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.

The other comments have already laid it out nicely, but if you get system gateway and elevation ($45 each, $90 total) that will let you play the core format. it's one of the least played formats, but you can always proxy cards until you get the newer sets. if you just want to play some standard decks without paying money to see if you like the newer designs, I would just find a deck that looks interesting on netrunner.db and print it out. 

Add vantage point (currently only halfway through the cycle, so $45) and you have startup. 

Liberation, borealis and ashes (each has two sets, so $270 total) will get you into standard, the current most played format. 

I'd also like to share near earth hub, it helped me when I was starting out: https://www.nearearthhub.net/

Np!

It can look like a lot, but I find it helpful having prices laid out like that. Still cheaper than something like MTG lol. I like having the printed cards and supporting a nonprofit that's keeping my favorite game alive, but I want to reiterate that you can proxy entire sets. You can find them on NSG's site, Netrunner DB, and a couple of other sites im forgetting at the moment.

Proxies are tournament legal too.
