Can anybody see how this is viable in Anarch?

 

"Hello, my name is Noise/Reina/Quetzal/Whizzard. I don't have any memory available, what with all the viruses and Caissa here, there, and everywhere, but I'll ditch more to get another card in my hand."

 

An awfully big splash for Andromeda too: any speculative uses so far?

I agree. Anarch has Grimoire or Deep Red. Plus Djinn.
Three Origamis on a Djinn is ridiculous: trade MU for hand size.

Two on a Leprechaun can be considered. But I won't play this.

 

Duggar maybe? With Crypsis, because not much MU left.

A big hand deck with Retrieval Run, Same Old Song, Clone Chip, Déjà Vu.

 

Three Origamis in play can make you survive two scorched earth.

Plascrete is better.

OK, yeah, Duggar's, which I think is a more useful a combo than initially appears:

 

Am I reading this correctly?

 

"Your maximum hand size is increased by 1 for each copy of Origami installed."

 

I.e. 3 copies of Origami = 9 more cards in hand (so a limit of 14), not 3 more in hand (which would read "Your maximum hand size is increased by 1").

 

It's origami; it multiplies as it folds.

That's it. Given a solution is found to support the cost of MU (Djinn, Leprechaun), the big hand could provide:

- a lot of credits with freelance coding contract.
- a lot of programs with Mass Install

 

Plus I'll add Scavenge to the list of useful recur stuff

That's my understanding of how it works, but I'm not sure if there has been any official confirmation. The wording could be a little better to be sure.

I'm pretty sure that Meadbeard is correct.

Just saw the spoiler for Ekomind. This card makes more sense in that context.
