Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews on cards that Reboot Project has changed from the original game. Today we look at Account Siphon the Criminal event.
*Changes: It now costs 2 credits to play, meaning you can no longer use it with no other loss than the click and the card if you fail to get in.
*Pros: Top Ten most fun effects in the game (for the Runner), huge econ boost, can cripple the Corp, especially with multiples and recursion to keep the Corp from affording ice on HQ.
*Cons: Top Ten most rage-quit effects in the game (for the Corp), 2 tags mean you have to forego resources and install Plascrete Carapace ASAP, or spend 2 and 4 to remove them. Data Leak Reversal decks may welcome this, and synergises nicely to create a deck MaxX: Maximum Punk Rock herself would smile at and momentarily pause cursing. Maybe.
10/10 Game-defining card, I wish my opponents would play more of this, Scorched Earth is waiting....
