Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards.

  • Changes: Install cost 1>0.

  • Pros: Very nice out of Noise, as it allows him to get rid of ice with ETR's he doesn't have Parasucker for at the moment, and can be sold to Aesop. Blocks a potentially disgusting facecheck.

  • Cons: Noise doesn't like brain damage, Parasite and Forked, Knifed and Spooned already exist. Ends the run. Non-optional. You randomly get owned by that one dude who decided to put Akitaro Watanabe behind Architect.

6/10 Very Anarch.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Caterpillar/Monarch.

  • Changes: Caterpillar strength: 1<2. Parasite no longer jumps on this instantly.

  • Pros: Cheap ice that after 3 turns becomes very worth it, costing 3 for Walrus to break, 4 for Eli 1.0 to break, and Cerberus "Lady" H1 has to give up 2 power counters. Has a nice bite for a barrier.

  • Cons: Dies to Parasite, takes a while to be good, the net damage isn't a face check because the Runner just pays 1 for the first 3 turns.

7/10 Nice on RP's Archives.

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.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Kaede Ueno, the second ever card to have the Unorthodox trait.

  • Changes: Trash cost 1<3. You are no longer annoyed to see her get found when not rich.

  • Pros: Click for a credit that the Runner can cancel by busting into your server and paying a net damage and 3. Also makes R&D a little spikier, something that I appreciate given how much my opponent plays Medium decks (all the time). Chronos Protocol: Selective Mind-mapping likes this, Chronos loves any reliable 1 net, especially on the Runner's turn. Gandiva Therapeutics: Tailored Security is obviously the slot for this though, since you just keep putting junk in your scoring server.

  • Cons: You don't like this sitting in HQ, as you don't get any juicy net.

7/10 PE should play this.
