GAMEDRAGON™ Pro is a “mobile +1 strength counter”, like a beginning-of-turn Net-Ready Eyes (crossed with a run-length Gebrselassie).

For example, it gives Buzzsaw base 4 strength for Vampyronassa (and lets its $3:+1 last like Gordian Blade, FWIW).

While it's the “new Takobi” (rotated) or “new K2CP Turbine” (banned), its design is more interactive and interesting, IMO (choices and constraints). That is:

• You have to choose which breaker is being boosted, before running. If there's a rezzed ice that's mild, and an unrezzed ice that may be harsh (where the Corp has enough credits), then you have to try and make the right call, or hedge against the facecheck (like by hosting onto a Sentry).
• You can boost only a single breaker (not multiple/all breakers simultaneously), being unique.
• You boost by only a single point of strength (no +2 from Turbine or +3 from Takobi), again being unique.
• You can't tutor for it as soon as you want, let alone fetch it mid-run, being hardware (not "software" for Self-modifying Code).

While the “Gordian effect” is less relevant than the strength-boost (AFAICT, it was included to save credits against, say, quadruple-iced servers without saving any credits against a single-iced servers), it's a fun rider. It distorts ice-positioning (which is fun for the Corp) and, FWIW, it does synergize with Shaper's in-faction “ice-manipulation” (which is fun for the Runner). For example (given the GAMEDRAGON’d icebreaker being a Decoder):

• “painting”: a second ice protecting the server to Code Gate. EG. Pelangi (or the new Chromatophores?).
• swapping: a second Code Gate in (and the Sentry / Barrier / unrezzed ICE, that was behind their Code Gate, out).

In the Standard Ban List 25.04, the SBT say:

GAMEDRAGONTM Pro was designed specifically to be most effective against hyper glacier strategies relying on large, vertical servers. Where Turbine provides a flat economic boost continually from install, to save credits with GAMEDRAGON you need to call your shot and commit to the right icebreaker each turn—especially if you are running into unrezzed ice. GAMEDRAGON also gives Corps the ability to mitigate its impact via ice positioning. However, even with these nuances and counterplay built into the card, at 2 influence, GAMEDRAGON is a worthwhile consideration in Anarch or Criminal.
