You know what's really scary? Facechecking a Komainu without a sentry breaker. Or an Archer. Or an Architect. Or an Ichi 1.0. Or, god forbid, a Janus 1.0.

Point is, sentries kill people (or, at the very least, severely maim them). Being able to facecheck early with relative impunity is incredible for an aggressive runner, and Nero Severn: Information Broker lets you do just that.

... Just watch out for those Merlins.

Pros:

• +1 link
• IDs that like to explore are good for learning Netrunner
• That monocle
• Just about the only guy in Netrunner who still has both his hands

Cons:

• While his ability has helped him keep his hands, it doesn't create value in the way that a modern ID does. 419's ability drains a corp credit most turns. Zahya gets paid to explore. You're paying a LOT for that monocle.
