Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, a unfortunately named series of reviews of cards that have changed in Reboot Project from their original version! Our first review is Accelerated Beta Test, a 3/2 agenda for Haas-Bioroid in the Core Set.
First off, Changes.
- It now looks at 3 cards instead of 2.
Well, that's not much. According to the Master Spreadsheet, this is a nerf. I would agree, though sometimes this can be very helpful. Jackson Howard is really good at mitigating this, and now he can shuffle other stuff in while cleaning up after incompetent beta testers. The card's ability is excellent. Getting down even Eli 1.0 for free is good, and you might even get to rez Archer for nothing! Being able to build board state after burning credits on a score is quite helpful, especially in NEXT Design: Guarding the Net, who have tons of ice in their deck and want to go really fast. Of course as a 3/2, it's good in almost any purple deck, and is easy to fast-advance with cards like Biotic Labor, SanSan City Grid, Director Haas, Mandatory Upgrades, or the Efficiency Committee-Shipment from SanSan combo. 10/10 still good!
