Possibly useful as Faust food that pays you later.
Not strong enough on its own to justify the 6 slots necessary to make it pay best. (6 slots for 15 credits if you see all of them). The draw softens the blow, but you're still hitting 2 credits per click only on your 5th play, so you need strong draw to get anywhere with this.
1st Application: 1 card
2nd Application: 1 card, 1 credit
3rd Application: 1 card, 2 credits
4th Application: 1 card, 3 credits
5th. Application: 1 card, 4 credits
6th Application: 1 card, 5 credits
1st Same Old Thing: 1 card, 5 credits
2nd Same Old Thing: 1 card, 5 credits
3rd Same Old Thing: 1 card, 5 credits
So you gain up to 9 cards and 30 credits.
The efficiency goes down with Same Old Thing, but it's still pretty good with the draw mitigating what would otherwise be a pretty poor click-to-credit ratio.
You've got 15 clicks of card plays for 30 credits, plus the first draw, which varies in weight depending on the build, but solid . . . for 9 card slots.
Magnum Opus will give you that precise ratio . . . with a 5-credit initial outlay, but without taking 9 slots. You don't get the draw, but the draw is a push with Exclusive Party (since you had to draw it).
So, I agree, pretty good . . . as long as you have a deck that's going to draw itself, which is more likely with this card . . . but it remains not strong enough on its own (and it commits Same Old Thing down a narrow path, far from CBI Raids, Account Siphons, and Drive Bys).
It is a double-edge knife with this card - the first 3 copies are not meant to be played, they should go to your Heap after you overdraw, so when you find the other 3 (if you do), you will net 3 cards and 3 credits more than just running 3 Easy Marks, i.e. that's 3 additional Sure Gambles with built-in draw. So the only real problem is the 3 additional card slots you have to dedicate and ensuring the card draw.
Fisk Investment Seminar is almost a must with this card - you want to draw those cards, but then you have to either CBI the Corp, or find another way to mitigate the acceleration.
If Palana Agroplex sees more play, Criminals should actually consider this card as discarding it is the way to go anyway.
Don't forget that Magnum Opus eats 2 MU and costs influence out of shaper.
On a side note: I wouldn't play Drive By with Same Old Thing. 3 clicks looks ridiculous to me, considering that if you expose an Agenda, you have only 1 click left to claim it. Well, maybe on a Mushin'd card.
You know what card had an effect very similar to this one? Power Nap. I predict that Exclusive Party will see exactly the same amount of play.
