(but at least he can't Mimic without help, that's something)
By "just Ninja right through it" you mean pay 5 creds a time, right?
Yep, that's exactly what I mean. Seeing how it takes 4 credits to break through a little Matrix Analyzer, that's not a (relatively) huge amount...
Start Stacking Analyzers and Hunters and Shadows and see if the runner can just walk through first and untag later.
This is not really the case with Uroboros, so reducing the situation to a "this costs 5 to beat and Matrix Analyzer costs 4" does not really capture the relative difficulty of the two pieces of ICE:
Matrix Analyzer does not just "cost 4." It either costs 4, or it costs 2 and a click, or it costs whatever it takes to beat the trace (which may be nothing or more than 4, but perhaps we'll go ahead and see if the corp's coffers are as deep as ours are today), or it costs nothing and the runner ignores the tag, but it's the runner's choice.
Uroboros offers rather less choice to the runner, which is better for the corp.
That being said, Matrix Analyzer makes it into a lot more of my decks than Uroboros does.
Anyway, as always, good comment, Wolfone88
