Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon: Identity Crisis! an unfortunately named spin-off to an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Akiko Nisei: Head Case, the worst Shaper ID.

  • Changes: Minimum decksize: 45>40.

  • Pros: R&D Interface/Lamprey on R&D! Small deck.

  • Cons: Corp gets to choose which of the above. Only 12 inf. Dionysus Bagbiter: Luxe Larcenist is better.

  • Playstyle: There are no legal decks on RetekiDB, maybe once the new pack comes out there will be a playable Akiko list. There are rumors of Security Nexus Akiko lists.

3/10 Play anything else and win more. Except Laramy Fisk: Savvy Investor.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Victoria Jenkins, the last review in the Data & Destiny pool.

  • Changes: Points to Runner 2>1.

  • Pros: The Runner only has 3 a turn!

  • Cons: If the Runner pays the 5, they get a point. 3 to rez is a lot. NBN doesn't want to make another server for this, and 5 inf is a lot. Iris can't use this.

3/10 Quite bad.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: TL;DR, which duplicates the subs on the next ice.

  • Changes: Strength 4<5.

  • Pros: Chunky code gate. Cheap to rez. What the subroutine does is this. Say you have an Archer. It will now look like this:

    • Gain 2.
    • Gain 2.
    • Trash 1 program.
    • Trash 1 program.
    • Trash 1 program.
    • Trash 1 program.
    • End the run.
    • End the run.
  • Cons: Positional. You will be cursing at this if you draw it in your opening hand. There aren't many ice with enough subroutines to make this worthwhile. Endless EULA isn't in Reboot.

4/10 NBN Archer/Enforcer 1.0/Kyuudoka when?

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: The All-Seeing I, the way to insta-beat Data Leak Reversal/Fall Guy rigs.

  • Changes: Play cost 1>0.

  • Pros: Blow up every single resource for 0 unless you have a bad pub, in which case your bad pub is gone.

  • Cons: Requires a tag, and cannot be tutored with Due Diligence, unlike Freelancer. The Runner usually won't have 5 or more resources anyway. Valencia Estevez: The Angel of Cayambe is rather immune to this.

6/10 Play Freelancer or Closed Accounts.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Special Offer, the only Trap ice that doesn't do anything to the Runner.

  • Changes: Rez cost 1>0.

  • Pros: This is an econ card that says: "Play only if there is no installed AI. Choose a server. When the Runner initiates a run on that server, if they aren't using Inside Job, gain 5." 3 strength is great for a Trap.

  • Cons: Single-use only. Does nothing to the Runner. You could be on Snickerdoodle. Sweeps Week exists.

5/10 Not really an ice.
