Weekend Netrunning

[Brian Cronin]

Lots of exciting news in the ANR world lately!

The new MWL list was announced today and it confirms the leak from last week. We now have restricted and "removed" cards. No more MWL universal influence. This is a lot more strict than the old system and I am extremely happy with the bold new approach!

If you stopped playing around the Mumbad cycle but still love the game, now is a great time to try it out again.

Onto this weekend's events!

Saturday we are playing a post-rotation, core 2.0, new MWL tournament at Eudemonia. Click here for more details and pre-register.

The easiest way to build post-rotation is to go into the "Collection" tab in NRDB and deselect the rotated out cards. You should also make sure to select the Revised Core Set at the very bottom.

Sunday Justin is hosting a Cache Refresh tournament at Black Diamond Games in Concord.

(note: the event details in this link will be updated in a few hours to reflect some minor deck building changes)

He created custom alt arts which are just beautiful!

The format is Cache Refresh standard with Revised Core and and latest MWL.

Get out there and run the nets!

Wow, they're wielding the ban hammer now. I like it.

Kind of surprised how the restricted list works.... I would have thought it would be only 1 copy of the card allowed? Lots of Shaper cards on that restricted list...

One lesson from MtG is that if you restrict powerful cards to single copies, you vastly increase the power of tutors.

I actually really like their solution of "you can have x3 from any ONE thing in this list..."  It allows cards that are reasonable in a vacuum to exist, while stripping them of the combo pieces that make them broken.

That makes sense. Also, maybe it doesn't lead to as many incidental deck nerfs?

Absolutely. The field pre-rotation, post-rotation minus these changes, and post-rotation with these changes are each pretty wildly different. It's great.
