>Question of the day
Are there any cards from Sansan and before that you see getting Data Dealer Syndrome? That is, are there any old cards do you think will become (even) more useful as Mumbad unfolds?

OP last updated on March 22nd, 2016.
Updated the OP to incorporate the other Anon’s suggestions and points. I didn’t see much point in showing it until it was time for a new thread.
Changes and notes:
Strange Assembly removed.
Added the videocasts with the links that Anon provided. Much appreciated, kind stranger.
>>Ono-sendai might be dead, but after anon asked about it the last time I added back the link to its Github in case anybody wanted to build it for himself, or start a new one.
Github for Ono-sendai readded.
>>Nobody actually uses it. It got better but netrunnerdb, acoo and meteor are still better. But cardgamedb is actually the "official" deckbuilder with FFG behind it to support it, so I always left it there, even if it's only symbolic.
Good point. Cardgamedb put at the bottom of the list and marked not recommended.
>>Some anons were dead set on using Little Chiba back when the list was created.
Hm...this is tricky. I’ll leave it off for now, if anyone uses it and specifically asks for it to go back in the OP, then let’s add it.
>>Willingdone channel seems to be active in reddit. He posted a Kala Goda review a month ago. But seems like he's making Doomtown reviews too.
Good to know, just saw his stuff on Business First too. Left Willingdone alone.
OP too long by about 300 characters, split into two posts at Videocasts.
Part of me doesn’t want to add dead things unless it’s supported by FFG (cough, cardgamedb) or someone specifically asks for it to go onto the OP. I’ll leave Corp Draw off for now.
>>46180028
>and before
Tough to say, given that's the entire card pool, but looking at San San, nothing's really standing out except Tech Trader making Geist lodsofemone,
MCC might be a good Worlds Plaza candidate in a glacier deck - have the usual "scoring" server have Worlds with MCC and some other stuff - maybe Capital Investors? - and just score on a turn.
Oh, and Net Chips + Collective Conciousness + Faust being scary as fuck, for new cards making old cards good
>>46180028
I've been working on a Gagarin deck, based on one I saw here the other day and then modified, but it's pretty standard, seems pretty good most of the time, though I'm not sold on all of the ice - can I get some thoughts and feedback

Lakshmi Smartfabrics is really fun when you've got an extra copy of an agenda in hand and 1 or 2 pieces of unrezzed ice/assets.
Diversified Portfolio is a new, obvious, addition, it used to be Hedge Fund - on a bad whizzard-y day it won't help, but on a good day it's much better.
The only problems are if assets come piecemeal, or if you get topdecked before your R&D is properly secured - improving the defences for there would be the next step, though I'm not sure what the best way to do that is
>>46181694
Also, I've had people on Jinteki ragequit when they see this is basically the thing I'm doing, does that seem reasonable?
My other deck (admittedly, much more janky) almost never gets that, despite being slow as fuck
>>46182091
This is probably the wrong time to ask, but does anyone know what Project Junebug is actually supposed to be? I couldn't even find the full-res art for it. Does Jinteki just load up failed clones in tubes and connect them to the net, waiting for unwary runners to break in and fry their brains when the subhuman minds lash out at them?
>>46182624
Huh, I thought I had Project Junebug's full art, but I was wrong.
I assume that, yes, they are grown bio-brains in giant tanks (check the size of the dude in the lab coat) for the purpose of luring in and killing the runner.
There's also the meta aspect, all the other "projects" are agendas, and all but Ares are 3/2's with over-advance effects. The Jinteki one, naturally, is not a "project", but their project looks exactly like one, to the runner.
Similar to Junebug, there's also The Brewery, which also has big vats of death
>>46182624
Well, they're probably not "failed". Just a prototype of a sort.
>>46183046
They don't look similar to each other, though, which suggests to me they're a weaponized lab accident of some sort.
Maybe it's a psi thing.
>>46183162
I don't know, there's Psychic Field for that.
Probably just using brain-machine interfaces with a brain designed to wreck whatever connects to it.
Net damage has never been exactly clear though
>>46182091
Why would they rage-quit over this?
>>46184031
I don't know.
One guy wanted to play a different deck when he saw Gagarin, but just quit when I asked what the problem was - it didn't help he used really broken English
The other guy ran maybe turn 1 or 2, I rezzed a Tour Guide, he just quit.
Once it gets going it can be a pain to stop though, especially if you're not Whizzard.
>>46184218
In case I needed any more reason not to play online.
>>46184615
It's fine most of the time, but I guess you can get pretty burnt out by playing against similar decks over and over
Really digging the idea of playing a variation of that Kim deck I posted a while back using Globalsec Security Clearance adding Bhagat to Kim's Ability and/or Imp to snipe cards from R&D even when running HQ.
>>46186059
Sounds pretty cool. So you see what they've got on the top of R&D (with Pancakes too?) and then run HQ if you want to trash that?
Got surprised by Demo Run + Siphon Leela today, Nerve Agent built up counters on the Siphon, then boom goes the hand
>>46186474
You can run either R&D or HQ to trash. It's the fining defenses aspect I dig.
Power to the People for the laugh. I'd dig adding some Sneakdoor Beta. Would need to rework the influence package a bit, but nothing insurmountable.
Cute on that Leela/Demo Run bit. I really love that card, and am somewhat surprised not to see it more often.
>>46186691
It really needs multiaccess to work, and it's hardly the cheapest thing going, but trashing your opponent's hand is pretty great.
Pic related often replaces it.
I've just noticed, both of these hand-destruction cards have awesome art
Leela still lost though, against >>46181694. Mongoose meant the tour guides weren't too bad, but the main source of income was siphons, and they were not aggressive enough in trashing my assets
Sneakdoor, that's a nice touch - yeah, having to defend all 3 centrals against a trash-happy anarch, that sounds like fun
>>46186474
Nerve Agent plus Gang Sign just sounds obscene.

Nah, he's Weyland.

They call Trump crazy for wanting to build the Wall. Well, they called Jack crazy too when he wanted to build his Beanstalk!
>>46195097
But trump wants to build the wall to save America, Jack wants to save Humanity.
So what are runners going to sacrifice to fit in the PoOps and/or Councilmen?
>>46197579
Really going to depend on which build it get imported to.
In Anarch I'm not even sure I'm going to bother.
In crim and Shaper, it can easily replace, say, the Scrubbers you imported freeing some influence, but making you need a bit more econ.
Slots are tighter than ever.
>>46191943
>your own people
In his case, that means Americans
And if he truly cared about Americans he'd be just as anti-illegal-immigration as Trump. Illegal immigration only benefits the elite, who pocket more revenue off the depressed wages of the working class. Not to mention, due to reduced leverage of labor rights, the working class can be forced to take on even more duties and job requirements just to be employed. If not? You're fired.

This could be a brutal game-changer for some Jinteki NA decks - if left on the table you can suddenly switch your strat to FA if you feel you can pull it off.
>>46200077
>>46200056
dat IG tho
>>46200056
>>46200069
Those are brutal, that being said, Weyland gets a two credit benefit while Jinteki gets one net damage that doesn't need the runner to have done anything?
Balance issue if you ask me.
>>46199178
>Slots are tighter than ever.
So much this. One of the reasons I don't mind the 50+ restriction on MoH
Speaking of MoH, I've just realised that Gagarin/MCC decks like the one upthread are going to get thoroughly hosed by Councilfam and /pol/op shutting things down
A lot of asset decks are, really, but those using MCC will have agendas out in the open.
So Weyland get to be decent for one pack, thanks ffg (though Democracy & Dogma looks like it might be mainly Weyland and Crim)
>>46200056
IG new meta.
>>46200056
>>46200041
This is a HUGE boon to the Personal Evolution 1 pointer decks decks.
>>46200001
>>46200056
Gagarin and IG loving this cycle, holy shit.
Also, a potential 3 net damage every turn is bonkers
Theme and mechanics are both good, but don't really go together.
Still good though
>>46200077
Autoinclude?
>>46200093
ANY alliance card.Just thinking about deck building is getting me hot and bothered.
>>46200282
It is HB openingly saying they can replace clones with Bioroids so no "humans" need be hurt.
No weyland ID ? I'm sad.
All these "political" cards check for ice at the start of the turn.
As per this ruling (http://ancur.wikia.com/wiki/Underworld_Contact,_The_Supplier,_and_Dyson_Mem_Chip_Ruling) start of turn effects can be ordered so that things that become valid at the start of the turn fire if another start-of-turn effect makes them valid.
Thus picking up an OAI'd Curtain Wall in Blue Sun lets you bring OAI back to HQ with Clone Sufferage.
>>46200027
The art is only thing that I am not happy about this card.
Is she supposed to be a bioroid?
>>46200439
Clone possibly.
Note the caduceus in the back.
>>46200439
Just heavily made up, I think.
>>46200349
Guess we're getting Anarch and Weyland IDs in The Liberated Mind (IDs are always the first card of a faction in a pack.)
>>46200372
And then get the money from Commercial Bankers Group.
So, Sensie Actors Union accelerates NBN's information, Bankers give Weyland a lovely flow of cash, but what is going on with Jinteki and HB's ones? I don't get the mechanics.
But I totally love the political assets. If you want them to work, the public needs to have free access to them, and Runner can easily ruin them.
>>46200659
To specify, I don't get the flavor. Why would Association damage Runner or Movement return Operations?
It's easy to connect Actors and their support to information (and hiding it) and Bankers' Group to money making schemes, but what about Jinteki and HB?
>>46200721
The political will to replace clones with bioroids is letting HB get away with more things?
Jinteki ... I got nothing.
>>46200721
Net damage has never been particularly well explained, but in this case I'd say their control over bio-ethics associations is letting them send Neural EMP-like pulses of damage through the net.
Heh, multiple NEMPs and Bio-Ethics could kill a runner fairly easily if they're not careful.
And Bio-Ethics is great in Chronos Division
>>46200721
Association feel like jinteki giving them the go-ahead to test out new theories without the usual repercussions. Win over the association and change the guidelines from within.
Movement is simple. Bioroids are not people unlike the clones, so why do you care we overwork them for our business operations.
>>46200780
New laws limiting the use of some tech limits the options of the runner the can lead them to being unable to run anymore?
>>46200721
For the Movement, as HB you're working against Jinteki, which gives you a boost - if they're not buying/renting from Jinteki, they're getting their androids from you, giving you more capital and flexibility
Still, like a fair few cards (say, Smartfabrics, Power to the People) it's a cool effect and reasonably cool flavour, they just don't really go together.
>>46200093
This seems insanely good with shit like Museum of History.
>>46200093
mmm, yes I would like to just install Museums without having to find them.
Now I'm wondering what the Weyland Alliance Operation will be.
>>46200077
this card is so retarded.
>>46200919
> it's a cool effect and reasonably cool flavour, they just don't really go together.
Look at Political Dealings. The most generic name, art, and flavour text one can think of.
>>46201275
It needs Inf cost on it IMO. It seems WAY too good to just toss into random decks.
So what I am seeing is another 6 months of Whizzard Dumblefork decks.
>>46201277
Yeah, it's not great.
Still, I'd take vague - though it does have a minor cool point of being Seedy, and though that doesn't matter (not even for Populist Rally) that's something - over overly-specific like that piece of shit Film Critic
I love for Freedom through Equality and Clones are not People mirror each other. (Extra Agenda point with next agenda to the side that played it.)
Same could be said about Clone Suffogate Movement and Bio-Ethics Commitee. One trashes cards from hand, other adds cards to the hand. Though addmitedly it's a sretch.
>>46202193
Freedom seems a bit bullshit though, being no influence
My current runner list; posted last thread, but got buried by shitposts. Since then, I have since changed out the ProCos for Diesels, as someone in the last thread said they liked card draw more than creds for a stealth build, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Since I effectively have a 5th click, I've been considering running Kati for money as I could more easily spare a click to place 3 creds on her.

Also, seeing as you have Artist Colony, don't forget that an instant-speed plascrete (either directly or through a second install) is the best plascrete

He posted the one that matters (Freedom through Equality) since the AI was known all except its influence I believe.
The "Trigger when unprotected" Assets make me scared that FFG might think we are protecting asset remotes...
>>46203056
If hugely horizontal asset spam wasn't quite so strong - and with polyp and councilfam it soon shouldn't be - then protecting assets should make sense.
It's just that ice is swiss cheese at the moment - it's not worth spending time and money to protect things if protection doesn't actually work

I have been running a Heritage Committee -> Mutate, HB: Stronger Together deck for a little bit.
It is kind of insane. I get low power Bioroids out for almost free and mutate them into insanely strong ones. I can use Bioroid Efficiency Research if I want to force a rez on a remote to trade it out for a better ICE.

The problem is more FFG's infestation of SJW culture. Anyone in their right mind knows to keep as far away from Leigh Alexander professionally and personally as you can.
I will see if I can track down a like for it tho, I deleted that shit with so much hate I don't even remember why I got it from. It was just page after page of SJW Cult propaganda that I thought I was not even sure it was real.

I never had a problem with the name. It's a Wizard who uses the cutlery, so it makes sense, and it gets bonus points for being both a cultural reference and a portmanteau.
>>46207315
Floyd in Free-Fall. I know the book was written in 2011 but even then this kind of entry-level navel-gazing was passe. They even have an excruciating bit where he re-invents Pascal's Wager. I started reading this because I was interested in Android's bioroids, how they thought and experienced the world, what brain-taping was supposed to be and how human they were. But this is nearly gibberish.
>>46207316
What? I don't believe that, no SJW would ever write in a trans character just to have them revealed to be a child predator. That's more like anti-SJW propaganda.
> "Gamers' don't have to be your audience. 'Gamers' are over".
Oh no. Not this person. I'm getting flashbacks from that whole mess.
>>46207843
Okay, so it's just unfounded rumours? Thank god.
>>46209239
Yeah, that was just shitposting
For what it's worth, I dimly recall from looking at netrunner articles when I was just getting into the game that Alexander, for all her many, many flaws, does like both the game and the lore, even if she does see Jackson as essentially a toymaker whose designs are being used for evil - something that mostly matches up with the lore in the D&D flavour insert.
Yeah Free Fall is not really a book worth actually paying for, though I hear it may be one of the better of the android novels so far.
It does give an okay intro to the universe though, and Floyd's weak introspection is only a very small part
>>46209677
Yeah, some of the background stuff is interesting even if it's delivered through boring characters.
How come there are no Chinese people on the moon? They mentioned a General Tseng or whatever, can I assume China was wiped out wholesale in WW3 or something?
>>46209750
>there are no Chinese people on the moon?
Aren't there?
>>46209835
There's tons of Japanese people on the moon, because Japanese people have 'always been fascinated with it'. Chinese people just aren't, I guess.

I knew that - there's a reason it's "Starport Kaguya", named after a Japanese goddess, and they have a big community there apparently
But China is still around - there's Chinese orgcrime mentioned (Tri-Maf, "dong ma" is mandarin for "understand", in the same way as "capische"), and in Weyland's fluff piece in the rulebook they're mentioned as being one of the governments they get contracts from (they're also mentioned as dealing with "repressive Mediterranean regimes", to give an example of places that haven't got better/have deteriorated).
I've been thinking about getting into Netrunner along side my Game of Thrones LCG games. To put myself off at the first turn am I right in saying I'm expected to buy 3 of ever core box for optimal deck building?

>I'm expected to buy
Not at all.
For ultimate optimized deckbuilding, yes, 3 core will mean you have 3 of every card in the game.
This is not necessary most of the time

1 core is fine for starting out.
2 will get you almost every card that matters
3 is only for completionists - San San and Desperado are the only 1-ofs people really care that much about, are mostly fine as 2-ofs, and it's worth remembering that people sell singles occasionally - if you have a strategy that absolutely needs one of the few 1-of cards

I see. I've had the original core set around for ages gathering dust because all of the decks just don't have enough cards to be played without fiddling about so a second core set is all I'll need (unlike Game of Thrones which is basically mandatory) Then I can expand from there if I get into it.
Cheers.
>>46211281
Well, if you're not playing competitively I suggest to leave the second core set for later and gather some deluxe boxes first. They expand the capabilities available for the factions and give you new ways to play the game while staying truthful to their colour pie.
For example, Jinteki core got the short end of the stick, without enough economy to pay all their expensive ICE and ambushes, and with neutral agendas that take away both the surprise of the rezzing (Priority Requisition) and need tags to work (Private Security Force). The faction truly didn't take off until its deluxe, Honor and Profit, where several ambushes and ICE make it really scary to facecheck (punished by losing your whole grip), and they got the economy they needed and some of the best agendas for their faction.

But a second core lets you keep multiple decks together at a time.

3 of this and 1 Ronin. The Runner is fucked.
>>46215210
What's to stop the runner from trashing an uniced 2-cost card?
>>46215210
Shipment from Mirromorph got a lot more deadly.
>>46215436
Nothing. Thank god for Hostile Infrastructure.
Not to mention heightened cost from IG.
>>46213984
you should be doing your testing in Jinteki.net anyway if you care about competitive
So, with IG looking amazing right now, and Museum/Clone Suffrage making archives hugely temporary, is it finally time for pic related, the least loved of all the interfaces, to come to the fore?
While Crick will remain annoying (but hey, David and Spooned) flat out removing cards over trashing them now seems like it might be necessary
>>46220544
I can see it working with Desperado and Datasucker (and naturally as follows, Atman and Parasite) but you'd have to integrate a suite around it to make the runs worth it. Stuff like Dirty Laundry, too. Sneakdoor Beta might be a good idea for those non-IG matchups you'll inevitably run into.
>>46220570
Yeah, it's a good responsive tool, but as an aggressive tool it's not that great.
Still, I think it's good that it's likely to finally see play
>>46218145
This woman has the worst fashion sense.
Let me tell you about my Woman in the red dress.
>>46218145
>Tori Hanzo
>presumably a Japanese woman
>looks like some Italian or even Jewish woman
I'm confused lads... did FFG tell the artist that her name was Josephine Ricco or something?
>>46220920
Stop being racist. Names, Looks, etc have nothing to do with race.
You can have any name and look like anyone and be or identify as any race. For all you know she is Trans-Race.
