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.

This used to be Egret, but now it's Fuzzing. The old review is archived here for posterity and because you can't delete reviews.

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.
