- Slumscast Ep. 23 | Worlds 2021 Least Accurate Predictions (feat. Andrej of Metropole Grid)
The Netrunner World Championships are fast approaching. Who will win? What decks will outperform their expectations? What will be the sickest play of Worlds? We don't know any of those things, but Andrej (of Metropole Grid fame) joins us in distributing some takes so hot they shouldn't be street-legal, and some takes so tepid they shouldn't be Slumscast-legal.
Also on this episode: how to create bad Netrunner content, and why it's important; the worst decks ever played at Worlds; and our first-ever listener mailbag segment, kind of.

2 hr - Slumscast Ep. 22 | Community Happenings
We discuss recent events in the Netrunner community, their impact, and our thoughts moving forward. We can't promise any spicy takes or wacky segments this time around -- though we can promise at least a few funny moments -- since we have more serious matters to discuss. Topics include:
- Recent moderation policy clarifications in Stimslack
- Whiteblade
- A heartfelt thank you to Jade
LINKS
We discuss the following decklist writeups and videos as part of the Whiteblade topic:
- Blamechanger
- America Val
- Inspiration for America Val writeup (with captions)

1 hr 19 min - Slumscast Ep. 21 | Slum-inal Transubstantiation (feat. tzeenchling)
The 2021 Off the Grid World Championships are in the books, and one Netrunner player has emerged above all others (except for one person): Kris, aka tzeenchling. We're here to dissect his historic almost-win, from the unexpected decks he chose to the corps he put in prison to the ankles he broke along the way. We also uncork our usual cask of hot takes, including the truth that no one wants to hear about the meta; unveil the first-ever Bad Card Of Forever That's Always Bad And You Should Never Play It; and officiate the triumphant return of the Slumscast segment that fans have clamored over for months.

1 hr 48 min - Slumscast Ep. 17 | 21.06 Ban Slums List (feat. Ajar)
Have you ever wondered why the Slumscast hasn't been banned, or at least errata'd to limit one per deck? Join us and @ajar as we discuss the Standard Ban List and how metagames are shaped! We also put an entire format on blast and dig into the history of one of the game's most recognizable decks.
NOTE: This episode was recorded before the 21.06 ban list released, and we do not discuss its contents.

1 hr 44 min - Slumscast Ep. 16 | Now 106.5% SBV (feat. Ed)
Have you ever listened to the Slumscast and thought, "This sounds great, I just wish they were less coherent and the jokes were less well thought out"? If so, we have excellent news for you: the booziest episode of the Slumscast yet, starring @Ed, has arrived. We discuss: rating beer by completely normal categories like Palana-ness; serving food to Netrunner characters; and perhaps most importantly, the spiciest ships in the entire Netrunner lore.

1 hr 46 min - Slumscast Ep. 15 | The Slumback Kid (feat. DanB)
We've avoided justice for long enough, but it looks like the chickens have come home to roost: this week, we are once again joined by DanB, who is here to explain the numerous moral and financial failings of the Slumscast. We also discuss how to recruit new players to play Netrunner with you, explore the most powerful ways to flex on your opponent, and unveil the spiciest Bad Card Of The Week That's Still Bad And You Still Shouldn't Play It we've ever unveiled.

1 hr 29 min - Slumscast Ep. 14 | Single-Sided Slums (feat. Ysengrin)
Throughout the history of Slumscast, one question has followed us at every turn: can you 241 episodes of the Slumscast? This week, we answer with a resounding "it's not game theory optimal and it's logistically quite complicated, so yes" as we discuss single-sided swiss with none other than Ysengrin. We also put our own usernames on blast, discuss how much influence GRNDL really should have, and drop some very thoroughly classified scoops.
