This thing really, really hurts decks using Overmind, Sage and/or Ekomind. In early game, it's potentially more dangerous than Neural Katana and an additional reason not to facecheck vs. Jinteki.

Yep. I've been looking forward to this card since it was spoiled. 2 to rez 4 strength sentry with scaled net damage? Yes please. Strong early game, and still decent later on some of the time or vs big MU decks. Also, pairs well with program destruction.

Jinteki is the only ID where a 2 cost, 4-strength sentry with a "subroutine: do nothing" ice can do work; Chum, Sensei, Marker, Edge of World...

I'm gonna try it out, hopefully it can do some work.

I'm guessing most of the time just some dead Imps and stuff will fill out the MU and this will be a worse version of Hunter. We'll see.

 

I also see it as great on the first few turns! This is an ice I wanna see early.

Im going to put this in my IG deck. If it fires early, its damage. If the runner has no spare MU ill trash it and its a +1 strength.

Would kill a Paige piper based men deck early game. Its a real early run deterrent
