I really don’t know how to feel about this card. It’s exceptional on turn 1, giving you the entire turn in one click, but I think it’s kind of dogshit outside of turns 1 or 2. I’d ask myself, “Would people be willing to run three copies of this card to maximize their chance of getting a free turn in turn 1?” but the answer is immediately and obviously “Yes”. We’ve seen time and time again in multiple card games that people are willing to trade a lot to get a really strong first turn.
I’m going to remain mixed on this card until it either sees massive play or no play. I’m currently…

The online TCG Hearthstone has a statistic called drawn winrate. Drawn winrate, to keep things simple, is a measure of what the expected winrate of a deck is in games where you have drawn this card. Another way of viewing this can be, "How much more likely would I be to win if I drew this card right now?"1 All of this brings me to Rashida Jaheem, so let's talk about her.
One of the great failings of Rashida Jaheem is, I would venture to say, she has a high drawn winrate. An early Rashida can really give you the gas you could ever need, and then some, and if you never draw her, you can find yourself struggling to get the cards and money you need to get your game plan going. Now imagine the d…

Cheap facecheck dropped. We’re losing Ice Wall, so this will be appreciated. I have no idea if they’re going to print a replacement for Border Control as well, but cheap ice always see play, and it doesn’t hurt that this is immune to the currently (and likely futurely) very powerful Arruaceiras Crew.
Weyland Ice: Code Gate – AP
Rez cost: 4 – Strength: 5 – Influence cost: 3
You can advance this ice.
When the Runner encounters this ice, if it has 3 or more hosted advancement counters, place 1 advancement counter on an installed card you can advance.
sub Place 1 advancement counter on an installed card you can advance.

Huh. Weyland is losing only one good code gate, and that’s Hortum. Is this playable over other code gates? I don’t think so. It’ll see play in the sense that every new Elevation card will see play, but I don’t think it’s going to make a splash. Cool art though.
Anarch Program: Icebreaker – Fracter
Install cost: 1 – Strength: 1 – Memory cost: 1 – Influence cost: 2

The waters begin to roil, and bit by bit they swell.

Wooo! I'm excited to be back to doing card reviews, and now I can do everything with regular css and js without any hacks (rip cohost ;-;). I'm planning to review every single card in Elevation, the newest set for Netrunner, which is coming out in April 24th of this year. Now that there's a functioning card element, I'm also planning on backporting my previous Netrunner card reviews over to this site when I can find the time. Either way, I hope you're excited! This is gonna be a lot of hype!
We are entering a post-FFG world, and this makes card reviews really tricky. You can’t exactly compare cards to the current meta, since so many staple cards are going to disappear. According to some…
