Its ability allows you not to play many ices (15 may be enough) given you fetch them, which leaves space for asset economy and operations.

 

Eliza, BER and Oversight AI support really well (rez an archer, fetch another one, install it.)

Ices have to be 3-offs to optimize it. Three options are possible:

 - a NEXT / Grail suite

 - a toolbox to adapt to opponent (Swordsman etc...)

 - Half early game (Quandary, Eli), half big (Janus, Archer...)

 

Pros: Adding a non-agenda card to HQ during a run is great to protect access to agendas

 

Cons:

- Fetching an ice + mandatory draw creates big HQ that can be flooded with agendas. So Jackson is the man.

- Fetching an ice increases agenda density in R&D. A 10-to-12-agenda-build looks risky.

So do not play many agendas with this (7 x 5/3 seem OK).

I'm waiting for a few more pieces to enter the card pool before taking a swing at this ID. But, very excited by the possibilities on the horizon.

Can you use this on every player's turn? (assuming you manage to rez ice on your turn)

Yes. Accelerated Beta Test, Priority Requisition, Executive Boot Camp, Amazon Industrial Zone, and Eliza's Toybox are five ways to trigger it on your turn. Some are more practical than others.
