If News Team is accessed from R&D, the Runner must reveal it.
When the runner accesses News Team, he or she must either take 2 tags or add News Team to his or her score area as an agenda worth -1 agenda points.

Sorry for missing yesterday, folks! Still getting into the swing of this.

Finally [[Data Dealer]] is good.
Between this and 15 minutes, I'm actually thinking of tech-ing it into a couple of decks this weekend, see how it goes.
EDIT: Forgot to tweak my decks, also didn't encounter any NBN (though there was one Spark at the local tourney).
Also [[Frame Job]]. Either of those with News Team, [[Shi.Kyu]], or [[Fan Site]] make some janky tricks. Also, if you steal a [[15 Minutes]] you can sell it or give bad pub before the corp can take it back.

I couldn't find Shi.Kyu
Fan Site - NetrunnerDB, ANCUR
15 Minutes - NetrunnerDB, ANCUR
As a counter to ambushes, I feel like Data Dealer is much better, because it stands alone. Also, if you already have ways to take advantage of bad pub, you are probably Val anyway.
It's my secret anti-Harpsichord tech.
Not Film Critic?
Film Critic is almost definitely better but achieves a different job. Data Dealer is my cheeky 15 Minutes/News Team tech.
How about [[Employee Strike]]? It's a nice surprise against Haarp, mid/late game play this, run Archives, you will probably win.

I really like this card. It has replaced Snare! in most of my Scorched Earth decks. Even though the tags are optional (so they rarely take them) and it doesn't do damage, it fires from archives and it doesn't cost me 4 credits to fire.
Even in a deck that isn't planning on killing the runner, this is a good card. It effectively reads "lose 2 clicks and 4 credits or take -1 point or lose a bunch of resources."
Not to mention that if they take it as -1 point, it effectively extends the game, giving more opportunities for murder.
It's a free [[Shi.Kyu]] that fires from R&D and costs less influence. It's a stupid good card that makes me salty about the design balance on these yellow cards.
Comparing Order and Chaos to Data and Destiny just makes me sad. NBN gets good in-faction program removal (Archangel, Keegan), a couple solid agendas, good ambushes (Archangel, News Team), strong setup for kill decks (24/7).
And then almost half of Weyland's cards are advanceable ice or cards trying to support it. Heck, Traffic Accident is basically printed for NBN. Compare Space Camp to News Team.
Sorry for missing yesterday, folks! Still getting into the swing of this.
I thought this was the flavor text for a second, and had to pull it up to check.
This card is the reason I'm gonna slot in [[Archives Interface]] when D&D comes out in my country. Too much nasty shit firing from archives these days.
On the other hand, I'm gonna love playing this card on corp side. Holy shit it's good.
Perfect. Draw and dump, draw and dump.
This card does so much work in the Haarpsichord Butchershop I've been playing around with for the last few days. Keep them in hand, triple install along with two agendas, dump them in archives--it always does work, costs you nothing, and is a pain in the ass for the runner no matter what. NBN continues to get some of the nastiest cards in the game.
Phenomenal. If I had to point to one card that is going to make serious waves out of Data & Destiny, a cool kill combo not withstanding, News Team does. So. Much. Work. For FREE.
I feel like you honestly are going to need to tech something for it in the coming weeks/months. Maybe that's just better tag clear/prevention, or an extra plascrete so you can run tag-me more effectively, and archive interface is already looking a bit better since CVS tends to live in archives for long stretches of time, too. Archives Interface can help keep you from hitting Quantum Predictive Model or other prickly cards too.
I'm not sure if I would start running frame job or data dealer JUST for news team yet, but its definitely a consideration if you have a bad match-up. That being Said, Frame Job would help you combat All Seeing I, and fan sites are just 1 influence, so maybe some DLR abuse deck finds room for those cards in it?
Favorite card right now. Always fun watching the runner squirm
I feel like it should either have cost a couple of credits to trigger, or only given one tag, as this thing is seriously powerful!
