Finally I can get a cheap barrier other than ICE Wall. Yeah, it'll break to any breaker, but once they've got something that can break it, it was a one-credit tax and little more anyway. It gets itself out of the way for new ICE.

Breaking with Crypsis is the one time this would be nice to keep around, as he'd have to recharge his virus token, but Crypsis has become less popular lately anyway.

I completely agree. Cheap Ice can make a good build for a lot of reasons. Counters R&D or HQ digs, an unrezzed ice might give the runner pause, Security Subcontract, etc. Plus, with the upcoming Caissa decks, an ice that self trashes is not bad at all, especially with runners who don't use breakers and rely on trashing or bypassing effects. It's an effective counter to Running Interference and other Criminal shenanigans. One might call this ice situational, but there are many situations for it.
0 cost ETR ice is also great for when the Runner assumes you can't rez that last piece of ice, so hasn't prepared for it.
This is the only 0 cost ice that requires a breaker to get through. What I want to see now is a 0 cost illicit ice that does something cool to surprise the runner.

Am I the only one who thinks this would be completely balanced at 0 strength and without the trash clause? I think there should also be similar sentry and code gate, all 0 rez 0 strength (with no trash).

0 cost 0 strength etr of any type would be extremely strong and auto 3x in almost any corp deck if it were neutral. So, I disagree that it would be balanced.
At first I thought it was lame. But now I think it has some pretty nice uses. Early game it's pretty good.

And now they're printing Vanilla in The Liberated Mind, the fifth Data Pack in the Mumbad Cycle: 0 rez, 0 str, ETR without trash, even without influence.
