This is my new favorite Criminal ID, being what I wanted Nasir Meidan: Cyber Explorer to be, a deck that makes high value runs to steal agendas and uses as little econ as possible because you will lose it all.

You cannot use Security Testing, Armitage Codebusting, or any connections, so you have to run your economy off of Stolen Contacts, Exclusive Party, Elysium, ZDNet Access, or Zona Sul Shipping. You can use Daily Casts if you want but I would advise against it.

Use Gemon, Lamis, and Maron to make cheap runs and hopefully steal an agenda, which relieves you of having to pay the 2 fee for a successful run. Ash 2X3ZB9CY is annoying.

You have to run 2 copies of Plascrete Carapace, and against full-on kill decks you might even use both.

Multithreader is great for you, since it's the best source of for the Runner.

7/10 Great against popular, boring Corps like ETF, RP, and even GRNDL.

Echo Memvaults: Reality Reimagined is the 2nd best ID in the game after Engineering the Future, followed by Cerebral Imaging: Infinite Frontiers and NEXT Design: Guarding the Net. The reason is that it has 15 influence unlike ETF, and does not require you to build an otherwise bad deck to utilize the ID ability.

2 brain damage near the beginning of the game is great, the negative tempo of losing cards makes the Runner sad, and they will have to spend their first turn installing their 2 best cards so as not to lose them. Then the tiny handsize for the rest of the game will really annoy them, unless they are on Public Sympathy.

You are very good against brain-me decks, not that anyone ever cares about that.

Adam: Compulsive Hacker with Neutralize All Threats is funny, but he can be very annoying with Always Be Running cracking your non-bioroids and using Synaptic Remodulator on the bioroids to not lose tempo. Also, FA decks hate getting multi-accessed.

You kinda have to be a FA deck because your ability is of very little use in a Glacier deck, as the Runner can recover from getting hit with your ID.

Microtransactions and Nootropics Campaign help with not being ETF, Vulcan 1.0 is a good 1x ice.

8/10 Very good ID.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Public Support, secretly the only way to play Punitive Counterstrike.

  • Changes: Rez cost 2>1. This card is not PAD Campaign value.

  • Pros: Make the Runner pay 5 in Gagarin Deep Space: Expanding the Horizon! Get your 7th point in a 5/3 deck, meaning that Gagarin is the only Weyland home for Punitive now.

  • Cons: Runner will just trash this if you don't ice it, so either defend it or want them to trash it. Anti-synergy with Helium-3 Deposit, FFG should've made it add power counters until you got 3 for the point.

6/10 Pretty solid Weyland asset.

This is essentially an Always Be Running buff. You now can click for a twice to break a sub. Eli 1.0 farming is also good.

Just 1 meat damage to install, more reasons to play I've Had Worse in Adam.

GyroDrive Soles competes for almost the same slot.

6/10 Kinda hard to slot, this just barely makes it into Adam decks for me.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Smashing Spree, Stolen Contacts for Demolition Run.

  • Changes: Play cost 1<2.

  • Pros: Go read the Demolition Run review. You can tell how much Demo Run is than Easy Mark, since this costs 1 more and 2 more influence. You should never play Demo Run out of faction anymore, since this will save you influence, unless you only want 1 Demo Run. This is good out of Ken "Express" Tenma: Disappeared Clone and Dionysus Bagbiter: Luxe Larcenist.

  • Cons: Adds net 2 cards to your hand that aren't super easy to play. Demo Run really wants you to have additional accesses.

6/10 Fun Dio toy.
