Shadowrun TCG, Or, There's too many card types, how I make deck? Options

[ggodo]

Ok, I recently bought two 'starter decks' and a booster box of the old defunct Shadowrun TCG, and have run into an issue. I can't figure out how to make a functional deck out of the bits I have. I've read the rules completely twixe, and it sounds well designed from a gameplay standpoint, but the starter decks were two random piles of cards, one of which wasn't even legally playable. I turn to the only people who may be able to help: Dumpshock. Also, is it just me or are the rarites for the cards pretty screwed up? Skillsofts are commons but the chipdecks that let you use them are uncommon or rare depending on rating. Deckers seem like they could be cool, but they require so many cards to be effective, Mages get some cool stuff, but only they get their stuff. if not for the occasional thing requiring a mage or decker I'd say screw'em and run all riggers and Sams, but I really don't know how to create a balance in this game.

Help me Dumpshock, you're my only hope.
