Suggested combos:
In return for that, you've put two resources in your deck that are good in concert with each other, and lackluster on their own. (NACH I've looked at considering the skies are filled with Weyland Orbital Nukes, but it trashes itself right when you'd need it most: when you've made a successful run and stolen an agenda.)
So, this card will only be good when there are real reasons for Bad Publicity to work to your advantage. Raymond Flint, for example, or the upcoming Blackmail, and hopefully more besides. Using your Bad Pub only for $1 per run is like...clicking for money or clicking for cards. It's the baseline, default, least efficient use of your time. Call me when the game is worth the candle.
However, if you have the kind of deck that focuses on one good run each turn, then that BP is going to take a long time to be worth the trouble you went to to stick it.
Good thing blackmail is coming out in the next data pack, which means the card won't stay just a bookmark for too long.
You must replace all monitary gain through research resource cards with hardware
ANSWER: Magnum Opus and events like Easy Mark.
You have just been given a better version of Desperado. What console should you use to maximize this?
ANSWER: Doppelganger (with a successful run you make make another run netting you two per click)
Doppelganger lets you attack frequently but that won't be worth it without attacking the central servers. How to maximize this fact?
ANSWER: Medium, Data Leak Reversal, Sneakdoor Beta and other programs that maximize your card draw from R&D and HQ
(Opening hand is Activist Support, Medium and Doppelganger and they don't protect the R&D well?
Turn 1
1. AS 2. Doppelganger 3. Credit 4. Credit
Turn 2
1. Medium 2. Access two cards plus two credits 3. access four cards plus two credits 4. access six cards plus two credits
Demolition Run to trash whole hands and stuff.
You have an option if you would rather run as Criminal or Anarchy.
Regardless, your going big or going home. Run Kraken. And Plascrete Carapace.
I'm not sure if you're leaving out actions in your post or are just playing medium and doppleganger wrong but if you can explain how on the same turn that you installed medium you're accessing 6 cards (and gaining 2 credits per run) I'd be very interested. And of course there is nothing that prevents the corp from trashing Activist Support on their turn and never even getting the BP
Probably not terribly worth the BP just for running purposes but with NAPD everywhere this could be a pretty decent way to choke those a bit, if your deck is already otherwise suited to having tags.
If there were a Runner event that cost 1 and said "At the start of the Corp's next turn they lose 2 [Credits] and 1 [Click]" would you play it?
"...and give yourself 1 tag." An important consideration.
