Man, true CS recursion on a card would hurt my brain  
  
Glad I found this podcast! I've been trying to find more time for Netrunner and this is helping me enjoy the game vicariously. 
  
Also, I've been doing a lot of teaching games, and I thought your idea for basic teaching decks made of extra cards with minimal complexity would be awesome. Off the top of my head, I made these two. Mostly basic set cards that I'll have extras of after I get my two extra sets. I couldn't make it ALL basic cards, unfortunately, and still avoid Traces or other 'fancy' stuff, but this way it's all Agendas and Ice for the corp, with some money-making Operations, and ice-breakers and basic Events for the runner. We'll see how it works... 
  
Anyone have ideas on how to cut down on the non-basic-set cards?
