6/10 Goes in every non-kill NBN tag deck.
After the Notoriety nerf to 4, Silhouette was very sad (normally she was just very sad without italics.) Emergency Shutdown is a great card, but sometimes you need more than just 1 derez, and don't have slots for Crescentus or the MU.
When I first saw this card in the list of Red Sands cards, I thought it was super OP for some reason, but Apocalypse is honestly worse than this by miles. Of course if a Crimpocalypse archetype emerged, Comet with this would allow you to kill Architect.
This is not good out of Andromeda since Emergency Shutdown is all you need and this would be too hard to trigger. Gabriel Santiago: Consummate Professional likes this much better since he has so much HQ pressure that R&D is easier to get into, and Sneakdoor Beta allows you to just run Archives 2 times and R&D once if you need to. This could be neat in Leela Patel: Trained Pragmatist especially when the Corp smugly rezzes every card on the board and blanks your ID.
This probably won't get imported into Shaper, though Eater Anarchs like Siphon MaxX would love this as part of their Keyhole spam.
6/10 Situational but worth triggering.
This is one of the few cards from the Flashpoint cycle to return to Reboot. Fairchild 1.0 is weak, Fairchild 3.0 is one of the most OP ice ever, and Fairchild (unique) is ridiculously nasty if you can rez it.
This is best out of Haas-Bioroid: Stronger Together, forcing Yog.0 to spend a Datasucker token or use Net-Ready Eyes.
This is also impossible to fully click through without e3 Feedback Implants or extra clicks. usually the Runner will probably click the last 2 subs and pay 2 or trash something useless.
This is better than Viktor 1.0 against non-Yog.0 Runners, but costs a fair bit. You will have to have some reason to slot this over Turing or be on a lot of code gates.
7/10 Viktor 1.5 but it doesn't end the run.
This is my new favorite Criminal ID, being what I wanted Nasir Meidan: Cyber Explorer to be, a deck that makes high value runs to steal agendas and uses as little econ as possible because you will lose it all.
You cannot use Security Testing, Armitage Codebusting, or any connections, so you have to run your economy off of Stolen Contacts, Exclusive Party, Elysium, ZDNet Access, or Zona Sul Shipping. You can use Daily Casts if you want but I would advise against it.
Use Gemon, Lamis, and Maron to make cheap runs and hopefully steal an agenda, which relieves you of having to pay the 2 fee for a successful run. Ash 2X3ZB9CY is annoying.
You have to run 2 copies of Plascrete Carapace, and against full-on kill decks you might even use both.
Multithreader is great for you, since it's the best source of for the Runner.
7/10 Great against popular, boring Corps like ETF, RP, and even GRNDL.
