This helps revitalize Weyland's Shaper matchup, being the best Atman tech ever. Also really good against Criminals with Femme Fatale and Inside Job. You will never think: "Why did I slot this?"

If there is no breaker, you will always bounce the Runner.

If there is a fracter, this is only 1 to rez, a huge bargain. The Runner could play around this by only SMCing a fracter after you rez, but Bouncer makes that stupid.

Immune to Knight unless the Runner uses Ice Carver, Net-Ready Eyes or Datasucker.

8/10 Top 3 Weyland barrier.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: NEXT Level Clearance. But Fluffy, you say, this isn't an FFG card. Yes, but it's seen plenty of changes, and you might be wondering if the proxy you printed a while back has been changed since the deck just keeps winning.

  • Changes: Cost 1<3. Cost 3<4. Cost 4>3. Max 4>3 ice.

  • Pros: Dump your board to win! You can score a 3/2 or a 4/2 out of hand for less than Biotic Labor would cost you! Can be tutored with Due Diligence if you're an idiot or a janklord.

  • Cons: Only usable on the last agenda, as only an idiot or a janklord throws away their NEXT suite while the Runner is active.

8/10 Switch those bioroids into NEXT ice and slot this.

This is the first non-Weyland advanceable ice in Reboot. The first token is the only one that does anything, never put extra tokens on it.

The first thing that comes to mind is Tennin Institute: The Secrets Within, allowing you to grind the Runner's hand down and force them to spend s drawing instead of running.

4 strength is nice against Mimic, though not so much against Atman.

Really, though, this is best out of Jinteki: Personal Evolution, as it allows you as many Neural EMPs as you want on a server.

This is only 1 influence, so you could easily put it somewhere else like Weyland Consortium: Because We Built It, but only Jinteki wants the net damage.

7/10 Really good against Andy.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Political Dealings, which was moved from Mind & Mayhem before M&M released to Reflections as an emergency replacement for Shipment from Tennin. SfT now does not exist. If you see an older deck on here with Political Dealings which doesn't seem to fit, it used to have SfT instead.

6/10 Looking for a home, but once someone finds it, this will be happy.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Ubax, which should replace the Astrolabe in your Kit and Kate decks today!

  • Changes: This was at 4, but the latest patch removed the buff.

  • Pros: Get a card every turn. Lots of Shapers are clicking for cards every turn anyway, as Symmetrical Visage shows, and this allows them to take 4 a turn like other Runners! Personal Workshop decks are the main target for this, unless they are on Professional Contacts. Can be tutored with Reverse Engineering in faction.

  • Cons: Bad out of ProCo decks. Expensive.

7/10 Cut that Astrolabe unless you don't want card draw.
