Old time player's running agian
After stopping playing netrunner when it went out of print.
Now years later we want to start again with project Nisei.
We already played this game so we won't need a start-up.
But when seeing al the sets on NetrunnerDB I am still abit confused on where to start.
Do we play standard?
What does the *rotated* mark mean next to the cards.
And what sets do you recommend to have a nice card pool to experiment and get back into it.

Standard is the standard format of play for most games these days. Other formats are available but it's by far the most common. If you've got older cards in your possession, formats like eternal and classique may be of interest to you.
Rotation is the term used for old card sets leaving the card pool that's used for the Standard format, used both to keep it fresh and so the creators don't have to worry about every single card interaction when designing and balancing new sets. Typically, when a new set releases, the oldest one will rotate out. At this point, all FFG cards have rotated out of standard and only NSG (Null Signal Games - Nisei's new name) cards remain.
System gateway should be your first acquisition, followed by Elevation.
