Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Progenitor, a card on which the community's evaluation recently went from "meh" to "OP, best deck in the game."

  • Changes: of hosted programs cannot exceed 1. @zailey made a broken deck with this for Trojan Stable spam.

  • Pros: Free to install, good MU solution for everything except Trojan Stable and Hivemind. Also saves a virus counter on purges, which is very nice for lots of different viruses.

  • Cons: Not a virus, has to be drawn before whatever you want to put on it. Small nonbo with Scheherazade. Weak to Marcus Batty, though rigshooter is weak these days. Power Shutdown is a good card.

6/10 Underplayed card.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Keegan Lane, who just got nerfed today!

  • Changes: Limit 1 per deck.

  • Pros: Absolutely ruin Crims that aren't on Clone Chip, Femme Fatale or duplicate breakers. Data Raven is really good with this guy, and Bandwidth is playable now.

  • Cons: Limit 1 per deck, single-use only, and requires a tag during a run on his server. Femme Fatale ruins the Data Raven combo.

6/10 Program trashing fun.

Flavour text uses the Baudot code. One developed for the use in telegraphs. It appears on several Apex: Invasive Predator cards, Apocalypse, and Harbinger. Although the text doesn't seem to appear on the reboot project.

Repurpose reads: "YOUR TIME WAS BADLY SPENT".

This card is bad. Here's why:

Let's say I secretly bid 2. The corp has an equal chance of guessing right or wrong.

If they guess right, your gain is -2.

If they guess wrong, your net gain is 2.

If we average that we will make an average of 0. This isn't worth the risk.

This card is fun. Here's why:

On the 50% of the time you get this to not take your money (I have yet to get this to happen of the three times I've used this card), You get a lot of money, assuming you spent a large portion. What makes this fun is that you don't know if this is going to happen.

So, how do you make this card even more fun?

1: Deboot it! (Play cost set back to 2. Additional text: "Gain 2." (triggers before bid). Now you get some extra bucks to play you Psi game.

2: Play it when your broke anyway: Dio's secret sauce.

My rating: 2/10 fun bad card.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Egret, which shows an egret perching on an octopus?

  • Changes: Install cost 2>1.

  • Pros: Cheap to install, allows you to get a Tinkering forever on a piece of ice. This allows you to get through sentries multiple times in a Trailblazer deck easier. Making Architect Yoggable is hilarious.

  • Cons: Takes up a MU, so bad out of MOpus Kit. Paintbrush is better unless you are only interested in specific ice, and for a long time.

6/10 Not sure what niche this fills besides Trailblazer support.

EDIT: Turns out this is super OP out of Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman with Keyhole, and will disappear into the warp with Shipment from Tennin soon.
