Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon: Identity Crisis! an unfortunately named spin-off to an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center, once the best ID in the game.

  • Changes: Influence limit 17>15. C.F. the AstroScript Pilot Program nerf.

  • Pros: The first time each turn you make a new server, you get a card. This allows you to spam even more PAD Campaigns than anyone else. This is also conducive to combo decks, as you are more likely to actually get the cards.

  • Cons: You don't have 17 influence for kill combos. The Scorched Earth nerf exacerbates this. Don't draw too many cards.

  • Playstyle: This is really funny. This is much better, though. Install all the things, if the Runner trashes everything and isn't Whizzard: Master Gamer, they will be broke. If they don't, you will be rich.

7/10 Best asset spam ID.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon: Identity Crisis! an unfortunately named spin-off to an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Nasir Meidan: Cyber Explorer, the craziest ID in the game. No, Dionysius Bagbiter: Luxe Larcenist, you are not as crazy.

  • Changes: Influence 15<20. Nasir benefits greatly in Reboot from Stim Graft as a replacement for Stimhack, he doesn't lose the money from it as it never enters his credit pool.

  • Pros: The Corp has to pay you the money to rez all their ice! Blue Sun: Powering the Future = . 20 influence allows you to import all kinds of toys. You can use Personal Workshop and Clone Chip to burn all your money before the ID eats it.

  • Cons: You have no permanent cash. You have to slot at least 2 Plascrete Carapace to avoid dying. All your toys take up a lot of space. Without Xanadu you have no way to get through a newly rezzed Pop-up Window.

  • Playstyle: Go read This. All of it. Just ignore the parts about PE and AstroBiotics. This is my latest version of the above deck in Reboot. This is Klerik's Heartbeat Nasir.

6/10 Rather weak but high on fun factor. This is run-based Shaper with a giant rig and lots of nonsense that is actually fun to use.

10/10 Would profit off of facechecking Tollbooth again.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Mutate, which looks super great but random, but is actually not that random and kinda lame.

  • Changes: Play cost 2>0.

  • Pros: If you get really lucky, you can turn a Quandary into a Tollbooth, a 7 swing! This will require Precognition most likely. You can also stick any agendas you don't want to draw on top with Precog and then have Mutate shuffle them back.

  • Cons: 3 influence, with Precognition also costing 3 influence, means you can't play this out of HB or Weyland, who have lots of great ice. You're stuck with Assassin, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and imported junk. You have to build your entire deck around this, and if you don't draw it, you are screwed. Without Precog, you are likely to just turn you Pup into a Quandary while Yog.0 is installed.

3/10 Go Shoot the Moon.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Midway Station Grid, the funniest way to beat Yog.0.

7/10 2nd best region.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Cyber Threat, a great tool for Reina Roja's econ denial toolbox.

  • Changes: Play cost 1>0.

  • Pros: Get the benefits of the Corp rezzing (outside of Nasir Meidan triggers) without the downside of hitting Archers unprepared. This can get fun when there are multiple servers and the Corp has limited cash. Say you pick the remote.

  • Cons: Priorities are more difficult to coordinate, if you draw this during the middle of your turn, you have to wait to play it. You can't stack the run with Account Siphon. Reina Roja: Freedom Fighter decks are usually super cramped and don't have room for jankier cards.

6/10 Underplayed.
