Forged Activation Orders

Event: Sabotage • Cost: 0 • Influence: 2

Choose an unrezzed piece of ice. The Corp must either rez that ice or trash it.

As the hysteria in the room climbed higher up the corporate chain, an uneasy feeling of joblessness began to sink in on the lower rungs.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Forged Activation Orders, a Criminal derez event.

*Changes: Play cost 1>0. This makes it much better turn one, since free is infinitely cheaper than 1. [insert G.K. Chesterton "2 is not 2 times 1, 2 is 1000 times 1" paraphrasal]

*Pros: Costs nothing. Is better than exposing ice, since the Corp has to pay for it, or it goes away. Of course exposure wouldn't let the Corp rez, but you wouldn't run it if it was bad, and if it wasn't bad, the Corp would rez anyway. Corp cannot put down ice they cannot afford against Criminal. Puts economic pressure on the Corp. Blocks Zaibatsu Loyalty. ;)

Cons: You may want to be careful against Blue Sun: Powering the Future. May do nothing, *a la exposure effects.

8/10 Great follow-up to Emergency Shutdown. Who needs Parasite?
