All the other reviews are much better than this one I would argue

Anyways; Strength 5, 4 ETR subroutines is rather solid I think, since that ends up being rather expensive. Best case scenario the runner avoids the server for 4 turns waiting for the power counters to run out. Doubtful that would happen anyways.

However, now that Banner is out, you know what happens. Corp pays 5, runner spends 2 to ignore all those subroutines, except for the one trashing the ICE of course.

Anyways what i'm trying to say is, I think there are more solid barrier options, obviously pairs well with Ob Superheavy Logistics: Extract. Export. Excel. but, again as I said, Banner.

Recently got back into playing Netrunner, found out DNA Tracker got rotated and I was quite bummed out, it was a rather powerful Code Gate for my deck. So I started looking for alternatives.

Similarly to Bwob, I was a bit dissapointed when I found this. 4 strength rather than 6, and Tracker's subroutines seemed a lot more taxing, capable of doing at most 3 net damage, and stealing 6 credits. Ultimately I decided to take it anyways. And again, similarly to Bwob, I was blown away by how well it perfomed. Turned out the increased number of subroutines ends up being more taxing, and sometimes runners decide it's not worth breaking the "Gain 2 ." or the "You may draw 1 or 2 cards.", giving you some easy resources.

Over all, I think it's worth taking in a Jinteki deck.

Also I recently figured this out, and I feel the need to share.

The name "Vampyronassa" most likely references "Vampyronassa rhodanica", "vampire fish trap". The card art looks similar to the reconstruction image that you can find on it's Wikipedia page. Vampyronassa also in a way acts like a vampire, sucking the life out of the Runner for the Corp's nourishment. (Assuming all four subroutines fire) The ICE steals from the Runner 2 and gives them to the Corp, aswell as discarding 2 of the Runner's cards, and giving the Corp 2 cards.

Neat
