Yes it is. Faction cost: 2.
Nasir might use it
As long as you're running other sources of link, sure.
This guy is unique, which makes him hard to play - the burst of strength is nice, but why don't you play Access to GlobalSec and Security Chip? The first is self-explanatory, while the chip is cheaper, grants the same, or more, strength, trashable, and 1 less influence. The only positive thing I can think of is that this fella is a Connection. Otherwise - he is too situational and strictly in-faction, at least for me.
You can pack one or two, if you need extra link and trashable for Geist, but I am pretty sure you can find a lot of better options for him.
The Helpful AI isn't really that helpful. I'd spend my influence on Sharpshooter or Deus X in Geist.
Triggered at Step 3.1 of a Run, this might occasionally get you into a server you wouldn't otherwise make or help you get through a surprise Archer when you only have a Femme on the table, etc. It might help the Runner handle the big stuff, if there's no D4v1d handy, in certain ICE-trashing strategies, but really it's just too weak to justify the space it takes up.
Ya. $2, 2 inf for a unique self trashing card with two meh effects is unexciting. Geist would get the trash trigger, but the influence cost is still a problem.
Exactly. IMHO if you put this in a Geist deck you are willingly including a subpar card for the sake of potentially gaining quicker access to better cards, which just doesn't make sense to me.
