Shipment from ChiLo

Dane, Chris, and Graham dive into the System Gateway Corps and see what they're made of. Which reasonable deck ideas are quickly curtailed into terrible jank? Tune in to find out!

Graham, Dane, and Chris try to contain their excitement for System Gateway by digging into the three new runners. System Gateway is Netrunner's newest product, made by Nisei and designed to introduce new players to Netrunner with a pair of duel decks.

Kevin and I predict some upcoming tournaments. You may notice that many of those tournaments have already occurred. That is because we record episodes in the past. Then we predict some of the unspoiled cards in Reign & Reverie. Which is now out, but, again, recorded in the past. This, my 20th episode and 1 yr castiversary, was recorded 2 days before the Discontinuation Announcement - a day which will live in infamy. The announcement day, not the day we recorded. That's, like, a nothing day. It's not worth remembering at all. Like, nothing really happened. Well, we recorded this, but no one's going to think about that. But the day they cancelled Netrunner. That's a big one. #ThisMemeIsDead #AdaWada #NowWeBrewin #TechnicallyItsRedOrange [1:15] Searchlight: Kevin [11:23] Precognition: Summer Meta (11:23) Corp (45:10) Runner [1:09:43] The News Now Hour: Reign & Reverie

I'm still alive! Just giving an update on the outlook of Shipment from ChiLo and my thoughts on the end times of our favorite game. New episode hopefully up by the end of June.

Veterans Jordan and Andrew help me get over my Maxxiphobia. We answer the question "Who or What is ClotLock?".

Following up on the discussion from Episode 14, "Selective Net-Decking", Greg and I recap his Store Champ season. As a new player, how did Greg fare with Comrades Val and Skorpios? Would he 10/10 Val and Skorp again?

This one's a doozy! Andrew comes on the show to revisit a recent Store Championship tournament in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We give an in-depth recap of the excitement of the day. The actual tournament recap (32:20 - 1:29:50) does not have card summaries in the interest of saving time. If you don't have knowledge of the competitive card pool, you might not be able to follow along very easily. Sorry about that! Fast forward to the Deck Changes (1:29:50) to catch the end of our discussion. #NetrunnerIsLikeAFight #SlotsAreTight #ValueHHN #GutenbergIsTheShit [1:30] Searchlight: Andrew [11:05] Preemptive Action (11:05) Andrew's Prep https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/48228/return-of-the-maxx-1st-milwaukee-sc-undefeated https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/48226/lock-your-doors-1st-milwaukee-sc (27:10) Graham's Prep https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/48350/dj-baby-grandpa-2nd-milwaukee-sc- https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/48351/espn-2nd-milwaukee-sc- [32:20] Special Report: Milwaukee SC (32:20) Swiss Rounds (1:08:00) Cut Rounds (1:29:50) Deck Changes Thanks to the Board Game Barrister for a great Store Champ this year!

Greg fools me into giving him some free Netrunner coaching to prep for an upcoming Store Championship.

Kevin, Matt, Jake, and I share our Netrunner goals for 2018, including getting those sweet sweet Store Champ prizes, scoring public agendas shamelessly, and creating a format for new players.

Rose and Jordan tell tales of wonder regarding their experience at 2017 Worlds. They talk about their preparation and predictions, as well as the side events and general goodfunthings they did.

Jake, Matt, and I decompress from worlds by netdecking some real neat things. We hypothesize future MWL changes - when we're met by a MYSTERIOUS VISITOR. Then we chat about our great Worlds party to hopefully inspire YOU to organize your own next year. Also Matt has some breaking news.

I chat with Damon Stone, former Android: Netrunner Lead Designer, about the Revised Core Set and its effect on the LCG model.

While recording Ep3, I thought it would be funny to give Friends in High Places a jingle. I paused editing the episode today, and after 2 hours I had recorded the first Shipment from ChiLo single. Friends in High Places At only one influence You see it everywhere Two cards back for just one click How is that even fair?   Friends in High Places Bringin’ back stuff that was trashed Friends in High Places Like a Breaker Bay Grid or an Ash Doesn’t matter how many times You send stuff to the bin You never really say goodbye When you’ve got your Friends   They’ve been Friendsing all day long I’m sure they’ll run out soon But wait! Clone Suffrage Movement? They just friendsed back their Moons   I just wiped your board With Apocalypse But with Friends, you got back two ice Where oh where is that Most Wanted List??
