Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Downsizing, the only Mako Shuusei current.

  • Changes: Additional cost of 1 to advance or purge > The Corp loses 1 if they advance or purge. There was a horrible alt win condition where the Runner could use Lamprey to put the Corp at 0 permanently unless they ran Cyberdex Trial or Mise en Place.

  • Pros: Can go on Mako's ID. Costs the Corp at least 2, probably more, unless they are New Angeles Sol: Your News, in which case you shouldn't play this except to get a respite from Predictive Algorithm to steal something or Targeted Marketing to play the named card.

  • Cons: Costs 1, some Corps do not care about this at all.

7/10 Better than every Criminal current.

Still bad, still too niche. If this is a reboot, make more effort to make every card at least somewhat viable. What about this: Instal cost 2 (instead of 1) 1 credit (instead of 3): Break ice subroutine on a piece of ice with 0 or less strength ?

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Guinea Pig, Successful Demonstration for Runner.

  • Changes: This gave 11 for a bit.

  • Pros: 6! Prepaid VoicePAD friendly.

  • Cons: Not I've Had Worse friendly, not that combo-tastic with Respirocytes (If Guinea Pig is the only card in your hand and you play it, Respy will hand you 2 cards which Guinea Pig will immediately trash.) Requires you to be able to dump your hand. Also requires that you have 4, so you can't bounce back from broke very easy.

7/10 Worth it.
