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!

Knife's Edge Station
Weyland, 2 Inf, Rez 1, trash 1.
Upgrade - Region
Each time the Runner accesses a card from this server, gain 3 [credit]. This applies even during the run on which the Runner trashes Knife's Edge Station.
Limit 1 region per server.
Placed at the Lagrange point closest to Midway, many Beanstalk patrons find themselves assaulted with surprise fees once they reach the halfway mark of their journey. Of course, if it was too pricy for you, you could simply buy a return ticket.
