If you can load this up by getting into R&D outside of this, you are very likely on the road to victory anyway.
on the one hand, it interacts well with Medium, since you are running R&D a lot and building up the counters is fairly simple. especially with Surge. This is a Virus, so you can tutor and host it with Djinn, which is handy.
the problem is, it makes the decision to purge that much easier if you get too virus oriented.
i think this might be good against shell game decks, since if they are looking to score it is more likely they will be signaling that with a purge.
i think this card is more about forcing purges than directly making agendas more difficult to score.
And if they don't play Fast Advance, it's still great! No more 1-turn Hostile Takeover. All 3/2 agendas need to be telegraphed. Love it!
also having more than 1 in play
so many people miss this concept in most of the posts I read or people I talk with.
