Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Election Day, which would be stupidly good out of any game but Netrunner.
Changes: Cards drawn 5<6.
Pros: Draw 6 cards! Free to play (or wait no it's not.) Only 2 influence. You can dump your Punitive Counterstrike-free hand to try and draw more Punitive.
Cons: Lose your hand, and worse, draw 6 cards.
5/10 Industrial Genomics: Growing Solutions can load up Archives.
Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Psychokinesis, Precognition but better.
Changes: Play cost 1>0.
Pros: Draw and install the best non-ice in the top 5 cards of your deck. You don't have to reveal the card you chose. You don't have to shuffle R&D. Synergises very well with Uncanny Compulsion, The Sisters, and decently with Mise en Place and Precognition. Also nice out of Gandiva Therapeutics: Tailored Security.
Cons: You don't get to rearrange the top, unlike Precognition. Terminal. 2 influence isn't really worth it outside Jinteki.
7/10 Should see a decent amount of play.
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 .
