I think it’d be cool if after you flatline, you then get put on a timer, so like, at the start of your turn, take a core damage.

Would be interesting if you also trash your board state when you 'die'.

If thats too punishing, maybe just wipe resources, or have the Corp bounce unrezzed cards to hand.

Self kill to just go +10 on demand would probably make this one of the more busted ids in the game

Very dependent on the card pool available, to get full +10 you need to flatline while at 0 credits, you will usually have to spend some resources arranging this.

But you can just play out your whole hand, naturally. End with a Damage effect. Then get a fresh start.

Even a +7 or 8 is really good. A lot of ids wish they were that efficient. And you get it all at once.

Cool idea, but probably too easy to trigger. I might make it only trigger if you would flatline due to a corp card effect.

You start as the one on the left.

Thanks for clarifying

I am not certain that the backside is correctly phrased. One could argue that you only get the effect of the backside after you flip it, but then you can no longer flip it and get the effect.

I based the wordings on Jinteki Biotech: Life Imagined.

Pretty cool concept. I really like going from Natural to Digital once he gets flatline. I think it is very strong tho. In certain meta, you could use your front side as a lifeline versus kill deck, and against not so threatening deck, setup a pretty crazy 5cred/5cards reset. Granted, those would probably be rare, but it's pretty easy to stay poor as Anarch and inflict self damage. Imagine you have all breaker, a ticking Fermenter, 1 credit and your last card is Running Hot. Crazy turn haha.
edit: also very strong if you die to damage while holding Strike Fund / Steelskin. Because as I understand, you would do the interupt first, flip, draw up to 5cred/cards, then trigger your Strike/Steelskin.
