I suspect this'll be best in Criminal decks packing lots of Crescentus, Emergency Shutdown and Compromised Employee.
It's a good first turn play if you want to screw the corp's math, face-checking one bit of ice in order to get past the second one. With a bit of luck, this can let Whizzard trash something important.
Other than that, I'm not too keen on the install cost, influence cost and the fact that it's unique and a resource.


Not that it's useless, but Criminals who play hardcore money denial (forced activation orders, vamp, account siphon) usually really like to keep their tags on. Unfortunately for Xanadu. Can still be worth it for Noise who would like to play a similar game.

True, but it would still force the corp to spend two money and an action, else pay 1 for ever piece of ice. Could still be good for just dropping and running the same turn.
