Pros
- Successful runs and drawing cards might just be the two best things the runner can spend a on, so getting both for one is amazingly good click compression
- At 2 rez cost, he only takes about 3 successful runs to break even on installing
Cons
- Having to pay to remove a tag after an unsuccessful run is very undesirable, so he is best in decks that:
- can be fairly sure runs will be successful by quite early in the game
- and/or won't care too much about being tagged
- won't do much as much in decks that only make occasional, high-impact runs
Notable Interactions
- combines well with Desperado and Datasucker to get incredible value for a run
- also nice with Security Testing and Gabe
- can be used to deliberately self-tag by running a simple 'end the run' barrier, in order to use a card like Data Leak Reversal that the runner must be tagged for
- dangerous to use in the same deck as expensive resources like Professional Contacts as these add extra danger to getting tagged
Final Thoughts
- a good supplemental draw option in decks that have no long-term/high-value resources, ignore tags, and rely on Plascrete Carapace to protect from meat damage

Would Jesminder Sareen: Girl Behind the Curtain 's ability have an effect here? It does sound like this effect takes place "after" the run, not during ... otherwise it would be a great synergy

The timing structure of a run says that the run ends and is then considered unsuccessful. So I guess Jesminder does not work with this.
