- ↑ Alpha & Outmost ICE RulingWhen does Alpha check whether the ICE it is approaching/encountering is the outermost piece and therefore a valid target to break? Is the "outermost ICE" a constant condition regardless of previous board state, or does it remember (ie: the outermost ICE at start of run is the outermost ICE for the duration of the run irrespective of whether it is present after the first Run Chart Step 2/3 iteration)?
Alpha only cares that the ice is the outermost piece of ice when you are paying the paid ability to break subroutines.
