There is no world where Plutus is a mediocre card. There's only two possibilities for it once it hits the table: either Plutus warps the game around it, becoming the main enabler of the corp's current strategy and the number one priority target for the runner, or it is unplayable garbage that requires too much investment for not enough payoff and actively hurts the corp's game.

NBN Operation: Double

Play cost: 2 – Influence cost: 3

As an additional cost to play this operation, spend click.

Place 2 advancement counters on 1 installed card you can advance. If you do, choose a card type and reveal the grip. Choose up to 2 revealed cards of that type. The Runner shuffles those cards into the stack.

Yeesh. Look at the chin on that guy.

The value of this card is based entirely on if you'd be willing to constrain two of your clicks to "clicklessly" do maybe 2 pseudo-damage to the runner. Is that worth it? Let me tell you: it would be if that 2 pseudo-damage was in any way consistent. Then this could be part of a Measured Response kill combo. Unfortunately, you'd have to be able to ensure that the runner had 2 of whatever card type you're calling out. (How hard could it be? There's only 3 card types in the game!) Outside of that, I don't think this is good enough to see play as targeted hand r…

HB glacier in full swing and no longer restricted by 12 influence either! I've always felt Isaac was a very good card, it just needed a deck and this is where you slap in 3x and feel good about it. This is very much purple ag and knowing how busted and annoying ag was, this feels so much more with stegodon, triestes (and god forbid some prison build that no one is cooking certainly). This definitely needs more bioroid support though, the question is will we see it?

Additionally this also warps future bioroid design space, that does seem like a downside but I feel the addition of a glacier ID that doesn't rely on advanceable ice is worth the trade off.

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.

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…

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…
