Wow, didn't notice that at first; I think you're right.
Did someone mention Snare?
Hey everyone! I was just thinking after a recent game, isn't JH's ability a paid ability? Therefore, my two crucial questions are:
1) He should be installed and active in order to remove him from the game, right? What if he is in the Archives? Cards in Archives are inactive, so you cannot remove him.
2) If he is in the Corp's hand, can he be removed? My guess is again no, since he is not installed. Removing from game and removing from play seems to be two totally different situations.
Yes, it is a paid ability.
His text is not active unless he is installed and rezzed.
You can rez him and use his "remove from game" ability in the same window.
If he is the only card in a server (with no ICE) and you remove him from the game during a timing window, the run is terminated and is neither successful nor unsuccessful, as the server ceases to exist mid-run.
"Remove from game" applies only to that specific copy of the card; another copy can be played later.
His TRASH COST and INFLUENCE VALUE should be swapped...
I'm very surprised this didn't make the Most Wanted list. It fits the profile completely:
Low influence
Zero install
Massive effect
Easy to auto-include in any Corp deck / makes every deck better / requires zero support to be effective
Because of this:
lol!
My take: The fact that Jackson automatically reduces the influence of every non-NBN identity by 3 is already something that players resent. If it were to reduce it by 6, the result of that would be that every halfway viable corp deck would be in NBN from now until the point at which Jackson is cycled out. A crap result for players as they must now deal with a painfully homogenous meta, and a crap result for designers as 3/4 of the corp cards they put out have almost no hope of seeing play for a number of years.
Great point -- it would essentially just strengthen NBN . . . uber-meta-meh.
