In my opinion, the rez cost is a bit too high while the trash cost is a bit too low. 1/4 would be more appropriate, I think. If it survives, you may install-advance-advance agendas and ambushes for free, which is nice.
Also, the Alliance condition is pretty easy to meet.
Agreed. The costs neuter it. A pity, as I think it may otherwise have found a niche.
Perhaps coupled with Executive Boot Camp? It reduces the rez cost of your PAD Campaigns as well, so that might be a nice synergy.Scratch that. EBC and PAD Campaign don't work together.
This card is decent in the right set up. It's similar to Shipment from SanSan in click efficiency and tempo gain. Using it to advance agendas is obviously not a great idea, but advancing other things (assets, ice) with it can be efficient.
I'm using it in a Titan space ice / trick of the light / project atlas deck. I stick one of these behind a single gear check ice, wait for the next turn, then rez click click click to advance a space ice or a fire / ice wall, etc. It's a good filler play, useful when I'm waiting on a scoring window.
Even if the runner runs and trashes before I rez it, it is a decent tax. If I get 1 solid turn of use out of it, it saves me $1 net which minus the click to install is a break even. If the runner then decides to trash it, again that's a favorable trade for me. If they don't trash it, I'll use it again and again and again as the game progresses. As soon as I use it a second time, it's pure profit. So basically the worst case scenario is break even.
There's also a nice mini-synergy in that the $9 space ice with 3 advances from PAD Factory are basically free to rez. The space ice are a bit weaksauce due to having only 1 sub, but if I'm not paying any real money to rez them they get a lot better. And after they are rezzed, the tokens fuel ToL so it's just good gravy all around.
I'd like to point out that there isn't the usual "on a card that can be advanced" clause. You could install-advance-advance something like a Snare, Shock or News Team to fake an Agenda.
