On our agenda:
Special Guest Damon Stone, Lead Developer of Android: Netrunner!
- With the recent announcement of the NAPD Most Wanted List, we got in
contact with Damon Stone in order to pick his brain on each and every
aspect of the list! Sourcing questions from listeners all over the
world, Damon gives and open an honest interview regarding the decision
behind the Most Wanted List.
- In our first segment, we ask Why is the MWL needed in the game? Why the MWL and not a restricted or banned list?
How often will cards be added or removed? Will a new Core Set with
different cards be released? How does FFG monitor the metagame to make
the decisions to add cards to the MWL?
- We then move into a card-by-card breakdown of the Most Wanted List. For your convenience, we have the times for each individual card listed below:
"Lady" 18:50
Clone Chip 22:11
Desperardo 26:37
Parasite 30:36
PrePaid VoicePad 33:56
Yog.0 36:54
Architect 42:19
AstroScript Pilot Program 46:03
Eli 1.0 52:43
NAPD Contract 55:32
SanSan City Grid 59:26
- We round off the interview with a few more general questions about the future of Android: Netrunner, including Why doesn't Jackson Howard appear on the MWL? How do you go about design to fill spaces left by card rotation? Why was Wireless Net Pavilion changed? Is there any progress on the Netrunner Judge program? Is there concern about newer players being unaware of the MWL? Is there an Android RPG on the horizon?

On our agenda:
Data and Destiny Deck-Stravaganza!
Brian Holland's Spark Agency Aggro
- Remember how Brian has been losing his shit about Spark recently? (So much so that he even wrote some goddam Fiction about it). Well, he's now ready to unveil the deck he has been testing and loving! Spark opens up some fantastic avenues to unique strategy and deck-building, and we think we might be onto something!
Jesse Marshall's Apex Midrange
- Of the three Runners introduced in D&D, Apex is easily the most diverse, and Panelist Jesse Marshall has been brewing a list over the past weeks. Exploiting the power of a strong event economy centered around PPVP, this list is sure to take Apex in a unique direction.
