The understandable failure to test in cardpool of this card is so egregious that it made me put in worlds deck. I was fairly intrigued looking at some of the dies to pinhole cards in Borealis: Part 1 set, as they often seemed to grok the ways in which the original game was fun to win. This boat, on the other hand, abuses a disruptive technique that ANR made prohibitively expensive with good reason, breaking ICE. It's almost difficult to describe the magnitude of how game breaking this buoyant vessel is, because designing it requires a fundamental lack of knowledge of how the world exists as it is rather than how we wish it to be. This attacks multiple pieces of ICE, often times in multiple servers, at the control of the runner, and is triggered often if you run. The amount of time and resources it will take the Corp to mitigate the damage done by this ability text is substantial cognitive load. I'm in genuine awe that any amount of play-testing would allow this hilarious implied pun. At best, this card is an abberation of design philosophy that somehow made Shaper fun to play. At worst it is a warning against taking one's self too seriously.
Is the implied pun... "shipwreck"? "enduring"?
— superheronationThe pun is that the type of boat it is, is an Icebreaker

I keep trying to read just the bold text to make a funny poem but I don't think that's happening.
