I want to play this game so bad but my copy of System Gateway is stuck in Canada Post's hands. This platform will be a nice replacement in the meantime!
Oof, sorry to hear! Keep in mind that there are print-and-play files on Null Signal Games' website, so if you want to get some paper play in over the holidays, you have a small crafts project to dive in to. Welcome to the game, eh.
Great content and learning moment ! I thing i would love to see is how you would approach the enrichment of Zahya and the Precision design deck expanding to the full Startup format as this is also fairly popular on Jinteki.
Startup is a tricky topic to tackle at the moment, since in less than three months, the card pool is shifting significantly with the rotation of System Update 2021. I'm considering doing a quick 'Startup deck upgrade' video for these decks as you've suggested, but I don't feel great diving deeper into Startup until the card pool settles. It's awkward, for sure. Thanks for the kind words and the great suggestion, eh!

Nice commentary and its great that you trusted the process. One thing I kept thinking is that the agenda density in R&D kept getting higher since you had more info on what’s in HQ and archives. I would’ve run R&D more often and earlier. I didn’t understand why you would not do the same.
If I'm not mistaken, the agenda density of R&D never shifted higher than the expected 20%, even when we knew the contents of HQ. For example, at 42:00, when we figured out the entirety of HQ, R&D held 31 cards. With two agendas in score areas and none in HQ, we know there are still six agendas left amongst the 31 in R&D. That's cleanly the 20% agenda density that we expect in a 'neutral' state. You're totally right that information on the contents of HQ does shift the value of running R&D, but it takes a lot more 'non-agenda draws' to significantly impact the expected value of running R&D. Separately, we could have considered running R&D sooner to chase out the Corp's credits, but we were making good money locking HQ at the time. I'm glad you've been enjoying the content, eh!
Thank you for the video. Feedback: you gesture to the viewers left when referring to the viewers right. Not a big deal but it would flow more naturally if you gestured toward and not away from what you are referring to.
One big thing your recording didn't capture is your mouse at the start. You frequently say "over here" or "this textbox" and it's often not clear what area the viewer should look at
@@MetropoleGrid I think in SG the Runner, especially criminal, has a way stronger and recursive economy with Zahya, Pennyshaver, Docklands etc. Its actually just clicking for your runs and get monex on the way. Where the corp is way slower and way more finite in their options via assets. Criminals grow stronger via out-econ the corp, where it should be the opposite. I feels like one is playing a very aggressive, run focussed deck, that is willing to pressure early but does not fall off after the Corp stabilized
I appreciate your current focus on System Gateway.
Looks like a Haas-Bioroid Christmas colour scheme in the background!
Loving this beginner content!
You are a Netrunner-Sensei!

Luckily, the mouse reappears after the first five minutes. I have no idea why that happened, and I missed it the edit. Beans.
Runners Econ, especially Criminal, in SG seems far off to Corps.
Which side do you think has the stronger economy?
