Standard Ban List 24.05 Recap - Android: Netrunner 

Tributary is honestly like a Jinteki wet dream card it looks so cool... Which is probably the first sign it needed to go lmao

At 1 Str it would've been OK, but 4 Str. Was a wild decision for sure.

coldlava suggested this, but if Tributary only moved at start of turn similiarly to Thimblerig, I think it'd be pretty neat.

Would you rather fight 100 bad positional Jinteki code gates, or 1 really good positional Jinteki code gate?

Salvaged Vanadis Armory was banned in less than two months, as far as I remember. I also never got that card to a table. Eternal still won't let me.

I imagine we're definitely going to see breaker stuff in the next post-Continentals ban list.

Okay, without writing an essay, I'll keep it to three points: - The game is asymmetric. The Corporation player plays all their cards facedown on the table, while the Runner has to navigate this constant evolving playground of risk and uncertainty. Baked in to the core gameplay mechanics, we have bluffing, on the fly risk management, and a constant source of intrigue, as cards get rezzed and the game develops. It's always exciting. - The game has an action economy. On your turn you have four 'actions'. Those actions include the likes of "play a card", "draw a card", or "make a run". The possibility space of what any given turn can look like is so incredibly large. Do you want to find a certain card in your deck? Start by drawing up. Do you want to be aggressive and force the Corporation to rez some ice? Start running everything. Do you want to set up your economy for the mid-game? Let's play some cards. On turn one, you don't just simply play your one-drop and pass. You have an immense amount of player expression out of the gate. - The game is as accessible as any game can be. As a non-profit organization, NSG provides all of their cards in a 'pay what you want' print-and-play format. Proxies are allowed at all levels of organized play. While NSG does have an online store that sells professionally printed copies of their releases, you can go down to your library and print out an entire collection for a couple of dollars. People are playing in the World Championship top cut with black and white photocopies. Removing the financial burden is such a big deal, not only for accessibility of competitive play, but for accessibility of creative casual play. And as a cheeky fourth point, the community is absolutely incredible.

Ob will definitely continue to be an ongoing problem for Netrunner design. A super sick problem we all love.
