    Does the “at random” refer to which cards are taken from the Runner’s grip, or the order that those cards are added to the bottom of the stack?

    Both.

Reviews

Daniela Jorge Inácio is an agenda-protecting (and self-protective) “pseudo-damager” sysop.

Compare: Ben Musashi crossed with Calvin B4L3Y.

For example, it upgrades Fujii Asset Retrieval into Obokata Protocol; and it itself has a “trash value” of four (two credits and two cards), cf Hokusai Grid.

Design: I really like non-credit extra-trash-costs such as Daniela’s (same with non-credit break/boost-costs such as Audrey’s).


PS. The name seems to be pronounced [da.ˈnje.la ˈɟ̞or.xe i.ˈnas.jo], like “da-NYE-la YOR-hay ee-NAS-yo”.

This upgrade makes landing Punitive Counterstrike SO much easier. BUT, the runner can still score the last agenda before being flatlined, unless they had only one card in hand, which would make the "cost" to steal impossible to pay for the runner.

Hence, this upgrade combine well with Punitive Counterstrike (as stated above), Angelique Garza Correa, Hokusai Grid Mganga and Anemone. The last two ices can make it impossible for the runner to steal that agenda.

The best part is that even if the runner use Pinhole Threading, the runner will have to take out ALSO two cards from hand.

But, contrary to Angelique Garza Correa, this upgrade will NOT flatline the runner, unless the runner access it first, before accessing a trap.

In any case, paying 2 to take out 2 cards from the runner's hand is a bargain.

The only drawback is that it provide the runner with a choice, which makes it slightly weaker.

Art and name is nice. The quote provide some context, but I need more to understand it, something is missing here.
