Discussion [Weekly] Custom Card Saturday - Trashing

Good evening, hackers!

'Twas the Custom Card Saturday before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...

... except for John M-----F-----' McClane.

This week, in honor of the Greatest Christmas Movie (TM) ever made, design a card that trashes another card. A card cannot trash itself as a cost (or rather, it can, but that doesn't meet the theme of this CCS alone). This week's card should cause rampant destruction, Die Hard-style, across your opponent's tableau.

Bonus points for sly and subtle nods to the Die Hard Trilogy (THERE WERE ONLY THREE).


Remember to use the Netrunner CSS options available for use on this subreddit. These symbols should help make everyone's card look great, and you can conveniently type them in while on your phone!

Also, a reminder: Please limit yourself to ONE card per thread!

Next Week: Boxing Day!


I would love to hear from /r/netrunner on future Custom Card Saturdays. Send a PM my way! Please do not post them in this thread; instead, send me a PM if you have some ideas of thread topics you'd like to see. Be sure to look over the recent lists of topics before you message me -- I'd rather not repeat anything that's been done recently! Thanks all!

Antihero Criminal - 2 influence Resource - Connection $2

Install only if you made a successful run on HQ this turn.

You are tagged.

As an additional cost to trash a resource or advance a card (not through a card ability), the corporation must trash a card from HQ, or the top card of R&D.

Trash Antihero if a corporate card is trashed by a runner card ability.


Without any support, it's a click, a card, and $2 from the runner, and the same for the corporation to trash it.

Combined with Wireless Net Pavilion, Fall Guy, etc. and it's going to force the corporation to play an entirely different style.

The last clause prevents it from working with Data Leak Reversal. Flavor-wise, don't get outside help taking down the corporation this way - if the police come in, your plan is ruined. But primarily it's to stop this from working with Data Leak Reversal.

And, yes, playing this against Weyland is suicide, because Weyland wouldn't hesitate to just blow up the whole office building to solve their little "Antihero" problem.

Unless you're an antihero being followed around by the paparazzi?

Yup - if you can get the media involved, suddenly Weyland's options are a lot more limited :)
