Reviews

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Cortez Chip, funny blue card. Unlike most funny blue card, it bad.

  • Changes: Increases rez cost by 2<3, this makes it better, but still bad, as I'll explain in a minute.

  • Pros: Free to install, gives Armand "Geist" Walker: Tech Lord a card when used. Sometimes works as poor man's old Blackmail or Inside Job.

  • Cons: You have to know what the ice is for it to really be good, they might not want to rez it anyway. This would require expose effects or derezzing it. You would probably rather hit it with a derez after breaking unless the ice is really cheap.

4/10 Niche, but usable.
