turns out it simply installs the ice but doesn't rez it, which is incredibly less useful. this thing is only good for saving an install click and a couple of credits for installing outer layer ice.
Well, yes... technically. It has the same problem as a Woodcutter: it does absolutely nothing to interact with the current run, only the future ones. Off the top of my head, this becomes really useful with 3 effects:
- Ash
- Nisei Mk. II
- Cell Portal
The Cell Portal combo is especially hilarious, when you think about it (provided you actually have enough ICE in your hand).
Also, unlike woodcutter which requires you to pay additional resources before it becomes useful, this actually saves you resources for later. I think it's more like Pop-up window in my mind.
I'd say it's a 4 if not.
I show people this card and all they have to say to me is that it doesn't end the run
so put an Icewall down first or something, whatever.
or if not in that order, the runner already got through anyway if they hit your mine layer in last position
normally it takes a click to install an ice, plus credits = to ice on the server.
now, not only does it not take 1 of your 3 clicks, but 1 of the runners clicks... on the runners turn not yours. His clicks install your ice when he runs, and pays for your install.
this card could be reworded 'gain a free click and the appropriate amount of credits to install a piece of ice on the runners turn per run'
install on the 4rd place out = 3 credits
then 5th = + 4 credits
you just gained ( saved )7 credits and 2 clicks... on the runners turn
