My Favorite Runner's Card! With Imp Anarch are more dangerous in a Run on HQ!

Anarch players, how does this stack up against Demolition Run? With a Medium out I don't see that it's better against R&D. I guess it gets you another card out of HQ but over another turn and at the cost of 1MU which in a virus deck is rather pricey.
Demolition run is quite bad against any Corp that can protect its RnD - if you cant get your mediums running Demolition run is not that good. (If you can it is a really scary card though) The main problem with demolition is you dont know what you will hit, and you need to pay in advance.

Imp on the other hand is pure gold - Noise discards card paying 2 and that's nice by itself, but this card stays on the board and waits for good targets, when you see that scorched/bad ice/good asset with big trash cost (especially rezzed) you just get rid of it.

I would assume that the corp would run a virus purge at the first sight of this card. If that's the case, is the card still worth it? might be, just for the extra turn you get when the corp has to run the purge.

After using this a few times, I suggest building and ICE planting first. Then install and start running like a madman to trash stuff from hand or RnD. (RnD more likely due to this being in Noise deck.)

As a corp I don't immediately purge virus counters when I see this. It's usually not worth spending a whole turn just to kill this card. Now if they have Medium and Data Sucker out...different story altogether!
I still really do like this card though.
Can Imp trash accessed agenda? I think "No" (if you access agenda you have to steal it) but my colleague thinks that "Yes".
