I spectated a couple of games of KtS and MTD, uhm, quick things we ran into, and things I remember from my own newbie days/seeing other newbies play. Or stuff that's just not intuitive.
Inside Job bypasses the first encountered ice. Unrezzed ice does not get encountered. So to block an inside job, you have to have two ice rezzed, it won't do to just rez the second one.
On the topic of bypassing encountered ice, like with inside job or Femme Fatale, with abilities that trigger at the same time, the player who's turn it is goes first. So if you have femme targetting a tollbooth both abilities trigger at the same time, the runners goes first, the ice gets bypassed for 1 cred, and you don't have to pay the 3 for tollbooths on encounter ability. This is great!
Accelerated Beta Test, when triggered, creates a temporary window in the top left of the screen. Target the ice to get them, then drag what's left to archives.
"Hosting" a program can only be done as you play the program, unless a card says differently. So you have to have a Djinn in play so you can add Medium on it, you can't play medium first, then djinn, and host it.
You can act after a runner turn ends, but before yours begins. So you can rez PAD campaign right before your turn starts.
Wyrm is an icebreaker. For icebreakers to be allowed to interact with ICE, you need to have it at least the same strength. So you can only lower the ice's strength as soon as wyrm is as strong as the ice.
You are allowed to trash your own ice,
your deckbuilder maybe, and jinteki.net certainly, does not like it if you put 3 Astroscript Pilot Programs in your deck. It'll say that it's invalid, but I think it lets you play with it. This is fair game for our format. If you are worried your deck is indeed invalid despite that, I'll be happy to check.
You can rez cards in your server, like Ash after the runner has passed all ice, but before he accesses the cards in the server.
Using datasucker requires you to have encountered the ice, you use it in the same timing window as an icebreaker. This means that if Parasite is hosted on a data raven and you want to reduce it's strength to 0 with datasucker to trash it, you still get the tag... but you don't have to break the trace!

You are allowed to trash your own ice,
if
you were placing another ice in that server. The stacking cost is reduced. You are allowed to trash your own cards in a remote for free, if
you were placing another card in there. You are allowed to trash your own programs, if
you were playing another program. You don't have to be full memory. To trash anything else or without playing a new card, you need a card that allows you to do so, like Aesop's Pawnshop.your deckbuilder maybe, and jinteki.net certainly, does not like it if you put 3 Astroscript Pilot Programs in your deck.
