On our agenda:
- Jesse and Wilfy take a trip back to New Angeles and get into the mindset of notorious cybercriminal Steve Cambridge.
- Despite Wilfy being adamant that Steve is a 'bad guy', the panel takes an 'unbiased' look at Steve himself and his array of tools, programs and friends in the Terminal Directive big box.
- Will the conspiracy breakers see play? How relevant is their "trash to bypass" ability?
- Does the Mammon shell bring an entirely new playstyle to blue?
- Will ICE derezzing and bypassing, and econ denial, be a bigger feature of criminal decks in the future?
- What are some ways that Jesse and Wilfy can see these new criminal tools making a splash in the competitive metagame?

On our agenda:
- The panel takes a step back to look at recent and upcoming developments in the game, including Terminal Directive, Cache Refresh and the MWL.
- Before their first playthrough, the panel reflects on the structure of the Terminal Directive big box, its place in the ANR card pool and how they rate it as a concept.
- Cache Refresh, an exciting new format (https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/62/f4/62f4fc98-0ef7-4a24-af2a-48f773f69782/adn-2017-limited-info-sheet.pdf), allows players to try an officially sanctioned limited-card pool format! Will this be a good way to introduce new players to the game? Will older players embrace it? Will Jesse and Wilfy be giving it a go?
- The NAPD Most Wanted List 3.0 shook up the game in a really positive way. Jesse and Wilfy discuss what the MWL has meant for players, how it has refreshed the game, and what decks they have been trying out since it came into effect.
- Shoutout to Alexis "theladywhowasmeantome" Spicer, who has joined our editing group to help us bring you sweet sweet content!

Friday Feb 24, 2017
On our agenda:
- Jesse and Wilfy discuss Wilfy's latest Store Champs triumph - what were his decks, how did he celebrate, and what is it like being a plaque blocker? Do we need to alert the rogue bioroid recovery unit about his "unusual" behaviour?
- Does Maw do enough to see play, or would it need to do a bit Maw in order to make our decks?
- Will we be able to Exploit the Weakness in corp decks at the moment, or is it sufficient do just go with a classic Emergency Shutdown in that slot?
- It's a Mad Dash through the runner side of the pack - what will we take with us and cram into our decks before we get onto the corp cards?
- Thank you to our listener who provided us with the definitive answer to the Sifr pronunciation question!

Tuesday Feb 14, 2017
On our agenda:
- Wilfy, Hollis and Jesse get their heads together to consider what is going on in this crazy, wild meta at the end of the Flashpoint Cycle.
- Jesse and Wilfy share a new brew they've been working on, letting you in on the draft stage and talking through how they're trying to harness the power of some new cards to spice up an underutilised old archetype.
- Wilfy's emotion chip has overloaded, so he delivers some of his classic deadpan bioroid lines, reminding us of his days as a 1.0
