So stuff this is good with:
- Sure Gamble as in "Wow, that's as good as Data Dealer!" Probably more of a bonus than anything else though.
- Account Siphon because it's the game's best event.
- High-Stakes Job probably not as strong as the other two, the biggest 'normal' event you can discount and situationally powerfull.
- The Price of Freedom just play it from the heap with a fan site so that the Corp can't score until you can play...
- Bribery to gaurantee that the corp can't rez the first peice of unrezzed ice (you could also try Running Interference). And if the ice is already rezzed...
- Brute-Force-Hack will get it derezzed again for the measly price of one of your precious agandae.
If there are any other notable cards I'll add them to the list. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that Fisk Investment Seminar works, otherwise that might be a legitimate mill strategy.
(Terminal Directive Cards era)
The price of freedom cannot be used the way you describe it as it gets removed from the game instead of being trashed after it resolves. Bribery just has X = 0, so it gives nothing.

Good point on Freedom, I'll edit the review. If X=0 for the other two, then that definitely makes me sad.

The first event that comes to mind with this card is Apocalypse. You still have to get in to all the centrals, but recurring Apoc (with something like Fan Site) could be very powerful

Yeah, I played against someone who used this with Apoc. It was a sweet deck. I made my own and (I think) improved on it. Also, Day Job is great with The Shadow Net. Turn your Fan Sites into 8 credits in one click.

Actually you get 10 credits with it.

Does the play restriction ("play only if you made a successful run ...") count as a cost? It's not phrased in the form of "as an additional cost" or something like that but as a limitation on play rather than a price to pay.

"Play only if you made a succesful run ..." is not a cost. Card costs include the credit number in the top left of the card, plus any text that reads "as an additional cost".
