There's spoilers on the starboard bow! Jamie Dodd has taken the time to muse on one of the forthcoming cards of the Mumbad cycle: Rebirth. Needless to say it's a card that has raised eyebrows in the Netrunner community for its game changing potential (as well as being a heck of a lot of fun). In this article, Jamie takes us through one of his favourite idea's for Rebirth involving one hell of an expensive console...

Re: The Rebirth of Blackguard
If you wouldn't run silhouette I don't think you'd Rebirth into her - especially since that negates her deck size advantage. I think we'll see plenty of Rebirth Andy, but Gabe, Leela or even Iain are all better options than Silhouette.

Re: The Rebirth of Blackguard
Rebirth will be good in Andy and Val, and probably not worth it elsewhere. I can see matchups where turning into Sil is useful though.

Re: The Rebirth of Blackguard
I can see turning into Sil. Sometimes her ability rocks.
I'm not sure Blackguard is good enough to play. I am not sure where it should be costed - probably less than 5 credits. At more than 10 it seems unworkable.

Re: The Rebirth of Blackguard
So Blackguard only works when the runner is rich enough to install it and the corp is poor enough that its effect can trash some ice, right? Ideally you want to Siphon, Gamble, Blackguard, Rebirth and that's probably easiest out of Andy. Still probably too inconsistent but it sounds like a fun idea.

Re: The Rebirth of Blackguard
I like the idea of how the game would play with Blackguard but to some level it is declaring economic warfare on the corp and then immediately giving itself an 11 credit penalty.

Re: The Rebirth of Blackguard
I played against a blackguard deck for the first time the other day - as well as snitch and blackguard, it ran Run Amok - which put me in a bind - rez the ice, and lose it, or let runner through. There are a couple of Reina decks on nrdb with this combination of cards, but I think this was being played out of Andy.
