Episode 2: Built to Restore Humanity Plus (Gateway Corps)

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

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!
