I'm pretty surprised they've made it neutral and not just criminal.

I wonder how it interacts with Notoriety, if it interacts at all. The wording is a bit fuzzy, as Notoriety clearly avoids the term "steal", which probably
also allows it to dodge Personal Evolution, which probably means it does nothing with Kraken.
No harm done, I guess, I would need a fifth click to use it anyway.

Which I think is my main problem with this card, with no nice way to control this card's trigger, it's not as fun to use. It's more of a kick the corp when it's already down, or something to capitalize on when you get super lucky. All is good and well, but you need to have that one extra click in any case.
I can see this working best in Noise decks. Use parasite to kill any small ice on the same server as a juicy target, and make a midgame archive run if need be to reliably steal an agenda.

@spectre: No, it wouldn't work with Notoriety.
Good thing Noise was so weak before, since we get both Kraken AND Surge with this pack.

I would bet large amounts of money that it does not work with notoriety, the word "steal" is a dead give away, as you say.

This card is really situational, it blows unless you get lucky, and there is a good candidate. Or it just sits in your hand laughing at your impotence.
Talk about insult to injury.
I'm not sure whom to contact about this so I'll just post it here - it would be all sorts of amazing if the artist's name could be corrected to read "Liiga" instead of "Lilga". It really is a double 'i', and it does say so on the card and a few others that were copied to Card Game DB incorrectly. Thanks!
