Likes Early Bird, for sure.

 

I'm not crazy about the double-click break, but I guess if you're in a pinch and have plenty of clicks . . .

Putting Snitch in your deck may be helpful. You must run, but if you're not ready yet or the installed ICE could be something you can't break - and Dr. Lovegood isn't on the table - just check the ICE and jack out.

can i use abilities, which initiate a run (like Dorm Computer)?

Seems so, since Dorm Computer clicks "to make a run," (same with Keyhole et al.). That seems to satisfying the criterion. I'd say yes until we hear otherwise.

Lukas has confirmed that you can use things like Sneakdoor Beta, Dorm Computer, and Keyhole to satisfy this requirement.

I think the double click break is there to let him apply early pressure and score a quick agenda to feed his console. Legwork through a barrier on turn 1 for a 4 card access or walk into a remote.

It's not of much use later in the game where 2 clicks for 1 sub break is generally poor economics... Unless you're using e3 and encountering curtain wall/archer...

Without e3 in my deck this is the first directive I'd scrap.

Well, FAQ 3.1 states that this is not the case (anymore) *sadface* :[

I am curious what the rationale was behind that decision. Maybe if Keyhole Adam was destroying the meta, but why now?

Is Deuces Wild (Flashpoint #8) a legal way to meet ABR's run condition? It's not a run event, but if you resolve his fourth ability, a run is made. The FAQ only talks about programs not counting.
