Far better than the hype its not getting. NAPD's become even more unscoreable, Astro is mildly affected, medical breakthrough gets effectively blanked, and 2/1s get a bit worse. Its nice that it's a current, and going into glacier town, this might make 4/2s see more play if people think it through. If you need a current for 0 inf to do nothing else but crack ELP or house keeping, this is a fair play. I think its fairly well costed, but 1 would have been fine. Interestingly the fragments seem good if this sees play.

This card is mostly punishing HB and NBN since they are the only factions with 6 3/2's available to them Accelerated Beta Test & Project Vitruvius, AstroScript Pilot Program & Project Beale.

Seems best played once the corp has scored 4 or 5 points (depending on the spread). There's definitely something to be said about forcing your opponent to score a 3/1, 3/2, 4/2, or 5/3 as a 4/1, 4/2, 5/2, or 6/3...

While this is a card that probably needs to exist, I don't think we'll see many Runners start packing this because of it's only going to be effective against a very narrow spectrum of Corp decks. What it does, however, it does exceedingly well, and will make a very decent alternative to Clot.

So what does it kill?

• Astrotrains
• Atlastrains
• Medical Breakthrough
• PE Shellgame decks with tons of 3/1 agendas
