I think outside of IG you'd have to use it a bit more tactically - baiting runs for NEMP would be the obvious, but distracting from a naked agenda could also work - I found Museum is great for that, but Bio-Ethics is also pretty must-trash

I'd like to think so.

I also hope that when this pack was made they didn't consider crims the best and anarchs the worst, the way they clearly did when designing Mumbad (though they probably were, at the time, before San San had been released)

Locally, I find it kinda depressing that apart from three players that are actively interested in building NBN, only the core competitive crowd plays the faction. It's like there's a stigma to it. NBN has cooties.

I must have played against two Haarpsichord decks since the ID was released.
Granted, the release of D&D meant people playing the faction have had a lot on their plate, but still.

As for the Mumbad cards, well, it's hard to to get a proper feeling between the people that have stopped updating period, and the people that have joined me in updating only at the end of the cycle. So far I think only Aryabhata Tech and Salem's Hospitality have had any kind of staying power.

I don't like Temple. Maybe as a 1 of, just in case.
>>
>>47389577
>what hardware is worth installing 3

Well, the easy answer is LLDS for London Library/Chameleon.

Lockpick if it fits your build. Clone Chip.

Spy Camera? Then you get to cycle through your deck fairly efficiently I gather.

Dorm Computer, you don't *need* to install three, but it's cool that you can just get them off the stack and ready for so little spent.

Q-Cohernce Chip?

A lot of people don't like the card, but to me Cyberfeeder is still an Anarch staple. It's fairly good if you use it every turn. Gettng them early s generally the issue. Which is probably easily solved here.

IG=Jinteki's Industrial Genomics
Mumbad cycle brought 2 cards. The first one is the Museum of History (MoH). An asset-alliance card that shuffle one card from the archives in R&D.
The second card is the Mumbad City Hall (MCH), a Weyland asset that says
>"Click: Search R&D for an alliance card and install or play it, paying all costs."
Meaning you install MCH, rez it, and then start spamming assets.
You want the recursion? Install all 3 MoH.
You want econ? Install all 3 Mumbad Temples.
You want to trash a card in the Runner's grip? Play Salem's Hospitality.
Oh, and just in case, take a look at the top 3 cards of R&D. You like what you see? Play Heritage Comittee and draw them.

They're being such teases with that bit of obfuscated text on Observe and Destroy.
>>
>>47395140
>push on Assets and the decline of ice in the meta
The assets thing is intentional isn't it? Since it would make sense for corps to have lots of assets, compared to only 1-2 assets being played before. What do you mean by the decline of ice though? Less 15+ ice decks?
>>
>>47399218
By "decline of ice" I meant that ice has been less and less effective for a while now - the efficiency of Faust (with its engine), backed up with David, meant that most ice is broken on encounter, without costing the runner too much money.
When this is combined with the "cutlery" events, investing in a lot of ice becomes less worth it.

Asset spam decks, and in particular ones that don't need to protect their assets as much, like IG and Gagarin, are a reaction to this - they existed before, but when investing seriously in ice became a liability decks that need little ice flourish
And then a load of assets get printed, some of which specifically don't work if protected by ice, which encourages this even more
>>
>>47402078
I think it's interesting how the answer to ice destruction is "ok, no more ICE, start asset spam" instead of just "more ice"
>>
>>47403370
If "corporations become more dangerous" is any sign for the next cycle, we might be at looking at more rig destruction too.

It takes the runner's attention away from central servers, which weak ice made very hard to protect - more ice isn't much better than minimal ice, and the assets now available to be spammed are currently more "help you win" than "help you not lose"

It's not 100% either way - asset spam wouldn't be anything like as prevalent if ice was still effective at stopping the runner a good portion of the time, but if there weren't so many good assets around people would probably try the more ice route
>>
>>47403370

Well, there's an innate cost to the corp going lateral that the runner cannot really work around: fruitless clicks for running in each server and trash.

Competitive decks prefer certitudes. You *can* actually play ICE and deal with the Anarch engine of choice now, but it's more unreliable - and with ICE destruction a lot more risky - than simply trying to ignore it as much as possible and tax the runner in ways that are less impacted by its rig.
>>
>>47403497
> asset spam wouldn't be anything like as prevalent if ice was still effective at stopping the runner a good portion of the time

Not so much stopping as taxing I would say. Strategically, ICE as a transaction hasn't been since O&C the long term investment it used to be. Tactically, on a moment to moment basis, it's the hardest for the corp it's ever been to evaluate and manage impact on the runner through ICE, meaning scoring windows are probably the narrower they've ever been.

That's my hunch from playing with the competitive crowd at least.
>>
>>47371260
>Regionals. IG all day everyday. Are you disappointed?
extremely, FFG needs to work on their balancing. My FLGS pretty much stopped being a netrunner store based on the current meta.
>>
>>47373083
>Honestly I don't even have an issue with the IG museums deck
I like Whizzard as much as the next guy but it would be nice to be able to win without playing him.
>>
>>47403841
I know Whizzard is pretty amazing against asset spam. I know that. He's literally build to counter that.
But what about Valencia? With Whizzard you maybe have 3 credits per turn? With Valencia you have 1 extra credit per run. That's up to 4 credits per turn. Plus, you have the option to Blackmail. That's gotta be better than playing Faust.
>>
>>47404056
Yeah I actually put executive boot camp in my palana foods deck to deal with blackmail/ddos decks
It also cash tutor for shocks so it actually really became a power house in that deck
>>
>>47404056
What non anarchs are doing well?
>>
>>47404375

Shapers, being shapers, can deal with everything. If not the best at least decently enough (Paricia is pretty good in current context).

Crims struggle the most now - which in a way is somewhat surprising, their biggest weakness being their breaker suite, you'd think a context where corps build with little ICE in mind would help* - but they're not by any means bad. If not for the influence I think Stirling should be doing a lot better than people give him credit. Geist is doing pretty ok. I've had pretty decent games with Santiago myself for the last few day.

*: but then yeah, we've already had that talk, Howard cripples the faction in ways it doesn't impact the others.
>>
>>47406475
What I find really interesting of Gabe is that an account siphon will net you 12 credits, 8 if you remove tags. I completely overlooked it until I actually played a core gabriel a while ago. 12 credits Siphon did a pretty big impact with how low econ core cards were.
>>
>>47407259
Yeah, Gabe is very good at the Siphon

Jesminder, though she has to import it, is interesting because she can do a 3rd click siphon (and effectively gains +2 from it as well), given that she only has to clear one tag

Man, I am looking forward to this.


Recalling that Damon mentioned that they were aware of Weyland's issues (I can't recall if he mentioned crim, but crim ruled runners for a good while), do you think a cycle where: a) the corps are being more dangerous and aggressive, and b) Weyland, specifically, got attacked (after an exec left them for Jinteki, no less), Weyland will be getting some cool, nasty toys to hurt the runner?
>>

So niche use it hurts. You have to be able to rez it at will for it to be even slightly useful.
>>
>>47409512
Blue Sun + Executive Boot Camp/Amazon Industrial Zone maybe?
>>
>>47409591
That's not at will, that's at the beginning of the turn/on your turn. Most Parasites stay around for 1 Runner turn or 1 run with Clone Chip.
>>
>>47409623
surat then
>>
>>47409786
Only works if you have a rezzable card in the Surat server, like an asset, upgrade or an ICE before the Parasited one.

Those are hella conditions on top of spending the influence.
>>
>>47409962
Having a rezzable card isn't that hard a condition to clear I think. That said, it does require a good bit of extra work, and if Magnet was introduced as a counter to Parasite, it's doing it pretty poorly. There isn't a window to do the "rez card in Surat server -> rez Magnet" during the "encounter ice -> trash clone chip -> host parasite -> spend datasucker tokens -> ice = 0 -> ice trashed by parasite", is there?

Atleast it nullifies the Caissa suite, not that it's seen that much use.
>>
>>47410285
>is there?
There isn't, yes.
>>
>>47410285

It does better than nullify it. It creates interesting new game states. As a huge fan of the caĂŻssa suite, I'm really digging this card and the next time we make decks made to be played against I'll be sure to experiment with it.

She's newly hired, it doesn't say she's ex-Weyland - that was an exec, who I'm pretty sure dies in the days following the 23 Seconds

>"This creates a powder keg. Then it becomes known that one Titan executive who left the Weyland Consortium just twenty-four hours earlier is now employed by Jinteki. The match has been lit, and conspiracy theories race across the Net. Her death sparks a war in the streets, and it's corp against corp."

As a random thing, I suspect the sysop (who is the, or at least a, protag) is ex-runner, but I don't think she's the executive from Titan

As someone who only has the base game and absolutely loves playing, how do I expand my borders in terms of building a deck? I built a few test decks and played against my friend but I've been thinking of using Jinteki. Any tips to deck building? There's just so many cards that with my lack of experience makes it difficult to decide.
>>
>>47435412
Jumping straight into the whole 5 cycle pool can be overwhelming. Try limiting yourself to 1-2 cycles or the deluxe expansions at first, or netdecking then modifying them slightly. Otherwise just go for the cards you think could be fun, then find a way to make them work without ruining the game plan.

Is it good to generally play this card?
>>
>>47438288
Generally? No.
But it has its place in janky Overmind/Ekomind decks.
>>
Does the community still keep track of most efficient breaker numbers for breakers? I have sudden urge to brew Liberated mind Haley with all junky cards from the set and I want to know what would be most elegant suite to use.
>>
>>47438482
Depends on how much influence are you willing to spend on the breaker suite.
>>
>>47438288

notorious b.a.g. decks were semi-competitive at some point. game plan is to get bagbiter out, click mopus for a few turns, then draw your entire deck with game day and set up for one big turn.

but it's not a good card generally
>>
>>47438610
Well so far I've been wasting about 8 on pair of Corroders and Shrikes, but I assume there is better approach to it.
>>
>>47439558
with the amount of Hive and Ashigaru in my meta, I'm going with Sherman over corroders.

am I best runner yet?

>>47442404
You were, once upon a time. That time has passed.

So what's gonna happen when the corp uses Exchange of Information to swap a Merger with a GFI? if that pushes both players to 7, does the corp when because it's their turn? Same question for turntabling a GFI for a Merger, would the runner win because it's the runners turn?
>>
>>47443512
I think it would be a draw.
>>
I just had a weird thought, when was the last time someone you played against payed to break a pop up window or pup? like, used an icebreaker to do it and not just lose the credits?
>>
>>47442404
Better rebirth as Exile
>>
>>47443512
I confirm is a draw. Similar Questions were raised around Jinteki Harmony Medtech.

>>47443728
Usually it's irrelevant, but sometimes it's necessary to specify it.
Case in which it's better to pay to break.
Using recurring credits to break is cheaper.
Yog breaks for 0.
Brahman and Mongoose break for 1.

>Similar Questions were raised around Jinteki Harmony Medtech
How did that come up? Employee Strike?

>>47443728
Someone, somewhere, has used Spooned on a Pop-up.

Pop-up + Chum best combo.
>>
>>47443814
>Pop-up + Chum best combo.
Didn't expect someone to beat me to this. Chum is really underused. Yes, it's positional, but it's a great value and easily splashed.
>>
>>47444093
You know what's actually awesome to Chum? An already Femmed card. Like Komainu.

Sunny's tiny Jeremy Beadle arm gets me every time.

It seems that even in this game some bright minds have realized the universal truth that you can't guarantee a 100% victory if you let your opponent play/interact with you.
>>
>>47444751
That's so 2014.
>>
>>47444798
Was that when headlock happened?
>>
>>47445245
Headlock? Headlock is pretty interactive. Also, Headlock is 2015.
2014 is Astrobiotics and Noiseshop.
>>
>>47443728

This afternoon. Got Spooned. I think the runner made the right call too.

Semi blog thing, but played today with friends that are the very definition of casuals, just buy the cards and play by themselves, and it 's really refreshing to play with people that don't (think they) have analyzed everything to death and still marvel at "new" decks/interactions.

Special mention to their daughter, the most Anarch person I've played in a while. She wanted to play MaxX Eater, but didn't have access to Keyhole as the family shares card pool and it was already used by her parents, and so she stubbornly played that very aggressive Fester deck that would build counters on Medium with Eater, and then trash the ICE on R&D to rack all the card accesses at once. Hilarious to see in action. And very well played too, actually.
>>
>>47447353
>Fester deck that would build counters on Medium with Eater,
Never heard of it, but sounds very interesting. I generally like Fester decks. I think it's great to make the Corp pay for purging virus. The card is not even unique, I don't know if the wording makes it so that only one triggers, but having to pay 3 clicks and 6 credits best case scenario to purge a clot or a medium sounds great.
>>
>>47447583

I like fester, it's jut such a nice card. I really wish I had managed to make that Fester/Incubator deck work in any reasonable way. Very cool interaction.

>I don't know if the wording makes it so that only one triggers

They're cumulative.

Rutherford/Zodiac NBN vs Sunny created some interesting situation, but less less so than I had hoped.
>>
Janus 1.0 + Cell Portal. Chum optional.
How do you make it work?
>>
>>47453970
Need lots of credits, maybe unorthdox, and something to prvent jackout.
>>
>>47454416
True about the credits, but you don't need to prevent jackout, the combo is taxing enough to score behind even if you don't kill with it.

Honorable mention to False Lead.
>>
>>47453970

Since we're talking big ICE. Wotan with a Project Wotan scored can be very mean given it lacks the "click-through" weakness of other bioroids, and can be rezzed early for a Bioroid Efficiency Research.

Something I've seen used to decent results recently.

Careful the runner could still get through provided a starting grip with a cheap, affordable to lose program.
>>
>>47453970
Have you considered The Twins instead of Cell Portal? It's not pseudo-ETR, but it's cheaper to pull off and forces another encounter.
>>
>>47458734
I have not, as I do not have that card. But yes, that would work too.
>>
>>47458734
The Twins with Vitruvius scored with a bunch of counters on it.

Fun fact of the day: even at full MU where it would be 0 net, if cortex lock fires, Tori Hanzo can turn it into a brain damage

> Tori Hanzo can turn it into a brain damage
Oh boy, that's evil.

The kind of idea that makes one wishes one had the idea.

>The first time you would do any amount of net damage during each run on this server
It checks out, CL would hit for 0 net, also, Tori and that one grid that deals one net for a successful run.

Would you rather Snare x2 or Midseasons x1 + one other card in a janky Weyland DRT deck?
>>
>>47467310
See >>47384211
>>
>>47467310

Counter-point, since we're talking jank, how about something crazy that will make the game memorable for you and your opponent?
>>
>>47468250
Snare would be the safest bet wouldn't it.

>>47469350
Well my idea was to fuel Midseasons using Security Subcontract, use DRT to dissuade any running/shave off Plascretes, then play Scorched whenever it pops into my hand. There's also Archived Memories to enable Midseasons as a credit sink early, or just retrieve any DRT/Data Raven/Scorched.

First cycle only by the way. Probably won't be able to pull it off consistently, but it'd be silly when it does.
>>
>>47469628
I remember playing a Jinteki deck with Off the Grid, filling HQ with Net Damage and protecting it with Caprice.

Now you gave me this idea: DRT protected by Off the Grid, maybe all 3 in a World Expo. Fill HQ with Data Ravens and other tag measures.
>>
>>47470615
Now I'd like to imagine what kind of possible explanation would Weyland give to feds on why they keep their World Plaza off the Grid. Probably either involves dropping bunch of cash on their table and saying that they didn't hear the question or pointing gun at their head and asking to rephrase that question.
But World Plaza should totally be big enough to hide three Dedicated Response Teams.
>>
>>47470615
Add on Expo grid for 4 credits a turn, and Encryption Protocol with Gagarin ID to further up the trash cost, and those things aren't getting trashed anytime soon. Now you just need to pray the runner doesn't have Apocalypse, though at 6 damage per central server, they'd need atleast 2 Plascretes to even survive.
>>
im new, does this game have formats i need to adhere to? what kind of deck does a beginner play?

do games normally stretch on for like 40 min?
>>
>>47471067
The only format I can think of are the minimum deck amount and influence requirements - which changes depending on the ID - and building different decks for the Runner and Corp side.

Games can go from 20 to 50+ minutes depending on how quickly a side reaches their win condition.

As for decks, just try everything and see if you find a faction that you like, I just used the pre-constructed core set decks for a my first few games. You can start building decks once you've found a faction and play style you're comfortable with.
>>
>>47471067
There are no other formats besides normal play and draft.
