Terminal7

Returning fresh in 2015, Nels and Jesse are going to be discussing the major deck archetypes of all seven the game's factions. First up is the Teutonic titan of efficiency Haas-Bioroid and slick, surveilling NBN.

Both corporations has strong fast advance tools that can close out a game in the blink of an eye. But the eponymous bioroids of H-B and some recent new developments at NBN provide both factions some interesting options to secure their agendas and ensure victory is always just out of the runner's grasp.

We gave gone upstalk, into orbit and all the way to the moon. There, we found The Source and have brought it back to earth. Nels & Jesse discuss the concluding, but no less thrilling, data pack in The Lunar Cycle.

Plus, with the holidays coming up, tips are provided on how to give the mostly kingly gift anyone could ever hope to receive- the gift of (learning how to play) Netrunner.

With the Netrunner World Championships finished, All That Remains is for Nels & Jesse to talk to top 16 player Brody Lodmell about his time at Worlds, his decks and what makes Minnesota grocery stores so special. Oh, and something about the newest data pack.

Netrunner is characterized by its diverse and friendly communities, all with their own quirks, tales and personalities. To celebrate this - and the Netrunner World championships this past weekend - Nels & Jesse talk to friends around the world about their local metas, why they are interesting and what makes them excited to play the game.

Nels and Jesse go Up & Over to see what the fourth data pack in the Lunar Cycle has in store. From the unlimited energy at reasonable prices of Blue Sun to the vicious precision of Switchblade to the interesting - yet baffling - Angel Arena, Up & Over is clear that the moon has not given up all of its secrets quite yet.

First Contact is made with the latest data pack in the Lunar Cycle. Nels & Jesse meet a new Anarch with beautiful plumage, touch a fragment of Hades itself and discuss how the world as a cyperpunk dystopia has become one step closer to reality.

People like data because it's simple, honest, specific. It's either 0 or it's 1 and there's nothing in between. While that might be true for individual bits, the best runners knows that in aggregate, data isn't static. It flows and changes, depending on where it lives. Like a raging river, data too has eddies, undertow and currents.

Nels and Jesse explore The Spaces Between this data, looking at the latest data pack in the Lunar Cycle and its introduction of a new type of event- currents. Also discussed is the Overdrive draft set, which includes a number of as-yet unreleased Lunar Cycle cards and how they hint at things yet to come.

Upstalk's release has opened the doors of the Great Glass (Space) Elevator and now Nels and Jesse see what lies at Midway. Will the Near-Earth Broadcast Hub allow NBN to further extend their reach and ability to blitz out agendas? Will Nasir Meidan and his profoundly bizarre but fascinating approach to ICE encourage new styles of play? Head upstalk and find out!

Nels & Jesse are joined by a very special guest this week- Android: Netrunner co-designer Damon Stone. We discuss design process, how theme and mechanics get wedded together in Netrunner and Damon moonlighting as a jet-setting dance instructor.

In two days, Nels & Jesse played 40 games of Netrunner between them ... and they were still hungry for more! In one weekend, Terminal7 hosted their first draft tournament as well as their first post-Honour & Profit standard tournament. These tournaments are examine post-mortem with thoughts on the draft format and what it looks like seeing Jinteki's new hazards and the Criminals new tricks in practice.
