Reviews

Early Elevation: This is looking to be one of the strongest cards in the set, despite not even being part of "spoiler season".

Obviously it's a slightly cheaper Hedge Fund split over two turns with the downside of being pseudo-Priority (though you can play it with things like Humanoid Resources or Subcontract as long as it's your first click.)

Hedge Fund is pretty good and most corps run it, so this card makes money.

More interesting is the interaction with cards like Nebula Talent Management: Making Stars and Plutus, where the click gain turns this into a viable fast-advance tool. It's even a unique action for MirrorMorph: Endless Iteration, which might help that often-experimental identity out.

There's some counterplay: Cupellation can take this hostage for a time, and Heliamphora is a particularly big threat; however Cupellation tends to have better things to do and Heliamphora has not been very good for its life so far. Transfer of Wealth is also particularly good due to the adjusted priority clause.

Overall, I'd expect this to show up heavily at this year's World Championship.

Can the Click ability be used even if Petty Cash is facedown in archives?

There's no official Ruling yet afaik, but I'd say yes. Which actually would make trashing this from HQ almost as valuable as playing it from HQ. A great synergy with everything that asks you to trash from HQ as a cost. Like Plutus.
