Reviews

A near print of Egret which I always thought was a cool card but I didn't see other people playing it. Perhaps to reflect that fact this card is both cheaper (1 credit instead of 2) and doesn't have the restriction of having to be installed on a rezzed piece of ice - meaning you could use to face check when you have a single breaker installed. Of those changes I feel like the lifting the rezzed restriction is a bigger deal. Writing this just prior to the release of Elevation so I've not actually played with it yet but seems like a cool card, both for early game face checking and also as a tool for dealing with a tricky bit of ice so you can use your best/most efficient breaker

This card pairs well with GAMEDRAGON™ Pro, allowing you to ensure that stacked pieces of ice will share a subtype. Now the boosted strength being carried over will likely be more useful!

On the downside, you still have to watch out for cards like Hammer which demand a specific type of breaker in their text.
