Anarch Event: Run

Play cost: 1 – Influence cost: 1

Run any server. The first time the Corp would end that run, prevent the run from ending unless the Corp reveals and trashes X cards from HQ at random. X is equal to the number of cards in the root of the attacked server.

I see this falling into a tier above niche utility card. Not high above niche utility card, but I think it’ll see play outside of tech for Anoetic Void and Manegarm Skunkworks. When? Not often, but maybe every now and then as a pseudo-Bankhar on servers you know have a barrier somewhere. Also I guess as protection against that new HB identity.

They reprinted Biotic Labor. It’s a word for word reprint. Even the influence is the same.

Jinteki Identity: Division

Minimum Deck Size: 45 – Influence: 15

Whenever you do damage or trash 1 or more cards from HQ, place 1 power counter on this identity.

When your turn begins, you may remove 2 hosted power counters to look at the top 3 cards of R&D. Trash 1 of those cards and add the rest to HQ.

I’m sorry chat, we’re cooked. We’re so fucking cooked. They printed better Maxx in Jinteki. If you thought drawing 1 additional card every turn was strong, how about drawing 2 additional cards each turn? On top of that, here is every single card that enables AU Co. That’s a lot! That’s some numbers! And you can stockpile counters! And Your Digital Life is only 2 influence! Literally the only way this deck loses is if Jinteki as a faction turns out to not have the tools to play regular Netrunner.

If reg Jinteki becomes a thing, this deck will be at the forefront and it will be terrifying. It might still be terrifying anyways.

Note

The original version of this review mistakenly…

Neutral Resource: Job

Install cost: 2 – Influence cost: 0

When you install this resource and whenever a run begins, place 1 credit on this resource.

When there are 6 or more hosted credits, take all credits from this resource, trash it, and draw 1 card.

What is the value of adding the phrase "draw a card" to a card? What I mean is: imagine you had a card that was running a bit weak. How much would it increase the power level solely from slapping "draw a card" to the very end of it? How much value does it give?

In Hearthstone, "draw a card" is worth approximately 1.5 mana,¹, and something I'd hear is that Blizzard would make a card, realize it was under or overpowered in a way that can't be fixed by tweaking numbers, and would solve this problem by sticking "draw a card" or "discover a card" on it.

Anyways, all of this is a really long winded way of saying that Side Hustle is too weak. The numbers are too…

Minimum Deck Size: 45 – Influence: 17 – mu limit: 4 – Base link: 0

Light up, flame out, and burn it all down.

The SBT groundhog saw its shadow and we all know what that means: 2 more years of Hoshiko¹!

That’s right, the ban list for elevation came out and while they thought it was prudent to go for Creative Commission (valid), Daily Casts (interesting but go off), and Moshing (boo), Hoshiko will continue her reign as the de facto best ID in Netrunner until Ashes rotates out I guess.

What does this have to do with the new kid on the block? It means our dearly beloved Ryō “Phoenix” Ōno will probably see about as much play as Seb and Esâ do now; not much but still above fringe. It’s a shame because I really love the vibes Ryō is giving off. They’re Anarch ID that rewards you for playing aggr…

netrunner mentioned!!!

that's right, i've been following these the whole time. every time belarius posted a bulletin board nonsense with netrunner, i've been collecting them in a folder to post when i am back on my website bullshit. i am truly undefeatable.

hope you didn't lose faith in me belarius.

doing something i've never done before and saying that the new jinteki card looks really neat. i can't review it yet because i kinda lives and dies on its support, but it looks good!
