*if you're special guest co-host and 2016 World Champion Chris Dyer.

Johno meets up with new world champion Chris Dyer (find him online as Nemamiah) for a chat about Intervention, some lengthy reminiscing about Worlds - in particular the decks that he piloted to success - and a game of Artist Colony.

Using only descriptions of the card art, Johno and Chris attempt to help each other guess random Netrunner cards.

"This is a picture of a boat..."
"In a weird cyber world, there's a small boy"
"There is a man [...] looking out the window with a panicked look on his face..."
"A silhouette of a man [...] standing on a weird pedestal..."
"There are some swirls of light [...] surrounding a shape..."
"A man crouches or sits behind a wall [...] and in front of him there's a drone..."
"A woman [...] in front of some displays. There are information feeds behind her..."
"Some kind of console [...] with bluish screens [...]. It's a computer."
"There are two people in a club..."
"There's a man looking at a PAD [...]. Behind him there are several people at workstations..."
"This is an object. It's long and slender..."
"Our scene: exterior. A hopper floats in the air [...] alongside a building. A SMASH..."
"Two people are at work, they look like engineers."
"A tall building and it's very murky [...] It's quite a boring looking building..."
