansion enough? How many of the deluxe expansions would I need?

    Sorry if this is a redundant question but my searches only came up with 2-3 core boxes, nothing on the other packs.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    One of each expansion is enough for one person to have any one Runner Deck and any one Corp Deck (this is also true for the Deluxe Expansions). If you're the kind of person who likes to have multiple different decks and play the game from a variety of angles, you may find some cards (such as Plascrete Carapace and Jackson Howard) that you want to put into multiple decks, which may lead you to buy additional copies of those expansions.
