Runners received 16 new cards in the second Reboot booster: Mind and Mayhem. Of these, 11 are original to the Reboot Project ... and many of these land in the Anarch faction, which receives the spotlight in this pack by gaining a new identity and other tools. But all the other factions (even the minifactions) also get some brand new tools. Presented in seven segments:

This episode is the first of two covering the second 30-card booster for the Reboot Project: Mind and Mayhem. Unlike the first booster, which was balanced across factions, this one focuses more heavily (though not completely) on one faction for each side. For the Corps, that faction is Haas-Bioroid, which gets eight cards added to its pool, while the other three factions only get two each. In amongst these 14 cards are 9 Reboot originals, which we will cover in full-depth. Presented in seven segments:

Rather than shoehorn all of this timely news and information into another episode, we're putting it out in a shorter one. We'll cover the spoilers for the brand-new booster pack -- New Normal -- as well as the latest patch notes (all buffs this time). Finally, we'll wrap up with a winter Worlds report, including a writeup of my own middle-performing Cybernetics Division deck. Presented in three segments:

Work has gotten in the way of producing new episodes this month, so rather than being later and later with each episode, it makes sense just to take a quick break and get back on schedule come January 10. But, hey: Don't miss out on Reboot Winter Worlds, coming December 14!

After reviewing a conversation that lays the groundwork for our analysis of the preconstructed decks, we'll examine one of those decks -- HB Fast Advance -- in depth. We'll also dig into the archives for the third part of Elusive's series on The Skills of Netrunner, focusing on the different types of decks. Presented in four segments:

As was true for the Runners, the Corps each received two original cards in Reflections -- the first booster for the Reboot Project. We'll cover each of those cards in depth, along with analyzing the eight cards that were imported from the latter half of the FFG cardpool, closing with a card that was and then was not... Presented in nine segments:

Having reached the end of the primary portion of the Fantasy Flight cardpool, we now accelerate closer to the present to start looking at the booster packs for the Reboot Project. The first one, Reflections, brings in eight Runner cards from the latter half of the FFG cardpool ... and also adds in 6 original Runner designs that are exclusive to Reboot. We'll delve into all of that in this oversized episode. Presented in eight segments:

Data and Destiny concludes the Reboot Project portion of the FFG cardpool. Before moving forward in the podcast, we take a walk down memory lane. In this episode: an overview of the remainder of the cardpool, its competitive scene, and the eventual demise of the game -- including multiple perspectives on why a seemingly-successful game was ultimately allowed to end. Presented in one big segment:

As has become tradition of late, we'll take a look at a deck for each of the new identities that arrived for the Runners in Data and Destiny. In two of the cases, we have not only writeups by the deck authors but also a review of the deck by a blog at the time; in the third case, I'll present a deck of my very own from the past and subject it to a more current analysis. Presented in six segments:

Part two of the Runner analysis of Data and Destiny sees us looking at a few of the buffs that the Reboot Project has made. As usual, we'll also analyze the new breakers and economy cards (including a truly bad one ... and a truly janky deck trying to make it work), plus some of the flavor references the designers and developers may have included.
