Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews of cards that the Reboot Project has changed. Today's review: Battering Ram, the core set Shaper fracter.

*Changes: It's install cost has been reduced from 5 to 3

*Pros: Keeps it's strength boost over the run, like Gordian Blade, and Pipeline. High base strength and cheap install cost. 2 influence means you could import this into Criminal if you wanted: Anarch has Corroder, but Corroder is just better.

*Cons: Break cost isn't great, and like I said about Aurora, Corroder exists, so don't splash this

7/10 OK fracter in Shaper.

Edit: I thought this sucked because no one uses it around here.

If you have the MU, I think ram is better than Corroder for shaper. It’s only really worse than corroder against the absolute most binary stuff.

@TheBigBoy I have edited my review after realizing that Battering Ram has higher base strength than Corroder. My opponent @KV-Boom, religiously slots Corroder in every deck he builds. He didn't touch the Ram, so I thought it wasn't good.
