Why is it a ridiculous thing on the banned list ? Genuinely curious <| sep |> I ' ve played this id a bit but played against it quite a lot . I have lots of thoughts but I ' m going to focus on it ' s primary weakness . 4 credit discount wow , that ' s a lot ! Nobody except NBN gets 4 credit anything for free , but this isn ' t NBN so there ' s a catch right ? It ' s because it ' s actually really easy as a runner to avoid the trigger from this card , and it ' s because of the way you build out ice . Ice gets deployed on the outermost layer of your servers , so and especially so for your first piece of ice you don ' t get the benefit for your first ice rezzed . Additionally once the ice is rezzed the runner has to pass the card in order to trigger the ability . This means if you Rez a barrier or a viktor the runner can choose to bounce and deny you the credits this can be especially painful early game . So as a runner you just choose to run servers that are open to attack until the ice on the outside gets rezzed . If there ' s rezzed ice , you say f it and go run somewhere else that the corp has an outer layer of unrezzed ice . As the corp you ' re now choosing between forfeiting accesses or paying the 4 c . And the same thing is true with the second layer of ice , and the third etc . Sure you could let the runner pass and trigger the ability on the second ice , but you put that additional layer of ice there for a reason and if you ' re forfeiting accesses for a 4 c discount that better be because you ' re bluffing something important . So that ' s the ultimate contradiction of this card , and why I ' m going to rate it tier 3 probably but tier 2 at best . The ability only ever triggers when the runner wants it to , and if then it ' s probably because they ' re getting a vital access that you shouldn ' t let them .
