This. So much this.
Seconded, sir! I actually was getting really tired of his spoilers. I missed the days when I would open a pack and have no clue what half the cards in it were. There’s no “thrill of the chase” with this game like in a standard CCG, so just about the only excitement involving the packs is the mystery of what’s in them. I mean, it was something like two months between Snow-jax’s text spoilers for Order & Chaos and the release date.
I don’t know about anyone else, but by that point I was getting extremely annoyed and just wanted it to be here already. With his constant spoiling of entire packs, my excitement and anticipation has basically turned into impatience for the product to hit shelves.
Exactly. In my opinion, NBN as a whole has been lacking in cards that define them as a “news corporation.” They definitely need more cards like Daily Business Cast and Product Placement. I’ll be the first to admit the goldenrods have got a lot of great cards, but this is actually news-related, so I can’t really begrudge them this.

Also it seems like NBN has a sub-theme of “we have really good assets at really low influence costs.” DBS, Jackson, Reversed Accounts, and now this one.
At least it’s not 1 influence.

Not sure what is the current Stimhack take on spoilers, but a guy has been spoiling a few card on 4chan and snow-jax has confirmed it. I can post it here if people want.
Please don’t. (my opinion only)

This is a thread called “SanSan Cycle Spoilers.” I think you’re fine.

For those interested in reading the 4-chan speculation. Nothing super interesting yet, imo, but a couple cards discussed.

Here is a summary for those that don’t like 4chan, I’ll update as soon as we get more info.
Anarch Genetics - Costs 3, 2 influence, first time each turn you lose a click, gain a click.
9 - Shaper Genetics
Synthetic Blood
2(?) to play, can’t recall the influence right now
Resource: Genetics
The first time you are dealt damage each turn, draw 1 card.
Card number 20 from The Valley:
Asset, Neutral, 0 inf
0 to rez, 1 to trash
"When your turn begins, you may trash ~. If you do, search R&D for an asset, reveal it, and install it. Shuffle R&D"
The only cards you guys haven’t seen spoiled from Valley are:
2 - Interesting Anarch Journalist
7 - My favourite card art in Netrunner
10 - HB card mentioning Bioroids
11 - Next Gold
16: Weird NBN card that will probably never see play
17: NBN Currrent that makes agendas harder to steal, thus making the Current harder to turn off.
Its a current, 1 influence, the runner needs to pay 2 credits to steal an agenda. 0 cost.
Criminal ID - The first time you use a [Thrash] ability, draw a card.
NBN ID - The runner cannot steal more than agenda each turn.

I do like how they’retrying to push NBN into scoring shit in remotes again.
On the other hand, that card is probably going to end up being abused to make you pay 6 to steal NAPD. Sigh.

“First time you use a Trash Ability, Draw A Card” Criminal eh? So that’s the ID that synnergizes with disposable breakers…
I… don’t think that’s enough to make them viable yet. And since it’s not enough yet, that means that any support card probably won’t make them viable at all. He’d better have incredible cardsize/influence to pay for such a weak, niche ability or else he’s going to be Exile 2.0, with one weird deck.

“The first time” on that ability is a brütal limitation.

lol what a fail… even without “first time” he/she hwould be niche, with that clause it’s worse than exile

List of “Trash Effect” Cards:
Disruptor, Incubator, Investigative Journalism, Sacrificial Clone, Tallie Perrault, Cortez Chip, Crecentus, Gorman Grip V1, Grappling Hook, Crash Space, Decoy, Fall Guy, Clone Chip, Feedback Filter, Deus X, LLDS Energy Regulator, Self Modifying Code, Sharpshooter, All Nighter, Sacrificial Construct, The Helpful AI, the Shards, Raymond Flint, Same Old Thing.
And the upcoming cloud breakers (known on /tg/ as the Home Invasion suite), the console (Forger), as well as Street Peddler and Muertos Gang Member.
Not saying the ID ability is good, just that there are cards that exist to support it in theory.

Trash SMC, draw the program you wanted to SMC for.
Sounds fun.

I’m not sure if that’s the order of actions. I thought triggers happened after the activation completed.
You can splice Foundry’s ability during ABT fires. I’d imagine this is exactly the same.
