Macrophage is hilarious and I will put one in Blue Sun and forget about it forever. It will go on R&D and make Mediums a thing of the past (note - will not make Mediums a thing of the past).

FFG need to get off their balls and ban some poo poo. The MWL is too weak a solution as players just drop a bunch of cards from their decks and keep playing busted poo poo. No half measures - just loving ban every problem card and keep them banned unless someone stands in front of the design team and explains in excruciating detail why a card needs to come off the ban list.

Deluxe expansions are good to start with. Those two discounted ones are better than Honor and Profit, but both are weighted towards the runner in terms of card power. The ID's from Order and Chaos are better than those from Creation and Control imo. Both are worth picking up. The Championship decks are also good pickups - the Corp one more than the runner, as it's a more straightforward style of play. When Terminal Directive is released, the narrative campaign will be a good way to play if either of you are interested in the factions featured in it.

That's a strong ID. People are probably gonna pack Fall Guys and trash prevention stuff in response, but that's thinking too far ahead. Other cards: Colossus looks fun. Mr Stone is basically the inverse of the sort of Weyland card I want (when you do meat damage, give a tag) but might be fun to play around with. Paper Trail looks like the right kind of power level for a 4/2. Honeyfarm is probably only going into asset spam decks.

Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:It also kills anything the runner bins due to hand size or Net/Brain damage, meaning "overdraw, pitch paperclip" just got a LOT less powerful, as did Levy'ing to get a second pass at your deck. Re-reading it, yeah, holy cow. That's really really good. Parasite/SIFR eats poo poo against it. Now to hope the other Weyland cards help make up for the rest of the faction's deficiencies...

Abagnale and the Shaper ID are really cool. Abagnale might be part of a suite of similar breakers. I'm interested in possible economy cards in the set - if people are coming from core set to Terminal Directive, I think having more economy options, even if they're conditional, would probably improve the play experience a ton for new players as they get more money to play the cool cards. Some of the Criminal stuff shown here would be pretty difficult to play on a Core set economy. That might be a dumb thing to say with Temujin Contract being a card that exists.

fozzy fosbourne posted:Who else would you pick as the new core set runners? Corps? Gonna assume we stick with stuff that'll cycle out, so the first two cycles. Anarchs is tough as the only one that's kind of "easy" to slot places is Whizzard, and I'd only put him in if they reduced his reccuring credits or reworked him. Reina kind of works but with the fragile economy of the Core set she might be super strong in a solely Core 2.0 environment. Criminal can stay with Gabe, he's easy and spells out Criminal playstyle. I am basically the only human being alive who doesn't like Andromeda though. Corp is a lot harder because most of their early IDs suck. HB has to essentially rework EtF because Stronger Together sucks, but EtF is too good. Weyland stays with BaBW. NBN could go either way, but I doubt anyone would shed a tear for The World is Yours. Jinteki kinda has to stay with PE as RP is a real pain in the rear end for new players. This is, of course, hugely dependant on what cards are in the new Core set and if FFG make any balance changes to cards. I would imagine they'd put in more economy cards like Restructure, and madly hope for Jackson Howard.

That won't solve anything. Just put all those cards in anyway and laugh because influence can't be below 0 via MWL. A Whizzard deck with all those cards will still be good and not miss anything. Just ban the cards.

I feel like a deck that sits on its rear end using Opus every turn and waiting for the ~perfect moment~ to keyhole is easily beatable by playing the game called Netrunner. Also every time Adrian does anything I want to punch him so there's that.

I don't think I'm gonna shock anyone by saying bad pub isn't a mechanic that's been handled very well, but I really wish more interesting things were being done with it and make it something that people care about. Stuff that scaled off of bad publicity, things that sacrificed bad publicity for effects, and so on. Suffice to say that the ones we have either suck or are Blackmail.

Despite my shitpost, I don't care that much that he makes good decks. I'd be more generous to him if everything he wrote didn't come across as "teehee, I've beat FFG's attempts to balance the game and kept Anarch top," but whatever.

Yeah it's pretty hilarious how much cardboard got wasted for TD. It's a common thing in recent boardgaming where they have enourmous boxes to try and catch eyes on the shelf, and then have most of it taken up by badly designed inserts. Level 99 games is real bad at this as well - I'm having to make custom boxes and poo poo because BattleCon is so huge and the insert so lovely for no reason. I'm gonna break the TD box down, binder the legal cards and keep the legacy stuff in one of those Pokemon deckboxes with the dividers in. E: I'm actually way more excited for playing Alya and a Shaper deck than I thought, everything in her set seems useful in some way. Still not excited about HB though.

Just print better ICE and stop printing things that make it piss-easy to get through ICE. Paperclip ought to go on the MWL alongside Rumor Mill and any card that trivialises the main interaction of the game.

berenzen posted:Paperclip has almost the same efficiency as corroder except on a single style of ICE- High Strength, multi-sub ICE. Unless you're going to bitch about something like Gordian Blade and other efficient icebreakers as well. How many times have you read "this ICE would be good except Paperclip/Corroder/Mimic/Gordian Blade exist"? So yeah, I'll bitch about them too. Zephro posted:ICE would have to be absolutely brutally effective to make it worth spreading over 4 or 5 servers. The opportunity cost of being able to defend two remotes at the moment is not defending centrals properly plus the loss of deck slots you suffer from including loads and loads of ICE. Any ICE that was strong enough to make the tradeoff worth it would be even better if you just used it on centrals and stuck to the current style of play with one defended remote at most. Remote-only ICE is one way round that problem. As a Weyland player, I'd be pretty happy with finally getting "brutally effective" ICE worth a drat instead of figuring out what lovely flimsy ICE I'm gonna rush behind today. Also remote-only ice wouldn't be played because you could just put in a piece of ICE that wasn't a dead draw when you've already set up your One Remote. The opportunity cost of making multiple remotes outside of a prison/asset spam deck is so high that it's never going to be worth icing multiple remote unless you're playing Engineering the Future. Making ICE with weird cross-remote abilities wouldn't change that. Cards that are better on remotes, like Turing, are the way to go, so if that's what you're talking about then I agree.

Since Colossus and Hortum have come out people are going in with Space Camp, Trick of Light and Anson Rose for FA and a decent ice package. Colossus in particular is real nice when advanced because it gets the strength buff as well as the subs, whereas Mausolus and Hortum don't cost any less to break.

Yeah the MWL for Rumor Mill has brought a lot of life into B-tier execs and assets. You can get a lot of value out of Anson if you're willing to wait. Andre on the Metropole Grid has done a few videos with him out of Titan if you wanna check it out.

The game should have started rotation the second Mumbad was done. Makes the card pool smaller and a lot of power cards in later cycles are really helped by poo poo like Hostile Infrastructure. I'd honestly have Lunar rotate out at this point too.
