"The motto of all the #Mongoose family is "Run and find out"

Beautiful flavour for what looks to be a very nice little breaker for the aggressive runner. Two influence will see it see play out of faction but will naturally see most play in aggressive Criminals.

My current crim deck uses a pair of Faerie and a Garrote as the solution to sentries. Three creds to completely break Architect, five to break Data Raven and eight to break Archer puts it on on good footing with Garrote which is superb value. It also makes light work of Komainu but falters somewhat against Cortex Lock.

The downside is of course you can only use it once per run but for early pressure it is a superb breaker. In a deck playing Faerie and a more expensive breaker, there is an argument to be made for Mongoose replacing either the Faeries or the more expensive breaker. I think the former is a better option right now. It's perfect for those early game forays into enemy servers and can be overwritten once a long-term breaker can replace it.

Overall, great card!

High-Stakes Job appears to be a solid criminal card on first appearance and looks like it should see some play once Kala Ghoda releases.

However once you scratch a little deeper, it will require planning to play correctly. Firstly, as a 3-inf, 6 cost Criminal run event, it is not going to see alot of splash in other decks. With Prepaid VoicePAD finding itself on the MWL list, you won't see many decks getting discounts on the cost. In addition, there will be times when you cannot play the card as the Corp will have no server with an unrezzed ice. When Dirty Laundry nets you 3 credits and can be used anytime in any deck, it seems like that extra 3 credits is not worth it.

Furthermore, a clever Corp can easily have a Jackson Howard (or a trap) waiting behind one unrezzed ice, perfect bait for you to spend 6 creds and a click.

This looks to be a Criminal Only card. Even at that, there are many Criminals that will favour more reliable burst economy. The only deck that will see alot of use for this card is one that uses three Public Terminal.

Enter Mr. Ken "Express" Tenma: Disappeared Clone.

A 6 credit event that nets you 12 is ok. A 3 credit event that nets you 13 (14 with Desperado) for a single click and run is huge. Granted, you still have to break ice but you are still going to be gaining credits for running. Cards like DDoS work incredibly well with this idea.

With the MWL taking some of Ken's econ (e.g. PPvP x 3 and Desperado x 2), Public Terminal x 3 and High-Stakes Job x 2 seems like a perfect replacement.
