Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Patent Acquisition, Archer, but you can hit undo and it's just super Eli 1.0.
Changes: Injunction strength 4<5.
Pros: Super good ice. Injunction is good against every fracter. (Even D4v1d.)
Cons: Knifed and Parasite will undo all your work. 3/1 problems.
6/10 Best Weyland 3/1.
Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Dark Pool, the best code gate after Wormhole Weyland is allowed to have.
Changes: Credits to end the run 25>20.
Pros: Get money for free!* If you're super rich Yog.0 needs sucker tokens. Very good against aggro runners who don't have the setup time to install a decoder against Weyland.
Cons: Low strength. Competes with Datapike, Enigma, and Quandary. 2nd sub doesn't fire.**
6/10 Better than you think.
*You have to pay to rez this, so the first trigger of this will just trash a Hedge Fund from R&D to do nothing.
** If you're Blue Sun you might.
Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Chronicle, Sonia Nahar's console.
Changes: Install cost 1>0. This was having trouble competing with 4 Ubax and lately Astrolabe.
Pros: Costs nothing and saves quite a bit of money out of Sonia Nahar: Steadfast Salvager and Exile: Streethawk. Also combos with Same Old Thing, which Exile really likes. Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar likes 0 things a bit.
Cons: Astrolabe exists. Ubax exists. Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker has a tiny nonbo.
6/10 Free .
Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Trojan Stable, at one point the centerpiece of the most broken Noise deck in Reboot before the Progenitor nerf.
Install cost 5<6.
Pros: By itself, this is 6 to gain 9, with a mill if you're Noise. Aesop's Pawnshop or Grimoire allow you to profit 6, and with both you'll make 9. If you're Exile: Streethawk with Grimiore, you can cycle this to make 6 and 2 cards over and over again. The Corp will often want to purge this, but 6 to make the Corp lose their turn is pretty good and eating Cyberdex Virus Suite on your terms is super important to a virus deck.
Cons: Huge initial investment for Noise, who is famously broke. 2 is a lot. Mise En Place makes you very sad. Also takes a long time to pay out.
6/10 Orange Cache.
Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Human Rights Riot: Humanity's Hammer.
Changes: Install cost 1<2. This is absurdly good out of any Anarch that trashes things.
Pros: It's almost literally Maw. Gives you 1 which is nice. Combos with Glee and For the Laughs.
Cons: Trashing things can be hard. Anarchs don't have slots.
7/10 Every Kim and Whizzard deck should be on this.
