I discovered El Royale Casino during a search for casinos that offer live gaming sessions, as I prefer the interactive aspect of live dealers. The first game I joined was a live roulette table, hosted by a charming dealer who made all participants feel like VIPs. The game ran smoothly, without any lag, which is often a concern given the internet speeds in more remote parts of Australia like where I live.

How is it possible that this ID does not have a review? One of the most fun IDs to both play against and as, The Outfit asks the Corp player to give the Runner +1 credit per run to gain 3 credits now. Given that the Runner needs the most credits during runs, whatever benefit the ID provides the Corp player is already balanced out. Thanks to RegCap, the Corp is incentivised to keep at least four bad pubs, leading to some really desperate games where the Runner, provided that he is using SMC and Simulchip, is always dealing with more than he would otherwise expect against other IDs. There are, of course, alternative means of handling runs, but the runs themselves, the showcase of the entire game of Netrunner, are what make The Outfit one of best IDs to tinker with.

Yes, this is a terrible console in Criminal, Hermes has blown it out of the water, especially with Criminal having a lot of HQ pressure, however I believe this is actually phenomenal console to work with Sebastião Souza Pessoa: Activist Organizer, and some of his lackeys. Let's put it this way, you hit threat 3, draw an Archives mark, run it with Eru Ayase-Pessoa, so at the end you tag a take and breach R&D. However, the successful run is still on the mark, so you'll see two in R&D, so far so good. However, when Manuel Lattes de Moura pokes his head out it gets very interesting. Manuel says that wonderful word; 'whenever'. So, you run Archives, breach R&D whilst tagged, see 2 cards in R&D with Eru, plus a third thanks to Manuel, THEN Virtuoso comes in and lets you into HQ, and because Manuel is whenever, you're seeing 2 cards in HQ. 5 cards for one archive run? Sounds pretty good to me. Just a shame that it's 4 influence.

I'm editing this review because I've had a change of heart on T-Bolt. Not in Standard, it doesn't stand a chance there, but in Startup. You can score the new 3/1, derez a Tithe, and make your nastiest ice all the better. Just good wholesome purple fun.

If you could freely decide which ice to use the ability on once per turn, it would have been busted, but also that's about the level of strength you need to make running 5/2s worth it. As is should have been a 5/3.

EDIT: having played around with it, I'd like to retract my original statement. This card is exactly where it should be. It is obscene on its highs, i.e. when you make the Runner reencounter Anansi or Cloud Eater, but it is just fine on averages as well. Or to rephrase myself, I don't want this agenda stronger than it is, because it already is on the edge of disincentivising running and interacting often, especially if you can somehow "cheat" it in early via Regenesis or other means. Notrunner is not good for the game, I imagine it is the most popular opinion there is.
