follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

AD is a dumb card.

General balance:
Also, Estelle Moon is crazy good even in just that limited card pool. Install her plus any two of PAD Campaign, Marilyn Campaign, Adonis Campaign, upgrades, etc. and get some great profit.
Failing a Caution:
Stickering cards:
Overall, it's nice to have an excuse to get back into casual Netrunner, but I feel like there's huge potential here that they haven't tapped into as much as they could have. Now that the system rules are in place though, it could be fun to write up a fan campaign.
eta: oh yeah, noticed that the Recommended Decks on the back of the manual include 3x of some cards that only appear twice in a Core Set. Can't even follow your own rules, can you FFG.

Bug Out Bag is a card I wish was around when I was actually playing. Nice design and very Criminal-centric card draw.
Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
Having a remote of clone suffrage + warroid basically forces the runner into either having a massive credit lead, or giving up the entire board.
Keyhole does trigger warroid with its current wording doesn't it? However if it's in a central root trashing the warroid itself does not trigger?
I think eater keyhole just got a bit worse against moons
Mass Commercialization may be my sleeper favorite card of the deck. ...not just because I've been playing BoN a bunch lately...

daredevil is most comparable to Ubax, which is already really good
not sure which of them is better
maui is definitely garbo, however
other scoops:
mercs seem like a playable tech card that will see play based on the prevalence of meat damage in the meta, but maybe not until after plascrete rotates
bug out bag seems...just okay? not sure how much criminals need more resource draw right now, especially since it doesn't have a good interaction with Career Fair
if there's a derez deck, Keros is going in it, not much else to say about him
mass-driver is....maybe good? code gates don't tend to have a ton of subs so the inefficient breaking might not matter, but 2 mu for an expensive breaker is a big ask, even if it is efficient. it's not for nothing people don't play battering ram or morning star or torch.
warroid tracker is taxing but I'm not sure there are deck slots for it in the Moon decks that seem like its most natural home right now. but then, if Timmy can find room for Ronnie Five, maybe folks can find room for this. it's also pretty good eater/keyhole protection but I think a lot of the time you probably just have crisium grid for that.
loki is good in exactly Architects, otherwise this isn't leaving the binder.
obokata is bizoinks.
I don't know where to begin evaluating Miraju. I think I need to play it.
for a second I thought Shipment from Tennin was a double and that it was therefore obviously the worst corp card printed in quite some time. but it isn't, it's actually pretty good. being able to score an installed Nisei from nothing is strong, as is FA philotic or house of knives, or single-advanced GFI or TFP, and all in-faction.
there are only a couple NBN decks that would consider running Escalate Vitriol and they probably just stick with Explode-a-palooza.
reeducation has the same problem that most other 5/3s have. how are you scoring it?
there's probably too much link out there right now to be using traffic analyzer
people are gonna figure out a way to make meteor mining kill decks and it's gonna be rad
standoff is going directly into my Jemison deck
not sure Success fits in any deck. it has a positive interaction with the public agendas, which is nice, but I'm not sure that's enough, even in Jemison, since they don't really have any other reason to run those. might be worth testing.
whampoa reclamation probably won't see play while Jackson is still around, but maybe it goes in the current CI7 deck. in six months or whenever rotation happens people are gonna try stuff to fix their agendas and this is gonna be on the list of options.
mass commercialization is a staple synergy card for a deck that doesn't exist and this isn't enough to make that happen right now.
keyhole definitely triggers warroid tracker
addendum: warroid also triggers off trashing itself, even if it's in the root of a central server, because of the text "(including warroid tracker)"
Reeducation is not so much the problem of "how do I score this" it's "oh hey the runner could steal this and only need three agendas to win" that real 5/3s have.
Shipment From Tennin and Trick of Light is going to make for some interesting FA Jinteki decks. Lets you score 4/2s from hand. People gonna be needing Clot again (those who weren't on lock Hayley anyway)
Loki is also good in NEXT ice decks, and decks that only want to run Mother Goddess and Excalibur. Potentially good in Grail decks, but only because the Grail ice will have a lot of subroutines.
Bug Out Bag is gonna combo with Faust crim decks. Apparently you can also Fall Guy it and keep it around even after it pops?
Gmercs are an Anarch plascrete. Two clicks to install and remove the tag, costs you one less credit but an extra click. Alternately if you don't care about the tags (tag-me with Obelus) it's a bonus.
Here is why I am thinking that warroid is better than crisium grid against eater/keyhole.
I feel like warroid is a great way to setup a prison lock, basically allowing HB to have Controlling The Message ability on a stick.
I think something like the following deck:
https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/43255/moons-mashup-3rd-at-us-nats-etx-june-4-2017
where the virtual tours and team sponsorship are Warroid Tracker's would be a good starting point.
Edit: add spoiler and an example deck
I wish it was any server, not just HQ

not sure where he's getting that stuff about release dates, though

Also that there's a very good chance of rotation being active for Worlds.

Not sure yet what I'm taking but it's probably either siphon whizz or andy for runner
corp... I'm tempted to take CI but I'm not sure I have the time to practice it enough. Moons feels too expected, I think people will tech for it a whole lot. SYNC is a big option, but I'm also toying around with a new Tennin deck now...

the ruling itself is correct. that's what the words mean. I doubt it was the intent.
it's just... I am having a hard time remembering the last data pack that didn't need an errata.
Things like this and Audacity, etc makes me really think that Friends was a Weyland card at one point.
