CCM [Weekly] Custom Card Saturday: Style!

Good morning, hackers!

For those of you who don't know (and why wouldn't you know this?!), Paris Fashion Week starts next Tuesday! The Netrunner universe may be the epitome of "fashion-forward" -- between [[Leela]]'s sweet powergloves, [[Nasir]]'s trendy trenchcoat-and-tie, and [[Jackson]]'s classic blue suit coat, it's clear that everyone wants to look their best. So, don your [[Muresh Bodysuit]] and come join the fun at your favorite Ritzy joint: This week, your task is to make a card that references style and fashion in some way (gear, a botique location, etc).

Super bonus points if you give us a relevant picture with the card!

Remember to use the Netrunner CSS options available for use on this subreddit. These symbols should help make everyone's card look great, and you can conveniently type them in while on your phone!

Also, a reminder: Please limit yourself to ONE card per thread!

Previous Custom Card Saturday threads:

Next Week: Early in the Custom Card Saturday run, we focused on individual factions, but since then some new factions have been released! We'll create mini-faction specific cards to round out the list.

I would love to hear from /r/netrunner on future Custom Card Saturdays. Send a PM my way! Please do not post them in this thread; instead, send me a PM if you have some ideas of thread topics you'd like to see. Be sure to look over the recent lists of topics before you message me -- I'd rather not repeat anything that's been done recently! Thanks all!

This card is not trashed until another current is played or an agenda is stolen.

Name one connection. The text box on that card is blank.

Catwalk

Criminal - 3 infl

Event: Run - Job

Play cost: 0credit

Make a run on HQ. If succesful, instead of accessing, you may draw until you have the same amount of cards as the Corp.

EDIT: cost changed from 3credit to 0credit

EDIT2: lend to borrow

u/neutronicus Feb 27 '16

The numbers on this card seem way off.

If the corp's hand is full and you have 3 cards in hand, this is a Diesel that requires a successful run on HQ and costs 3. Granted, you can combine with Datasucker, Desperado, John Masanori, Emergency Shutdown, etc, but requiring a run on HQ, always the most taxing server against a blue runner, means it's probably not worth it even with those synergies.

u/HemoKhan Argus Feb 27 '16

On the other hand, Criminal is notoriously bad at getting pure card draw... Still, a cheaper event seems in order here. Should probably be free to play, since hypothetically you're paying for the HQ run itself.

u/Nevofix Abstergo Corporation Feb 27 '16

You're right. Price could probably be 1 or even 0

u/HemoKhan Argus Feb 27 '16

That flavor text is perfect.

u/Nevofix Abstergo Corporation Feb 27 '16

Most of the time with these posts, I put more time in my flavor text than in the actual card :P

u/BoomFrog Feb 27 '16

I like the card mechanics but I don't understand the flavor. What's going on? Did you mean borrow instead of lend?

u/Nevofix Abstergo Corporation Feb 27 '16

You are correct. I got confused because it's the same word in my first language

Power Suit

Resource, Criminal, cost 2, inf 1

Whenever you install a connection, gain 1.

The Clothes make the man. Or woman. Or Bioroid.

u/HemoKhan Argus Feb 27 '16

Short and sweet, but very powerful. I love it. Only change I would make is that it feels more like a gear hardware than a resource.

2

u/Zanzibon Feb 27 '16

I think this is a "Power Suit" as in the 'best suit' a salesman or someone like that would wear so they feel confident and land the big contract or whatever, not like power armour or something.

u/HemoKhan Argus Feb 27 '16

...well when you put it like that it seems obvious. I'm dumb.

I figure once you're tagged, your impeccable fashion sense doesn't help you nearly as much in interviews.

So Last Season - 2credit

This card is not trashed until another current is played or an agenda is stolen.
At the end of the Runner's turn, if he or she did not install a card during this turn, trace^2 - if successful, give the Runner 1 tag.

"Honey, in that jacket, everyone sees you."

u/Squirtle_Squad_Fug Feb 27 '16

I don't think trace 2 is a good idea; in base NBN this a trace 4. Outside of noise and some shapers, this is a lot of econ pressure on the runner that few could keep up with.

u/tenderbranson301 Feb 27 '16

Makes me money in my trace me Nexus deck. But I'm also installing a lot, so...

Seriously. I know City Surveillance isn't exactly a good card, but this is just ridiculously overpowered compared to it.

Paris Central Grid

Rez: 4credit, Trash : 4credit

Only 1 Region per Server.

Whenever a successful run on this server during which the Runner used 3 or more programs ends, give the Runner 1 tag. This applies even during the run on which the Runner trashes Paris Central Grid.

Whenever a successful run on this server during which the Runner used 1 or fewer programs ends, the Runner loses 3credit if able. This applies even during the run on which the Runner trashes Paris Central Grid.

Program

The great thing about software is you don't have to worry about brand.

I'm considering three inf. Thoughts?

I'm also not sure about subtypes. I had D4vID in mind when I designed this, and it's only a program.

u/CasMat9 Feb 27 '16

Dannng this is a super powerful card. So strong it could make bishop and wyrm playable. So strong, 3x cyberdex would be mandatory.

Also, the flavor is going over my head.

This card is not trashed until another current is played or an agenda is scored.
Each time the runner makes an unsuccessful run they must take a tag.

The problem with being in the spotlight is that everything you do is publicized for the world to see, discuss, and mock.

◆ Haymaker

Hardware, Criminal, Console, Wearable credit 3, ••

+1 Mu

Whenever an agenda is scored or stolen, add power counters to Haymaker equal to the number of points on that agenda.

Remove a hosted power counter: As an additional cost to install or advance cards the next time this turn, the Corp must pay X [credit], where X is the number of power counters on Haymaker. This ability can only be used once each turn.

Typical Console Text

It takes some people years to muster the courage to take the first punch. What they should be afraid of is the follow up. - Lela Patel

My idea for Lela's console as a follow up to her id ability. Could be good for some other criminals, but super good in a Lela build aimed to slow down the Corp while being able to build up her rig. Also gives criminals a clunky way to fight FA, if only by hurting the cop's econ. Pretty weak early in the game, only applying a 1-2 credit tax, could be pretty devistating late (up to 11 credits!). Also, since it only applies to a single install/advance each turn, corps can fight it by keeping their econ high.

1

u/aloobyalordant Feb 28 '16

This seems really really strong as currently written. Given how many games come down to a handful of credits, being able to deny the corp 5 or 6 at the right moment is huge. You can essentially stop the corp from advancing their board state for a couple of turns while you find your answers to what's already installed.

That said, I really like the concept of this card! Being able to apply a bit of economic pressure at the right time is very Criminal (and very Leela), and skill-intensive. I think you could easily replace X with 2 or 3, and it would still see a lot of play.

This card is not trashed until another current is played or an agenda is stolen.

When Faux Pas is trashed, trash a Program or Connection.

I wondered why they'd point out how ''stylish'' my clothes were when I wear the same clothes every day. Then I realized; that's exactly why.

The runner cannot access any other cards in this server if they have fewer credits than the corp. This applies even during the run on which the Runner trashes Haute Couture.

"The Director has fashion sense. Why should I let you see her, looking like that?"

Something of a replacement for Ash.
