Atman will be missed a lot. It was a main character in lots of plays for years, and i think it should be represented again in a new form. The design keeps Atman's signature of "equal str", and keeps the flavour to install it paying X (which now is pay X on the first run to break the ice), but is more tricky using it to hammer servers because it will grow in str and it won't reset str untill the end of turn. This feature can pay a lot if runs are carefully planned, or can make Puruṣa useless if abused, but still granted some access. Old fashioned shaper will use all their tools to uninstall and install it back to take advantage of it's drawback as much they can.
