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

  • Changes: loss for using this on a successful run: 2<3. People won a tournament with this out of Leela Patel: Trained Pragmatist, and this is supposed to just be Dionysus Bagbiter: Luxe Larcenist support.

  • Pros: Very efficient decoder, that can break anything for a good price.

  • Cons: If you get in and still have , you get fined 2, which makes this rather subpar.

7/10 Nobody would disagree that this is in every Criminal deck, as long as you don't ask. (It's not.)

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Walrus, a.k.a. Blue Cerberus "Lady" H1.

  • Changes: Strength 4>3. People finally caught on and started putting this in all the decks where it fit, so breaking Eli 1.0 better than anything outside Gemon is hardly necessary.

  • Pros: We have Sharpshooter at home. Never get Archer blowouts. Breaks large barriers very well, and Eli 1.0 just as good as Corroder (unless you are on Datasucker, in which case Walrus is worse.)

  • Cons: 4 influence. 2 . Rather expensive.

8/10 Best Criminal breaker.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Downsizing, the only Mako Shuusei current.

  • Changes: Additional cost of 1 to advance or purge > The Corp loses 1 if they advance or purge. There was a horrible alt win condition where the Runner could use Lamprey to put the Corp at 0 permanently unless they ran Cyberdex Trial or Mise en Place.

  • Pros: Can go on Mako's ID. Costs the Corp at least 2, probably more, unless they are New Angeles Sol: Your News, in which case you shouldn't play this except to get a respite from Predictive Algorithm to steal something or Targeted Marketing to play the named card.

  • Cons: Costs 1, some Corps do not care about this at all.

7/10 Better than every Criminal current.
