If your deck is running 5/3 agendas, then I think the current meta makes this an Auto-include for several reasons. First, it 100% cancels the runner's alternate win condition (see my post on the Noise: Hacker Extraordinaire page). Secondly, it works every single turn. With Anarchs having so many ways to trash cards, a steady flow of recursion (and the occasional R&D shuffle) will mitigate the loss of key cards and help keep other big agendas safe. Additionally, its ability is OPTIONAL. You don't have to use it. Lastly, not only does it protect you from the Runner's destructiveness, it also protects you from your own; cards like Accelerated Beta Test and Power Shutdown love Hades Fragment.

The card seems to prefer being in Jinteki a little more than Weyland. Haas-Bioroid recursion actually benefits from having cards in archives, but bring back those recursion cards is really great. NBN is probably the worst fit as it tends to avoid big agendas like these and has Jackson Howard in faction anyways. Jinteki trap decks...yeah. Increasing the trap density in Archives, while putting Snare! back in R&D can get brutal. Weyland: did your first two Scorched Earth not land? No problem. Did you run out of Oversight AI? No problem. It's one of those cards where scoring it early put you WAY ahead.

Pyjam has a really cool point regarding Executive Boot Camp. I suspect we'll see some interesting possibilities develop in the future with this card.

Fun fact: The current timing structure of turns does not permit Noise to win by card mill against a Corp with a scored Hades Fragment. According to the current timing structure of turns, "When turn begins" conditional abilities trigger on step 1.2 of the Corp's draw phase. The Corp's mandatory draw occurs at 1.3. Furthermore, other than scoring 7+ agendas, Page 3 of the rulebook states that "...the Runner wins if the Corporation must draw a card from his empty draw deck." Therefore, forcing the corp to trash a card from an empty R&D does not currently satisfy the Runner's alternate win condition. However, a well-timed Eden Shard WILL.

REACTION First of all, Sub Boost is just great on bioroid ice - especially Eli 1.0. Of all the non-barrier ice, broiled is probably where this goes; however, the "Host ice gains barrier" drawback means Corroder gets that much more efficient for the runner, so I'm not looking to install Sub Boost on things like Neural Katana or cost=strength ice like Data Raven.

OPPORTUNITIES Instead check out some interesting interactions that take place on existing barrier ice. Sub Boost adds stability to the disappearing subroutines on Hive which should be on the board long enough to get Sub Boost installed. Snowflake magically becomes a very odd piece of ice to encounter, and if TMI was worth the risk to rez, then why not beef it up.

ALTERNATIVES The best candidates outside of bioroid and barrier ice are those with uniquely efficient traits: Hunter for its large strength/rez cost ratio or Architect because it can't be trashed. Changeling might require an FAQ update at some point.

I have a feeling this card will get lots of "meh", because of the influence and for it having to take up a card slot, but not from me. True, I suspect this will stay for the most part in Weyland, but what can you bring in? Splashing for Lotus Field just got that much sweeter. Being able to put Architect out of Mimic range is some pretty serious business. Rototurret won't vaporize to Parasite and Enigma can finally get one over on Yog.0. All of this at 0 cost ...yeah...this card is not "meh"
