Ey Andrej! :D So cool to see the PE on stream :D Good job as always! Sorry to hear about the unfortunate ID with Brandon, wish you better luck in the next one!
So I definitely heard the ‘flavour text’ for Two slices of Toast as ‘Breeds using other fish’ - then heard you wax elastic about it - and was worried that you were entering your genuine Heel Phase - cause that’s much MUCH darker than what it actually was.
I fell asleep before the end of the stream and missed the rotation discussion, but thanks for the stream! Andrej happy to let some of the cool big W cards go surprised me (Cityworks forks nooo, Trojan Horse noooo). Losing Audacity is just a nerf to the whole faction. And Border Control... just make it say Trash: Remove this from the game instead of sending to Archives. It's so cooolllll. As a Crim main who only started after his reign ended, RIP 419. The turtle must fly on with you. To the next world you hold up. Kit and Inversificator are definitely the things I'll miss the most on Shaper. Maw might be the only Anarch card I care about. Mourning Asa Group but not caring about AgInfusion made me laugh. I quite like AgInfusion since it changes how both players view the game fundamentally. I think those are the only cards from HB and Jinteki (well that and Thimblerig).
I can't tell what I think about AgInfusion. On one hand, it's produced some of the most interesting chess-like games I've ever played. But on the other hand, run events are fun, and I don't like breaking Anansi seven times in the same game.
@MetropoleGrid Yeah, I ran into an AgInf game that scored a Sisyphus Protocol and had a Cloud Eater rezzed and it just got out of hand (12 to break!). It's a shame but if they want to print big ICE like that then I don't think AgInfusion can be allowed to stay even if I really like what the ability does to change the way players see the game.
I'm surprised you haven't seen a PE game yet go: Turn 1, ice Rashida. Turn 2, pop Rashida, IAA. (Technically the Rashida does not even need to land, just improves consistency.) Turn 3, score SHTR, play EotL.
The reason is because when playing into shell game it's always correct to run an IAA. The worst case is Cerebral Overwriter, but all other cases you profit (you run into Urtica? Just draw back up with the rest of the turn. If it's an Agenda? It's yours!). Whiteblade has an excellent article on Stimhack on how to beat shell game.
I've put together the deck to give the idea a try. Money is a bit more important than it sounds, since you probably need to rez an ice or two, and the See How They Run plus End of the Line costs a minimum of seven credits. I think it's definitely possible, and I'll give it a shot.

This was a great stream. I laughed every few minutes
All hail Gwumbus, the new mascot for the Metropole Grid.
I wish next ice would return

Gwumbus better be an anarch breaker at some point. Or like, Keiko's less popular cousin.
A netrunner glossary would be nice :)
SSS, DSS and such is a bit confusing at times.

For christ sake man, stop wailing every time you lose a game because you misplayed
