I'm 47-1, #1 in Gifted.

Runners are like pawns in chess. They are important, and there are a lot of them, but they only decide the game in conjunction with your heavy pieces.

I dont runner rush unless, very occasionally, my opponent steers me that way, but in my most recent win, I built ALL runners, 7 of 7. It was, however, a 12 turn game, and I used the runners in conjunction with my starting stock of heavy pieces, manuevering very heavily. It wasnt remotely a runner rush, it was a positional crush.

This type of thing is somewhat unusual, but runners definitely make up a consistently high percentage of my buys. They are pawns, its to be expected. Its how you use them in conjunction with your heavy pieces that make for a win or loss.
