Engagement Metrics

Engagement Metrics

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Engagement Metrics, the only card in Equity & Eternity (besides the collaboration agendas.)

  • Changes: Trash cost 2<3.

  • Pros: It's a slower Launch Campaign that gives a tag and has 3 trash cost! SYNC and Spark rejoice! SYNC has wanted remote bait for a long time.

  • Cons: Spark tag decks are very unexplored. Slower than Launch Campaign, don't play this in a deck without tag punishment. The tag takes forever and is very telegraphed. NBN has trouble defending assets.

7/10 Put this in your SYNC today!

<p>Also I really love the design of merging a drip (econ) effect with a countdown (non-econ) effect. The "Red/Green Engagement Metrics" could end in a point (or two) of net/meat damage; like an <strong>Urban Renewal</strong> crossed with <strong>Nico Campaign</strong>.</p> —
<p>The best deck I have this in right now actually has no tag punishment at all (but has breaker bay grid). The tag is just value, since it’s a glacier deck against which most runners wont float the tag (they need their econ resources and stuff like ice carver)</p> —
Nootropics Campaign

Nootropics Campaign

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Nootropics Campaign, an HB card that is bad out of Haas-Bioroid: Engineering the Future without being junk!

7/10 Excellent piece of design.

Progenitor

Progenitor

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Progenitor, a card on which the community's evaluation recently went from "meh" to "OP, best deck in the game."

  • Changes: of hosted programs cannot exceed 1. @zailey made a broken deck with this for Trojan Stable spam.

  • Pros: Free to install, good MU solution for everything except Trojan Stable and Hivemind. Also saves a virus counter on purges, which is very nice for lots of different viruses.

  • Cons: Not a virus, has to be drawn before whatever you want to put on it. Small nonbo with Scheherazade. Weak to Marcus Batty, though rigshooter is weak these days. Power Shutdown is a good card.

6/10 Underplayed card.

Keegan Lane

Keegan Lane

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Keegan Lane, who just got nerfed today!

  • Changes: Limit 1 per deck.

  • Pros: Absolutely ruin Crims that aren't on Clone Chip, Femme Fatale or duplicate breakers. Data Raven is really good with this guy, and Bandwidth is playable now.

  • Cons: Limit 1 per deck, single-use only, and requires a tag during a run on his server. Femme Fatale ruins the Data Raven combo.

6/10 Program trashing fun.

Fuzzing

Fuzzing

This used to be Egret, but now it's Fuzzing. The old review is archived here for posterity and because you can't delete reviews.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Egret, which shows an egret perching on an octopus?

  • Changes: Install cost 2>1.

  • Pros: Cheap to install, allows you to get a Tinkering forever on a piece of ice. This allows you to get through sentries multiple times in a Trailblazer deck easier. Making Architect Yoggable is hilarious.

  • Cons: Takes up a MU, so bad out of MOpus Kit. Paintbrush is better unless you are only interested in specific ice, and for a long time.

6/10 Not sure what niche this fills besides Trailblazer support.

EDIT: Turns out this is super OP out of Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman with Keyhole, and will disappear into the warp with Shipment from Tennin soon.
