Interesting trade off with Interns. I think, generally, I'd rather spend an additional click and still have a click to do something with, vs $2 and terminal. However, in some decks, particularly in faction, this may be the better option.

 

A play like install a 4/2 agenda, advance it, and bring back a Caprice and an Ash from Archives to sit on it could be strong.

Maybe after an Accelerated Beta Test, to recover a trashed Agenda. Ash is also a good call, yes.

 

Or simply recycle Breaker Bay Grid + Eve Campaign.

Friends in High Places, or as it's commonly known 'Canceraidsebola' makes me want to spew the same way Asset spam decks spew four assets a turn.  This card effectively gives the corp two installs and two draws for a single click, along with card selection.  It combos amazingly well with Jackson Howard, (which I hear is a pretty good card already).  E.g.Runner trashes Howard for 3, corp installs two remotes then FIHP to install Jackson and whatever other must trash asset they have.  Then they Jackson FIHP back into their deck along with another two cards; runner cries.  

This absolutely pwnstrobulates interns, it's not even close.  4 clicks of value for 1 click vs 2 clicks of value for 2 clicks?  If it was 4 inf it would probably be ok since it's Gagarin, NBN and Jinteki prison decks that are truly degenerate with this.

After Jackson rotates this will probably be OK.  Preemptive action isn't close to as good since you can't use FIHP to install it and it doesn't give you the draw you need to keep spewing assets at the same rate.

 

tldr; Should not have been released before Jackson rotated.

I agree. They should've put this on the MWL Tier 3 until rotation. After rotation, MWL Tier 1 should be sufficient. As 1 influence is far too low.

There's different tiers now on the MWL? Sorry, I've been out of the loop for awhile now Python, the Stimhack community got too toxic and the online meta too boring.

Off-Topic: I can only recommend to play Netrunner at the kitchen table with like-minded friends. I tried playing online, but the meta really is cancerous.

Off topic continued: Oh no, don't worry I still play a small cardpool casually with my brother and my friends a ton, it's just that I haven't been following the competitive meta.
