Reviews

As much a near-print as near-prints can be, in this case of Team Sponsorship. It is now neutral and one universal influence so that everyone, including HB, can join in on the asset spam fun, but for a price. It has the same (albeit reworded) text and rez cost but costs 1 fewer credit to trash, which all runners will appreciate. Not much else to say about it. If you have a horizontal deck and you can spare the influence, you will probably want to play this. If you play a different archetype, this likely isn't for you.

I do think its uniqueness should be pointed out: there's no possibility of suddenly refreshing 3 Nico Campaigns after you've already earned 27 credits and 3 card draws from them. Even if you have 3 in your deck, you'll have to choose which one of the various cards in HQ or Archives you want to install.
