This card has an awful lot of things going for it.
- It's an upgrade, so you don't need a special server protecting it. Just have him hang out in HQ or R&D or wherever.
- He costs 5 to trash, so you can sort of just leave him around until the runner drops below 6.
- While he's active, he's insane. Removing the costs kicks the efficiency of most things into superland. to gain 15 from a Restructure? Yes please! Even the humble Hedge Fund is a click for 9.
- You don't even have to have him out - if you see the runner get low on credits, you can just install him, rez, and click twice.
- The part where you can ignore the costs also includes the extra clicks for Double operations.
- He can help you out on the Current war, by letting you replay your Paywall Implementations. (Although I believe it would still be removed from the game whenever it finally got trashed. And he obviously can't help you much if the current you want to get rid of is a Rumor Mill...)
- He's a transparent reference to Neil Patrick Harris's character on How I Met Your Mother.
I don't know yet what decks will end up running this yet - 3 influence is a lot to splash into other factions, and Weyland's decks are in a bit of a state of flux, as of this writing. (End of Flashpoint cycle.) There are a lot of neat toys on the horizon for Weyland though, between Terminal Directive and the upcoming Red Sand cycle. So if any Weyland decks take shape that can leverage unreasonable amounts of money, I fully expect Bryan to be part of that.
