Thursday Aug 10, 2017
Thursday Aug 10, 2017
On our agenda:
- Wilfy and Jesse dive into the world of Free Mars (bars), with more jokes about martians and chocolate bars than you can shake a stick at!
- This pack features two new very powerful AI programs, God of War and Maven. The panel talks you takes you through the attributes and shortcomings of each, and how they might best be used to terrorise your opponents' ICE.
- Na'Not'K is as close to a green Mimic as we could hope for - will this free up some important influence in Shaper?

Episode 132 - Blood and Water (Corp)
Monday Jul 31, 2017
Monday Jul 31, 2017
On our agenda:
- It's a jam-packed corp side of the pack, with 13 cards to discuss!
- How does Wilfy rate this pack where 100% of the purple cards are bioroids? Does he have the inside scoop on Loki? Did they go to bioroid daycare together?
- Obokata Protocol is one of the better agendas to come out recently, and certainly ranks up there with the better 5/3s in the game. When and where does the panel see it being played?
- "Success" completes the trifecta of fast advance options from the Jemison identity card's subtitle. How does this triple stack up against Sacrifice and Audacity, and how does it compare to its closest friend, Red Planet Couriers?
- Is Whampoa Reclamation the new Jackson, or is another card secretly the best Jackson impersonator in this pack?
- Mass Commercialisation is a very powerful new economy event for all corps. How and when will it be utilised?

Monday Jul 24, 2017
Monday Jul 24, 2017
On our agenda:
- Our ANZAC episode, the original episode 130 has gone missing! Hopefully we will be able to relocate it soon, and in the meantime, episode 131 is ready to take its place!
- Wilfy has a brand new award to talk about! What is it? You'll have to listen to find out. Hint: he's already won it 8 times before!
- Blood and Water is packed full of cards exploring interesting design space. Join the panel as we move well and truly into the second half of the Red Sands Cycle.
- Will Alice Merchant do what Omar has so far not quite managed, and emerge as a force in the competitive metagame in and of herself (i.e. not just as a Rebirth target!?)
- Is Jargoniew Mercs the new Plascrete for the new world? Or does it ask a bit too much to be a staple across different types of decks?

(The second part of TD Weyland is coming! Probably next week!)

- This is a very deep pack, and there's lots to talk about with a swathe of powerful cards.

Episode 125 - Terminal Directive - Brewing with Seidr
Sunday Jun 04, 2017
Sunday Jun 04, 2017
On our agenda:
- This week the panel takes a close look at the (allegedly) shady industry that is Seidr Laboratories.
- Wilfy takes the principled and predictable position of defending the shadowy dealings of this new corporate behemoth, insisting that we should all move along and there's nothing to see here.
- Upon closer inspection, the panel uncovers a couple of powerful new agendas, a potentially very busted asset that is now the flavour of the month, and a new campaign that compares favourably to existing options.
- As is often the case, the ICE leaves much to be desired on the whole, but there may be some sleeper diamonds in the rough.

Sunday May 21, 2017
Sunday May 21, 2017
On our agenda:
- Ayla "Bios" Rahim presents a powerful new option for Shaper players. Wilfy and Jesse go deep on the comparison with Andromeda, analysing how Ayla is similar to and how she differs from the most consistent criminal ID of all time. Does Ayla's ability synergise better with Shaper's core strategy? Listen in and find out!
- The double-up devil breakers - the cycle is now complete, but will they see any competitive play?
- Will Deep Data Mining enable some satisfyingly subterranean R&D exploration, or is it too hard to consistently enable across the course of the game?
- Mem chips and Daemons - how do the latest Shaper models stack up?
- There are some weird old Neutral cards rolling around at the bottom of the runner side of this box - are any of them playable?
