Welcome to day 3 of netrunner spoilers! Today is WEYLAND day, so let's see what team strip mine the polar bears is up to! The cards were spoiled by the metropole grid, you can find the video and some great discussion here:
Beyond that tho, I'll post the first card and the rest will go beneath the readmore, along with my discussion of the cards!

Oh my god they reprinted Scorched Earth. "Tag you then scorched twice" was the ORIGINAL kill combo in netrunner, it was so powerful they printed Plascrete Carapace specifically as a tech card. Obviously you can't do that because of the "remove the tag", but still, this is fucking wild. We're gonna have scorched earth back in STARTUP.
Also like, I love the flavor of this card? Its so fucking cool, such an obvious trope for cyperpunk and so well done.

Well, it's good in ob!
Seriously I'm sorry but you aren't running a 4/2 that sets you back on tempo for a maybe benefit outside of startup unless you're ob lol, not when the new 3/2 exists

This is fucking WILD. like. every single ice becomes a border control??? Jesus fucking Christ. If you put 4 ice that have a "end the run" Subroutine on them on a server the runner cannot get into it In Any Way. And there are some WILD other subroutines out there, this can instantly kill a boat with any shitty "trash a hardware" subroutine; and in Ob the ice GETS YOU A NEW CARD. So far, this is genuinely the scariest card in the set for me. Gonna be running 3 pinhole threadings for a while lol

Oh my god they reprinted Hostile Infrastructure.
Not actually, this is unique; but it's still absolutely disgusting. This + bladderwort is some miserable, miserable old school netrunner times. Excited to see what awful bullshit I can pull with this, gonna slot it into NEH and surprise some runners in a real bad way. Worst case scenario it's 2 damage and the runner knows they have to trash it Immediately.
There was actually one other card spoiler today; but it was spoiled through the main netrunner discord bot and I'm supposedly not allowed to post it. But here's my review: lol the tradition of giving shaper bad cards that could be good in a jank context but are probably just bad continues! Perhaps I will be proven wrong... But probably not.
See you tomorrow!
