2.1: A Netrunner Reboot Project Podcast

After the release of Honor & Profit, Jinteki received sufficient tools to make a shell-game, net-damage deck successful. We'll look at the deck that archetype that Chris Hinkes popularized in his win at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, regional in the summer of 2014 ... which was subsequently piloted by Minh Tran to a runner-up finish at Worlds in 2014. Presented in seven segments:

Most of the stealth options are available for Runners upon reaching First Contact, and we'll analyze those cards and the other changes made by the Reboot Project to this third Data Pack in the Lunar Cycle. In addition, we'll take a look at representation in Netrunner through the new Anarch identity in this pack: Quetzal. Presented in eight segments:

We are now reaching the halfway point of the Lunar Cycle, and in this episode we'll examine the Corp side of the third Data Pack: First Contact. We'll also cover the first in a series of Anonymous Tip segments designed to help intermediate players improve, plus explore a detour in the development of Prepaid Kate. Presented in seven segments:

Fresh off the presses are the notes for a new balance patch going into effect, mostly targeting booster cards. We'll also take a brief look at Notorious Daily Quester, a Silhouettehttps://discord.gg/c8SB7vVVy7 regional-winning deck, and continue our exploration of Prepaid Kate. Presented in four segments:

The Corps weren't the only ones to get currents, as each Runner faction also receives one in The Spaces Between, which we will explore in this episode. We'll also discuss just how good Cache and D4vid are, plus cover some of the basic -- yet complex -- interactions that can arise when dealing with priority in a paid-ability window. Presented in ten segments:

A brand new subtype is introduced to the game in the second Data Pack of the Lunar Cycle: current. These operations and events have a longer-lasting effect than others of the same type, and we'll explore current operations along with the rest of the Corp side of The Spaces Between. We'll also look at some suggestions for how to deal with agenda flood based on which Runner you're facing, and continue our exploration of the development of the Prepaid Kate deck. Presented in eight segments:

An important archetype that arrived on the Netrunner scene near the end of the Spin Cycle was a taxing Haas-Bioroid deck with fewer-than-usual agendas. The popularized version of it was presented by user Nordrunner and was dubbed "The Red Coats." We will look at the discussion revolving around this deck ... while also still making time to check in on the other deck that we've been covering (Prepaid Kate). Presented in four segments:

This week's episode revolves largely around two extended pieces of analysis. One is from SimonMoon, a high-level player in the latter-FFG period, and the other is an extensive writeup of a successful Shaper deck with Nasir Meidan. Presented in four segments:

Climbing alongside the last episode is the Runner side of the first Data Pack in the Lunar Cycle (Upstalk). We'll see how some of these somewhat-underwhelming cards have been made a little more palatable by the Reboot Project. We'll also get some comments from Klerik and TheBigBoy about why Netrunner isn't as combotastic as other card games, plus continue our look at the development of the powerful Prepaid Kate deck from 2014. Presented in eight segments:

Like an elevator car ascending arrow-straight out of The Root at Volcán Cayambe, we head Upstalk in the first pack of the third cycle of cards in Android: Netrunner to examine the buffs (and one nerf) that the Reboot Project makes to the Corp cards, and look closely at the five pieces of ice included. This comes after some bits of news -- including how you can access a bonus episode of the podcast! -- and some suggestions from TheBigBoy on good decks for absolute beginners. Presented in nine segments:
