Tag-me, eat your heart out. I can see this coinciding with Chum or Inazuma for excellent results.
This makes T&B even more terrifying. Plascrete? what's that lol?
I currently use a Weyland-Programm-Destroyer (Archer/Troubleshooter/Shutdown/Ichi) to great success.
But burning out the hardware too? Yes!
Hm... I want to use this in front of Primary Transmission Dish, just because.
Install both. Wait for runner to take bait.
Unless they have a Ninja ready, chances are they're not breaking the subroutine.
It is great to break a console. But after?
I expect it to do nothing during 80% of the runs.
Per my understanding that the second part of the clause happens whether the trace is actually successful as long as the total trace is at least 5, it might be worth it in some decks to trash Plascrete or a juicy console.
But, yeah, I included this in one of my Weyland decks to try it out a while back and after five or six games where it literally never worked I removed it.
with the huge increase in stealth decks using hardware credits this could be a boon. its gone up in my estimation.
Ya, that's a fair point. I'm going to start paying more attention to freqency of hardware stealth credit. You very well could be right.
I'm liking this as a 1-of card. As a 5/5 sentry it has great efficiency against the most popular killers, and it's nice to not get broken by Deus X or Sharpshooter like pretty much every other 5+ strength sentry. Sure it's pretty useless early on, but in the midgame I'll gladly pay 5+3 creds to trash 1 and maybe 2 pieces of hardware and leave a dangerous 5 strength sentry lying around.
Does a nice job of protecting Lotus Field from Yog.0.saurus.
I don't like it. The high rez cost, combined with the fact that you have to pump the trace strength, makes Taurus extremely expensive. Too expensive, considering that it's not a runstopper or immediate threat. (AP/Destroyer)
I have a doubt. If the trace is successful and the strength trace is 5 at least how many hardwares can you trash?
Two, one for the successful trace and another one for the strength or just one in total.
Two. (As if it said: Trash 1 piece of hardware. Trash 1 piece of hardware.)
Both, the trace being successful and the trace strength of 5+, are separate triggers. So a successful trace of 5+ would result in 2 trashed pieces of hardware.
