    “Knickknack” O’Brian

    Shaper Resource: Connection

    Install cost: 2 – Influence cost: 3

    The first time each turn a run begins, you may trash 1 of your other installed cards. If you do, gain credits equal to its printed install cost and draw 1 card.

    There are a hundred currencies in the undercity, and Knickknack takes them all. Creds and rupiah get you noodles. For his secret menu, he’ll take your burnt-out rigs, your sterilized virii. But to taste his smoked vatchicken stew, bring him what he values most: your story.

    With all the FFG cards going out, there was one in particular that I desperately wanted to see get a great reprint. We're saying goodbye to the goat, the OG, a piece of cardboard that my heart can't live without. Aesop’s Pawnshop is, in this girl's eyes, just the best. A real and true mf. Everything from mechanics and viability, to character, vibes and soul—this 1 credit Shaper staple is cut above everything. My absolute favorite card in the entire game.

    On paper it lets you trash a…

    Magdalene Keino-Chemutai

    Shaper Identity: Cyborg

    Pronouns: They/She

    Minimum Deck Size: 45 – Influence: 15 – MU limit: 4 – Base link: 0

    Whenever you discard cards to reach your maximum hand size, you may install 1 program or piece of hardware from among those cards.

    Good design is invisible—but I’ll never settle for ‘good’.

    4 stars

    “You can hack into OSEAN, and you’re using it to finish your building? With skills like that, you could reshape the city!” “But I don't want to reshape the city. I want to finish my space elevator.”

    I love this ID. I love installing cards and I love the incentive to overdraw. A very Shaper ID through and through.

    Front Side:

    Shaper Identity: Natural

    Pronouns: She/Her

    Minimum Deck Size: 45 – Influence: 15 – MU limit: 4 – Base link: 0

    Whenever you make a successful run, if your MU is full, you may flip this identity and gain 1 credit.

    Who else will teach the stories of good and evil?

    Back Side:

    Shaper Identity: Natural

    Pronouns: She/Her

    MU limit: 4 – Base link: 0

    Whenever you make a successful run, if you have at least 1 unused MU, you may flip this identity and draw 1 card.

    We can’t leave the corps’ dirty deeds in the shadows.

    We got it y'all. The platonic shaper ID: "Oops! All Kickflips!" And just like all Shaper kickflip engines, it’ll probably be meh to bad and everyone will continue playing Lat I guess.

    MuslihaT

    Criminal Identity: Natural

    Pronouns: She/Her

    Minimum Deck Size: 45 – Influence: 15 – mulimit: 4 – Base link: 0

    When your turn begins, look at the top card of your stack. If that card is an icebreaker or a run event, you may reveal it and add it to your grip.

    Peer pressure works.

    4 stars

    MuslihaT is most comparable to Prognostic Q-Loop, since the value is seeing the top card of your stack every turn, and occasionally getting some value from it. I think that’s actually quite good! Occasional free draw is great, and I have high hopes that MuslihaT will be looked upon as the “balanced” version of Hoshiko (They’re both start of turn card draw).

    Hantu

    Anarch Program: Icebreaker – Killer – Virus

    Install cost: 3 – Strength: 2 – Memory cost: 1 – Influence cost: 2

    When you install this program, place 2 virus counters on it.

    Interface → 1 credit: Break 1 sentry subroutine.

    Hosted virus counter: +2 strength.

    "I'm on retainer for monthly purges on thirty-six different servers." —Ratu Maharani, pawang virus

    1 star

    Overall I think this is a fine and functional killer for Anarchs. While it's not a whole lot to write home about, being able to use GameDragon to get a base 3 strength killer will get you through a bunch of things like Drafter. Unfortunately, it also can guarantee that you eat a brutal sentry with a nicely timed Mavirus, which makes it hard to recommend on its own. Flyswatter and Mavirus being in the Standard format make it hard to recommend over its more reliable fire snake. Cookbook and Hantu would be a nice combo, but I think you'd almost always just rather prefer Audrey V2 as your breaker at that point.

    Maintenance Access

    Criminal Event: Run – Double

    Play cost: 0 – Influence cost: 3

    As an additional cost to play this event, spend click.

    Run Archives. When you would approach Archives (after passing all ice), instead change the attacked server to HQ and approach HQ.

    Wow, this card looks extremely underwhelming doesn’t it!

    A WHOLE double just to access a single card from HQ!

    I’ve seen a lot of people lamenting the loss of Sneakdoor Beta. A classic card from core set, now gone from standard. It's gonna sting for some people to see that its replacement is single-use. However, the Netrunner that Sneakdoor was printed in is vastly different to current Netrunner. That 2 MU that you see on Sneakdoor? At most it would be filled with a Datasucker or a Parasite, but in early days Netrunner, there were not a lot of great utility programs worth playing besides Sneakdoor Beta, so that 2 MU was not a massive cost.

    Nowadays, Crim i…

    GAMEDRAGON™ Pro

    Unique Shaper Hardware: Mod

    Play cost: 2 – Influence cost: 2

    When you install this hardware and when your turn begins, you may host this hardware on an installed non-AI icebreaker.

    Host icebreaker gets +1 strength. Abilities that increase its strength last for the remainder of the run (instead of any shorter duration).

    4 stars

    Turbine is gone, so I expect this to see a good amount of play.

    Mahkota Langit Grid

    Neutral Upgrade: Region

    Rez cost: 2 – Trash cost: 2 – Influence cost: 0

    2 recurring (When you rez this upgrade and before your turn begins, refill to 2 hosted credits.)

    You can spend hosted credits to rez assets in the root of this server and ice protecting this server

    Persistent → The trash cost of each asset in the root of this server is increased by 2 credits.

    Limit 1 region per server.

    But Evie! What about Tranquility Home Grid?!

    Tranquility Home Grid is almost an exclusively better Mahkota Langit Grid yes, but everyone can run Mahkota Langit Grid. This isn’t competing with Tranq, this is giving everyone a 0 influence worse version of Tranquility Home Grid. We’re gonna be seeing a lot of this card in every faction except HB, until Ashes rotates out and then we’ll see it in HB too. Also it can pay for ice which is a nice bonus.

    Wow. Null Signal really saw everyone use Hostile Takeover solely to forfeit it, and decided that the nearprint should be genetically engineered to be forfeited as much as possible.
