So you save 2$ on the tag removal (assuming you remove 2 tags), and get a bonus draw 3. Super efficient. Even if you only have 1 tag to remove it's essentially the same as removing a tag like normal then playing a Diesel. (one click + 2$ to remove a tag is the standard; one click + a card from your hand to draw 3 is a Diesel) As far as event tag removal goes I like it much, much more than Networking.

Siphon -> Lawyer Up seems like fun. It's also really cool thematically: you steal all the corp's money and then hire an awesome lawyer to get away scot-free.

I like the fact that you get Networking and Diesel (sort of) in one card, saving both deckspace and influence.

Consider: this is the first card printed that allows you to pay credits to remove tags. As written, this would allow you to spend the credits Crash Space to pay for playing Lawyer Up. A sort-of neat combo

I wonder if it will actually work that way. You're not using Crash Space to remove tags, in this scenario, you're using it to play an event, whose effect removes tags. It might work, but I'd be a little surprised if it gets past the rules lawyers.

You can't use crash space to play this but you can use prepaid VOICEpad.

Yeah, sorry to be that rules lawyer, but Frybender is right. Just like you can't spend Simone Diego credits to pay for Matrix Analyzer advancements, you can't use Crash Space to play an Event.

Seems like it's only useful against Tag&Bag-decks. If you're not getting tagged, you might as well just draw 2 cards and surrender the third for the 2 credits you get to keep.

I do this in my Express PPVP deck, running x2 Lawyer Up. It's not a tag me deck, and prefers to shake tags immediately with Crash Space credits or Lawyer Up, depending on scenario. The PPVP's offset the $$$ for Lawyer Up, and the card draw is also nice as the deck otherwise relies on John Massanori for a trickle of cards.

An ideal turn goes something like Security Testing, Account Siphon, Lawyer Up. Same Old Thing -> Account Siphon, Lawyer Up works ok too, if need be.

I haven't liked this card in other criminal decks, but the PPVP support in my Express deck makes it a lot more attractive.
