TLDR : cheaper version of Daily Business Show and combine with Balanced Coverage.

In an asset spam deck, allow to get more draw. At 2 to trash, it will be targeted by the runner, which will allow the corp to use Oppo Research. Obviously, getting trashed will trigger Epiphany Analytica: Nations Undivided ability.

Because it is 2 to trash, and 2 influences, it is almost never used out of faction.

This asset is welcome in any deck that intend to control, especially if the deck specialize in asset spam, such as Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center.

Great art, great quote, great name, great card. Phenomenal work!

Jinteki has Snare!, NBN has Behold!. Basically the same thing, at the same price.

Of course, since NBN: Reality Plus is now banned, the value of this trap has gone down a bit. Giving 2 tags for 4 credits is okay and basically just rob the runner of two clicks, since there is no economic differential.

Still, 2 tags means more tag punishment are enabled, such as Shipment from Vladisibirsk. This trap is meant to be play in a deck that storm the runner with tags.

Out of faction, it is harder to justify, as most other factions just need to stick one tag. And for the same influence cost, you can had Oppo Research, Chekist Scion or Ping, all of which would be a better value usually.

Art, quote and name are all the BEST of the card pool coming from The Automata Initiative, even if the effect is not as amazing. Splendid!

Best combo is with Open Forum and Federal Fundraising. That is the TLDR.

More, oky, here it is. For the low price of 1 and a fair trash cost of 3, you can gain 2 per turn with this asset.

Of course, the above cards will allow you to know the type of the card on top of R&D. But, if you play an asset spam deck, with 24+ assets in the deck, just guessing asset is reasonable and will usually net you 2 every other turn.

This asset is custom made for Epiphany Analytica: Nations Undivided, since you get to know the next 3 cards of R&D.

The fun part is that you can also get the info from Stargate, if the runner uses it.

Out of faction, this asset combine well with any asset spam deck for the reason cited above. At only 1 influence, it is easy to import it and it gives a good return on investment.

This asset also combine with Mindscaping, since you get to place a card on top of R&D.

Superb art, even better quote, let's not get political, but it is an appropriate name. Everything to gives this card flavor and meaning. Fantastic work!

With the ban of NBN: Reality Plus, the stock of Oracle Thinktank has gone down quite a bit.

It is still an okay agenda. Playing well in a deck with lots of traps and tags.

Because of this, this agenda pairs well with any tag punishment, such as End of the Line.

It combine well with Kingmaking, since you don't intend to score Oracle Thinktank, but get a "free" 3rd point with Kingmaking, while having an inescapable tag, thus allowing the use of Oppo Research to further tag storm the runner.

The art is nice, but does not evoke anything related to the name, quote or ability of the agenda. The quote, however, is quite fitting with the agenda ability, same as the name. Good work.

What is the point of such an ID ability? Shenanigans!

But seriously, this identity can make the runner's life quite difficult, because it gives control to the corp.

First, this identity is supposed to be played with Stoke the Embers, for which it is custom made. Not mandatory, but recommended.

Epiphany Analytica: Nations Undivided combine well with multiple cards, such as Federal Fundraising, Balanced Coverage and Open Forum. And if the runner trash any of those cards, they are giving you power counters for your ID.

It also goes well with fast advance tools such as SanSan City Grid, Vladisibirsk City Grid, The Holo Man, Calibration Testing, Biotic Labor and Audacity. Because you get to draw and install ANY of the top 3 cards of R&D, allowing you to to then score any 3-2, 3-1 and 2-1 agendas.

This is fun! It might be the most potent identity, but it promotes an exchange between players that create more interesting choices, for both players. Making the game that much more fun (this is because I think interactions between players is where there is the most fun).

Fine Art, fine quote, fine name, fine ability, fine job!
