THE BEST DAMN CARD IN THIS SET! If not for the three influence cost i would honestly run this in every single deck ever!

I'm having fun with this in a NBN deck I just threw together. I store up advancements on Ice Walls then bounce them onto agendas with this.

Really useful for transferring advancements on failed traps too. As a runner - I really hate this card. :(
Best card ever!

Keep advancing traps. If the runner accesses them, that's fine. If not, that is fine too, you just transfer the advancement tokens from the traps to an agenda. This way, even agendas that take five, six or more advancement tokens can become 1-click scores. Genious!

That's not possible. Trick of light only transfers up to 2 advancement. I think perhaps you meant "1-turn" score, which would require 2 trick of light and a 4-advanced trap (for 4-5 cost agenda), or 3 trick of light and a 6-advanced trap (for 6+ agenda). Not an easy combo in general. What's more often is that you'll be able to score a 4-cost agenda in 1 turn, which is cool by itself.

Yeah, I totally misread the card description (I got too excited... :) ). Still, it is a good card; it's just not as powerful as I believed at first, which is a good thing. If it were the way I read it at first, this card would be way too overpowered. :rolleyes:
If you move 2 advancement tokens, must they both be moved to the same card?
yes, they must be moved from 1 card to another card
