This card has 3 foreseeable purposes:
MIGHT be useful in Chronos Protocol: Selective Mind-mapping, as a way to get net damage off without the runner having to run or baiting runs for Neural EMP. Though I'm honestly not sure if it will be worth it.
Helping flatline decks get that 1 point of extra oomph to go along with their Ronin and Punitive Counterstrike and Neural EMP. It's basically a mini-ronin for that purpose. Not bad.
Being F**KING DISGUSTING SATAN'S THONG BULGE INFURIATING IN Industrial Genomics: Growing Solutions. For real, this whole cycle of cards is fondling IG's balls ever so lovingly, but this one is just insane. With Hostile Infrastructure on the board and IG doing IG things, you crush the runners tempo almost no matter what. Their choices are "take a net damage EVERY TURN" or "spend 8 credits and take another net damage now". It's a major lose/lose for the runner. Yeah, it could do some work in RP, but it'll have to wait until IG is done making out with it in the back room. Oh god......so much tongue.....
