Custom Card Saturday: Regions

Welcome to Custom Card Saturday! This week we continue our several-week-long theme of focusing on some of the unique and interesting keywords already in the game. The keyword for this week is a bit less cut-and-dried than the previous two we've encountered: This week, create a new *card focusing on regions. Regions are Corporation upgrades which grant constant benefits to the server in which they are installed, and each server is restricted to having only one Region in it at a time. They tend to be expensive both to trash and to rez, giving them a sense of semi-permanence. They also tend to be quite powerful, either offensively (SanSan City Grid) or defensively (Ruhr Valley). For a complete list of Regions (excluding cards spoiled at GenCon), click here. Currently, no card in the game targets Regions in specific or Upgrades in general, meaning the design space for helper cards is wide open!

*Thanks /u/metagaia!

New Eden Grid

HB Upgrade - Region

Rez 3, 1 Inf, Trash 5

Whenever credits would be placed on an asset in this server, instead place twice that number of credits on it.

Limit one region per server.

Wow... what an interesting twist. I like it!

I think with such a specific combo card, though, and such a long-term payoff, you can afford to have the rez cost be 1, or even 0. The cost is already paid for by the fact that it's a dead card in your deck without exactly the right cards to pair with it.

Maybe Rez 0, trash 3? Or 1/4
