Writing a very niche review here due to something that came up in my game. Was up against a Knifing steve and my deck doesn't run deep ice so I was in a little bit of trouble. Knife doesn't want to score or care about scoring it puts pressure on the corp to beat their timeline.

Started installing remotes as a mix of Behold!, Project Beale Oracle Thinktank and Stoke the Embers. I looked like an asset spam deck in his mind so why wate time. I start slow advancing a few things, score out a Tomorrowʼs Headline to land 1 tag and slow him down.

Then the moment happened. I was able to chain 2x Stoke the Embers to get me to 6 points. He runs my other advanced agenda (Oracle Thinktank) which was behind Funhouse and alongside AMAZE Amusements. He couldn't ditch enough tags and I Psychographics out and scored a final agenda.

Older version of my deck had 2x Offworld Office but as a little Knife protection and to pop advancement tokens onto Behold! this makes the cut.

This ice is quite taxing until the runner decides to just float tags. Works really well for central protection in the tagging archetype. I want you to float tags, you don't want to deal with this on encounter so you want to float tags. Just don't get Mindscaped or go Psycho.

The cost is hefty but it's better than Cloud Eater where you have to rerez it every time you want its cool effect. One stolen or scored Send a Message will do the trick. Sucks to get emergency shutdown however.

A balanced version / replacement for Archived Memories. This gets you card draw and brings a card back from archives and makes you a little money. . It is however a double causing you a hit in tempo. One way to fix this (after Threat 3 has been achieved) is with Sudden Commandment. The 2 credits pay for most of the click-refund on commandment. This means you can spend 2 credits, draw 4 cards and add 1 card to your hand from archives for 1 click. You net 3 cards.

This is great to pair with a spin doctor if you're trying to "reach" for certain cards, esp if they would be gaming winning. Pull back 1x Mindscaping and "reach" for your 2nd copy while the runner happened to float 3 tags and be in a kill window. Or grab a Your Digital Life, make a ton of money and spend it on something like Psychographics.

This card is also very well paired with Oppo Research. Refill your hand, pick up the oppo you used last turn and keep piling on tags until the runner submits and just starts floating.

Most decks would rather opt for Spin Doctor or Sprint. This is very much a card for repeating quite specific combos and/or builld arounds.

As the other review on this page mentions there is the issue of not stopping the steal with this agenda. I think that is ok for two core reasons.

1. It helps turn on threat when stuff gets stolen. i.e. Oppo Research or Sudden Commandment
2. You turn on a lot of things when tags stick.
3. You have some say over how things get stolen, especially early game.
4. This is great HQ protection when you're flooded with little ice. You will likely get something stolen, might as well get something out of it.

The two big uses I've found for this in my NBN: Reality Plus Psychographics deck are: 1. Discard Tomorrowʼs Headline and Oracle Thinktank after doing some massive draw, esp great when you rez The Dr.. Have AMAZE Amusements on your archives. They run archives to force you to spin. You put back some other tech you need and let them take 4 tags. 2. Setup a scoring remote behind Funhouse and/or Virtual Service Agent. Install AMAZE Amusements an slow advance agendas out. Have a B-1001 behind another annoying ice in case you really want to protect the agenda you're advancing.

Both of these setups also turn on Oppo Research for the next turn. If you get to threat 3 you get more tags too.

This has been consistently letting me stick tags vs all but the most caution of runners. I've slow advanced a Send a Message, had them ignore it and get to rez big ice on a central then they have to start running it. Just make sure you get to reset the scoring server with new agenda.

This ice seems ok on a standard value curve in NBN: Reality+. A smart player might end the run when facechecking early game so it can work like a 3 credit soft-gear check to sneak out an agenda or make trashing regolith annoying. This ice however is so much more than that.

While trying to figure out how to mluti-tag and in general make a Psychographics deck that can work in startup I stumbled upon how well this ice works. In my Psychographics deck I run 1 iced scoring remote and it has 1 or 2 of these on it. Even if they pay to avoid the second tag you're getting a nice credit drain.

Set this up in front of AMAZE Amusements install an agenda and advance it 1x. Bonus points for using Tomorrowʼs Headline or Oracle Thinktank. This becomes 4-5 tags to steal. I've even used it with Send a Message in the early game to get 4-5 tags AND scale straight to threat 3 so I can follow up with a 4 tag Oppo Research. Land 9 tags over 2 turns and some will stick.

In a pinch this can also work very well as R&D protection.

Final mention on this is with B-1001. Protect B-1001 with something nasty like The Toolboxor Seraph then start scoring agendas in the above mentioned scoring remote and your opponent is gonna have a bad time. Bonus points for using the send the message steal to turn on your threat and rez the Seraph protecting B-1001.

I love this ice in Reality+ but i'm not sure if it fits as well elsewhere.
