When your turn begins, you may choose a server.
During the first encounter each turn with a piece of ice protecting the chosen server, whenever the Corp would resolve a subroutine, instead they resolve "subroutine Do 1 net damage.".

Does Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga work only for the first ice, or all the ice protecting the chosen server?
Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga’s ability only applies to the first encounter of the first run against the chosen server that turn.
If the Runner plays Inside Job to bypass the first ice protecting a server, does Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga’s ability apply to the next ice encountered?
No. The encounter with the ice bypassed using Inside Job still counts as the first encounter.
Is the net damage from Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga’s replacement subroutine caused by the encountered ice, or Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga? If the runner has Persephone or First Responders installed, can they use those abilities?
The encountered ice is the source of the “{sub} Do 1 net damage.” subroutine, meaning the runner can use First Responders and Persephone.
How long does the choice of server chosen by Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga last?
The choice of server is maintained until the end of the turn.
Does Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga work on a subroutine resolved with ZATO City Grid?
No. The encounter ends when the ice is trashed, so Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga’s ability is no longer applicable by the time the subroutine resolves.
If the Runner encounters Konjin as the first ice on the chosen server, does Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga’s ability apply during the forced encounter?
Yes. The encounter with Konjin is still active while resolving the forced encounter.
How does Klevetnik interact with Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga?
If the Corp uses Klevetnik to remove abilities from Tsakhia “Bankhar” Gantulga, it will not be able to replace any subroutines with “ Do 1 net damage.” that turn.
Situationally very limited. Keep in mind, corp recursion isn't very good currently, so if this allows you to land a Chastushka and/or a chance at a Time Bomb early, that's respectable value for the tempo loss to net damage. I would suggest taking more meaning from life than your virtual bird, though.
Fun card! For the low price of 1, you can pass any ice in a pinch, in exchange for what you have in hand. Early game, it let you contest any ice for some damage. Even better if that damage trigger Steelskin Scarring. In late game, if you are low on credit, you can still pass that ultimate ice and get to the winning agenda.
Combined with Raindrops Cut Stone, you get credit and replace any damage done by Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga.
This could combo will with Nathaniel "Gnat" Hall: One-of-a-Kind, who need ways to deplete cards in hand. It would combo also very well with Heartbeat, especially with Apex: Invasive Predator.
While it could be used with Caldera, avoiding the resolution for 3 seems expensive.
If depleting your cards seems a issue with this, Buffer Drive would help toward this. Also, this could be used with Harmony AR Therapy, which would bring back 5 cards, but that is very much click intensive.
The art is friendly, which pairs well with the quote. It makes quite the combination with the effect of the card. I'm not sure if we are seeing Esâ Afontov: Eco-Insurrectionist on the card or Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga? A fun and easy to use ressource, well balanced.
Ok, this is a review after tlaking with Diogene, about a few deck. This card simply helps to get away with lockdown, like after a purge on viruses deck, but also it could help contest remotes providing you got enough hand do deal with the net damages.I would would consider it as a tech card rather than an early aggression one.Good review. Could be a lot more than i can imagine too.

The card is a connection, and usually, if the card title is a person's name, the person in the artwork depicts that person.
