Almost every criminal decks will benefit from this hardware. Run on click 0 and spend 2 to bypass any of the worst ice there, sign me up!

Considering that Docklands Pass and WAKE Implant v2A-JRJ are in faction and synergize well with this hardware. Best thing is that it is useful at every point of the game.

While it does not benefit from using all the run based event that criminal has, it allows criminals to put pressure on the corp by forcing the rez of at least 2 ices on HQ. If you also play with Emergency Shutdown, this becomes a nightmare for the corp : free run on HQ, corp rez to protect, you bypass and then derez the ice, thus costing the corp load of credits.

Even at 4 influences (a correct amount in my opinion), it is worth it for out of faction pressure. Anarch can use it with The Twinning for multiaccess on HQ, shaper can use it as a pressure tool to force the corp to rez more ices than needed. While of the 2 cost, makes this less ideal for Deep Dive, running clicklessly, then breaking ice normally is a way to get have an extra for Deep Dive. What a busted card!

Best of all, for veteran netrunner players, is that it let you do what Always Be Running was allowing you to do, but better (full bypass instead of breaking one sub).

I wish my alarm clock was doing those holograms. Good art (who is that person?), splendid quote, amazing card name, stupendous card.

What an amazing card this is! This is on par with Bahia Bands, but even better, as it actually let you pressure the corp even more.

For a mere 1, you get to run a server, derez the most problematic ice (possibly for the corp to spend an inordinate amount of credits to protect itself) AND install a program or hardware. Yes, please!

The gain in tempo is amazing. This is like gaining an extra click. You get to feel a bit like Arissana Rocha Nahu: Street Artist, but you also get to put down something that could be useful. Be it Boomerang, Jeitinho, Botulus or even Saci (as described in the previous review).

This is even better with an ID like Az McCaffrey: Mechanical Prodigy or Los: Data Hijacker.

At 2 influences, it is a bargain and can be used easily out of faction. Shapers will like the gain of tempo, but Anarch will benefit the most, with access to Botulus and Paladin Poemu.

The art is well done and it encapsulate the quote and the ability of the card. Good job.

Fantastic review of D4v1d-Gr43b3r! I'm adding some synergies and utilities for this fun tutor.

First, Meeting of Minds is now the only card that tutor ressources (limited to connections and virtual). This is because World Tree has been banned.

Then, is this card worth it in faction? Yes! Because it let you spend less influence on important ressources, and still be able to find those resources, in exchange for a bit more credits. Here are some ressources that can really shine if you find them early.

A special note about DJ Fenris, which could let you import Sebastião Souza Pessoa: Activist Organizer and play a ressources/connections centric runner, especially good with Az McCaffrey: Mechanical Prodigy.

Out of faction, at 3 influences, it is possible to imagine using one copy of it to have a 4th of many connections used in the deck archetype, thus getting an insurance on finding the ressource early, such as the ressources stated above.

The art is amazing and is worthy to make a playmate of it, which encapsulate the theme and ability of this card, along with its name. First class job.

One of the best card in the Sebastião Souza Pessoa: Activist Organizer arsenal, second only to Arruaceiras Crew.

For the price of triggering Sebastião Souza Pessoa: Activist Organizer ability, you get to have multiaccess. On top of this, trashing this card cost even more for the corp of at Threat 3, considering Seb ability.

This goes well with everything that Sebastião Souza Pessoa: Activist Organizer.

Using this ressource, you can see and trash 3 cards using Eye for an Eye. Or just see 3 cards with Jailbreak, on HQ or R&D.

Best combo is probably with Divide and Conquer, which would let you see 2 cards in HQ AND R&D!

I understand that Manuel, which seems to be some sort of university professor, who could maybe provide multiaccess. I get the part of using some kind of corruption to have better access to research (infered from the quote). The art is well made and the quote flavorful, if controversial. Considering this, it could be a good candidate for an alternative art. Still, I like this card and it is well made.

The second punishment for purging viruses, after Acacia. But instead of giving you money, the corp loses two cards from hand.

But this comes at the cost of 1 MU. And MU are tights for Anarch.

Freedom Khumalo: Crypto-Anarchist would probably benefit the most from this program. But any virus heavy deck might consider this program.

Unfortunately, it does not prevent the purge of virus, just makes it more painful for the corp. And purging viruses is done only if it prevent the corp from losing the game.

Still, the first ability is also quite useful, to take out of archive the best cards, like Mavirus, Audacity, Seamless Launch, etc. Then the corp must purge to get those cards back, along with losing 2 cards. This is an undervalued ability, but quite potent.

At 2 influences, this can be used easily out of faction. Criminals using Aumakua and shapers using Conduit can benefit from Heliamphora.

The art represent what the name of the card is : a carnivorous plant. With a suiting quote and effect. Good design!
