From a design perspective, I love that this has no subroutines at all. The low rez cost is also very nice. It's not very strong ice, but as a flat 2 or 3 credit or 1 click tax on the runner it has potential to be suitably annoying...especially on a central.
"Must lose" is a nice phrase, certainly better than "if able." Could be good in HB or Replicating Perfection. Probably nasty stacked in a server (that's a lot of action for 3 credits).
I will never be able to play this card without hearing Danny DeVito singing in my head.
Given that this has no subroutines whatsoever, I'm a bit perplexed as to why they made this a sentry rather than a trap. Even if you have a sentry breaker, it's completely irrelevant to this ice.
Ah yes, it affects Mother Goddess. Just realised the answer to my own query.
Also, you might add subroutines to it (Sensei, Marker, Sub Boost).
It can also be destroyed by using Forked. If you pass a piece of ICE with no subroutines at all, it counts as if you'd have broken all subroutines.
Indeed. I'd only been playing the game for a couple of months at the time I made that post, so I was still getting my head around a lot of things. I was going to a Store Championship right after Order & Chaos came out and I was expecting to see Eater killing ICE with cutlery absolutely everywhere. Ironically, I chose to use Troll because I thought it couldn't be Forked. Fortunately that misunderstanding never came to bite me because not only was there no ICE destruction, I was almost the only person playing an Anarch ID at all. How times change...
