Oh, it's the first neural upgrade... ever! The card itself is nice, but putting icebreakers into heap would be better.
Icebreakers in heap are easily retrieved with Clone Chip/Scavenge/Deja Vu/Test Run.
Icebreakers in the stack are most easily retrieved using Special Order/Self-Modifying Code/Test Run, but chances are you ALREADY used some of those getting the breaker out to begin with.
Pretty sure this hits harder.
I'm using three of these in a Replicating Perfection glacier deck, and they have been pretty awesome.
The four to rez is not an impediment as I'm used to keeping at least $4 on hand to pop a Snare, and also holding back $4 can make the runner player jump to the conclusion that I am threatening a Snare while the Will O Wisp sits there looking like a Caprise or Ash.
Every time I land this, it buys me at least part of a turn and often more. It often trips the game from phase 1 to phase 2, or resets a phase 3 back to a phase 2 while the runner tries to tutor up their breaker again.
The only downside for me is the 1 trash cost making R&D porous. Otherwise, very solid card.
