Rulings

  • A card with two faces always enters play as the front face. Whenever it is not in play, it is considered to be the front face. When a game effect instructs you to flip it, it is transformed into the card on its other face, and loses all abilities and attributes on its other face.

  • For paper play, flip cards can be handled by using opaque sleeves, and when flipping them, removing them from their sleeve, turning them over and reinserting them. (Alternatively, substitute cards can be used.) If a player ever finds a flipped card in their hand, deck or discard pile (indicated by a black title box), they know that a mistake has taken place, and can correct it by flipping the card over.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Hype/Hope, a flip card that provides econ and multi-access to Sonia.

  • Changes: Hype grants 4<5 when you steal an agenda. Hope used to access an additional card from the bottom of R&D, but Reteki had a bug that became the current version.

  • Pros: If you can steal an agenda before you need the MU for something else, you get 3 cards and a overall profit of 3. Acts as a Nyashia-at-home for Sonia Nahar: Steadfast Salvager. You won't need the MU for anything else if you use Subsidized Processor.

  • Cons: You can't really abuse Hype for lots of cards and money. R&D Interface is better out of most decks (unless you want to run both.)

7/10 Key piece of the Sonia engine.
