Brainiac:

 

Action: Until the end of the phase, increase or decrease a numeral on a target non-objective card in play by 1. (Limit once per turn.)

 

The Flight of the Crow:

 

Each unique Jedi unit gains edge [1] while it is attacking. 

 

If a unit which doesn't have Edge[x] as printed text gains Edge[1] through the crow's objective, or any other similar effect, can Brainiac transform this to Edge[2] ?

My gut is that this doesn't work, but I need to find time to go through prior rulings to see if there's actual precedent.

[medfreeman]

I was of the same opinion, but the other version has its merits too, supported by a good number of my fellow players.
After searching for a long time, i couldn't find any reference to any ruling about this.
The only thing was a post from mattropolis in team covenant spoilers thread about brainiac where he mentions that brainiac could boost himself to edge 2 from crow's edge 1.

My take : as you can transfer gained icons with Echo Cavern, you can modify the gained numeral in edge(1) as Brainiac doesn’t specify « printed numéral »

That exactly the precedent I was looking for (and why I don't answer things with my "gut feelings").  It works.
