Great video as usual! I honestly think that Business As Usual and Logjam are a bit better than where you put them. They are key parts of my main Corp deck that I've been playing and it has done pretty well. It was 'decklist of the week' last week, so it made me really sad to learn that the first time I get a 'decklist of the week' it's a week were you are not streaming. I'd love it if you tried it and you might appreciate BAU and Logjam a bit more.

In terms of "lessons learned," the big one feels like Trick Shot. If I recall correctly, both Bahia and Raindrops moved up after being revisited as well. The lesson seems to be that "crantrip-like run events get undervalued, especially when they bundle together multiple effects"

Wow... This means I haven't played Netrunner in more than four months! This is the set I just did not feel like playing.

Wish the RotomAppliance decks had a more detailed description to get started with playing them.

🔥

Always love these retrospectives!

Amazing video, watching that makes me feel like I understand the current meta while in reality I don't. <3

I felt and still feel like the support cards for Seb was overcasted by 1 or 2 credits. It felt like those cards were balanced for Seb, rather than trying to make the self-tagging cards worth it for a normal anarch to run and Seb putting them over the edge

I *knew* pressure spike wasn't binder tier! Allowing shapers to finally break barriers without jumping through hoops was something I've thought Shaper needed for a long time. Also, my roommate feels you have personally wronged him by leaving Pretty Mary da Silva in the binder tier, especially while moving Spree up. This was very funny, and I encourage you to dunk on more of his pet cards.

On a list of the top cards of RWR, trickshot shows up like 4 times

It'll be interesting to see if Dawn brings a metagame slow enough that some of the more 'value' cards can see play; as you say, at the moment, you have to be prepared to be sprinting from turn 1 onwards or risk falling behind (with the exception of the most grind-focused control builds).

You keep motivating me to play Nuvem haha

Ashen SHOULD be a BAN ME PLZ card... but now corps just slam cards on board and end the game by turn 10 so this is a basically a binder now lol (And corps SHOULD end the game by turn 10 now cuz that freakin turbine doom rig just exists... )

Would have been REALLY funny if immediately after Jeff says "I'm going to share an anecdote that will probably be cut for time" there's a cut but he still tells his story

I love that you both waited to do this until around the end of continentals. This meta took a while to shake out (especially with the bans) so taking the extra time definitely added to the evaluation!

I told you about the See How They Run thing because it's exactly how I got flatlined some time ago. I was also cruising on points and then boom :D

My tinfoil hat obviously not true conspiracy theory is that NSG and their play testers hate Jinteki and Shaper and intentionally give them cards that are broken so that they can ban them

I come for Pat's hijinx, and instead I get gruesome toenail injuries. Great stream!

I find it hilarious that you talk about feels bad when bouncing resource with working prototype when 100% of corps and 50% of shapers bounce every corp card with Hermes sometimes multiple times a turn.

Physarium being a faction staple but for the wrong faction is so funny.

I watched all the tier lists in like 2 weeks when i first rediscovered Netrunner. lol awesome way to learn what is a good jumping off point for building something that looks fun.

New player so feel free to roast my takes. It's me, I'm the little guy under Hammer. Runner side: I despise Ashen Epilogue. I really do. I don't think decks should have a reset button. I think Cataloguer's biggest flaw is just the Corp meta in terms of deckbuilding. 3 pointers are sooo prevalent. Trying to flip off R&D consistently is so awkward when lots of Corps are loading up on 3 pointers to lower agenda density. The other big problem... they released Trick Shot in the same set. And Trick Shot is doing so much for R&D pressure, click compression and econ that Cataloguer just isn't necessary. I'm surprised you dragged Alarm Clock down, I see it happen in Deep Dive Sable occasionally. I think Jeitinho is actually quite necessary in case Corps keep running in the "make agendas impossible to find" archetype with like Drudge Works because you still have to be finding ins into centrals. We all wish Seb landed. That's all I can say about Anarch. Corp side: Powers That Be is an asset spam card. I see Ob, NBN and maybe Asa HB all considering it. Ob is so fun but so complicated. I think NSG cooked with the big W with this set. Bangers, across the board. My only problem is Logjam gives extra copies of Pharos which isn't healthy for the future, even if I like having an alternative to beat Boomerang. Holoman isn't the card that needs banned imo. I think it's Azmari. This stupid goddamn identity. Basically every identity pushes you into some sort of playstyle but Az says "play 40-44 and have an identity that is guaranteed to make money". Maybe YDL is the actual problem CARD, but Azmari is not a fun identity. Bellona is not something I mourn. Maybe I just don't like NBN. I do like Holo Man though, and Terminator tag was a fun deck. Why is Tributary 4 strength? That has always been the part that confused me. Feels like 0 strength 1 sub would make more sense for its mechanics. That said, the set proved me wrong with me thinking Jinteki ICE is bad with Boto. I think there are too many tech cards that are also just good engine that Runners have for Jinteki net kills to be real right now. I actually like how HB came out. Nothing feels too out of control. I guess that's because I don't care about Thunderbolt.

I think it bears mention that the Seb archetype, and everything around it, is very real in Startup. There's something cohesive there but it gets outpaced something fierce in Standard. The same is true of Thunderbolt! I'll be curious to revisit this set post-Dawn when a ton of established staples rotate out and we're entirely in the NSG cardpool across all formats.

dawn 24 hours of analysis or bust

I will never admit I was wrong on any card ever 🤐

Ooh, been waiting for this! Here's my own changes before I watch, as a little guesswork: Crew and Cataloger down to Archetype Enabler. Seb, Amelia, Manuel down to Slots are Hard (although I still believe Amelia will show up in a winning competitive deck someday, but it's super niche.) Muse up to Archetype Enabler (definitely enables the Rosetta list, also really strong with Physarum). Valentina and Malandragem down to Slots are Hard. Physarum up to Ban Me Plz. Woppertunity up to role-player (control Crim). Possibly Cup up to role-player as well (control Shaper). Meeting down to binder. Pressure Spike up to... not sure, it sees a fair amount of play but isn't exactly a staple? But faction staple might be the most accurate tier name, since it's almost like the non-archetype generalist fracter. 'Pretty' Mary up to role-player.

Love these!!!

Started playing Sky Team very recently on BoardGameArena, and it's awesome! Actually playing it right now :D Incidentally, there's currently a Math Trade happening in Montreal, if you have a bunch of boardgames to trade!

I believe this is actually my game (as Corp), haha - Stratagem. Embarrassing to watch it now - I think this was the first or second time I tried the decklist from your previous video and I didn't feel comfortable trying to go a more aggressive route to close the game and defaulted to my typical hyperglacier playstyle. I definitely prefer more grindy games where in the lategame the competition of economy with the runner is more my style. I feel like I've improved a lot against criminal decks since this since I'm more familiar with the various criminal cards you normally see!

I must admit, I'm sad that they kept the "Accelerated Meta Test" name; no matter how much NSG insists it's a casual event, the name gives off intense "competitive" vibes. A significant proportion of players won't even get the ancient card reference, either, which means it's a miss on both counts...

Byes don't just encourage winners at lower-level tournaments to play at the next higher tournament. They also incentivize players who are mostly interested in the higher levels to compete in lower tournaments. And higher-skill players skipping the first round gives everyone else time to warm up (or filter out, shuffle around in the swiss, etc.)

I like Intercontinentals and the prizes there! Will the CBI winners be getting card art?

Really enjoyed watching this (I might be bias though!) - thanks for this :)

I would love to see this come to Lloydminster. Basically dead center between Edmonton Calgary Saskatoon and Regina. perfect spot for like Midwest region.

Thanks for covering this!

I have just started playing Netrunner in Montreal and my partner ALSO crochets. Any chance you can share some patterns? She's always looking for new projects.

How is Lobisomeme not one counter per subroutine on a barrier I'll never understand

Every deck I build start with the word tempo, most ending up grinded to lose after 15 turns.

I am sorry about my fellow taibreakers behaviour and queing the 59 BtL list on stream. This will be repeated in the future with diffrent toxic af decks but still sorry 😔(/j)

I don't think advancable ICE is problematic unless there's too many printed. I feel like the number of barrier advancable infinite scaling ICE currently out right now is a biiittt much. Like, if a deck is on 2 playsets it's not the end of the world. But we have 4 really good advancable ICE that all scale well (and Border Control, which isn't the problem but is exacerbating it).

What’s the difference between a banned card and a cycled out card?

1:16:54 I'm not planning on playing much online, and got burnt out by net decking in mtg. Hoping a "local meta" develops in my house, where we can learn some deck building best practices and just try stuff. They don't have to be the best and what's legal (we own original core and all NSG stuff) doesn't matter as much (although we'll start small and maybe once standard is just NSG, follow that)

This video and the last replay review have been some of my favorite videos you've published, love these replay deep dives!

Give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money needing a lot now.

That replay was so much fun, thanks to both players and the grid for sharing it

Thank you

Thanks a lot for the video. This series is awesome for people like me learning how to become a better player. As a newcomer, I find more difficult to play as Corp, maybe because they need to lead and it's easier to just response to problems as a runner with the confidence that the late game is yours. Keep'em coming!

I enjoy both the chat and the games. I think a better mix would be nice sometimes, not 2h talk then 2h games but more intertwined - watching decks getting played that I don't have time to check out myself is something I really love :)

I was just going to see the first few turns to get some good insights but ended up watching the whole thing and went to bed way past midnight. Ooops. Great content.

Love this review - I've been playing Built to Blast a lot and really enjoying it! These insights should be super helpful.
