This card is exactly what Weyland needed. A thug ith a baseball bat smashing the runner's fingers saying, "No!" after they trash your Multibillion credit mining industry. Seriously, this card is great. Punishment has always been a concept trodden lightly upon, but never really explored. We got Hellion Beta Test in Flashpoint, which was a good start, but I think this card is even better.

Pros:

costs a mere 1 credit to use

Does not rely on tags or other prerequisites other than a trashed card, which is very easy to arrange

Does not give Bad Publicity or require a successful trace like Hellion Beta Test

Can cause a chain reaction effect if used to destroy memory giving consoles. Additionally, many runners throw away their extra copies after they've found one, this could make that a painful mistake

Multiple copies can utterly destroy a runner's boardstate. Taking the hit from one copy leaves the open for punishment by another

Cons

Removes itself from the game, but I doubt you'd need to recur it

Nullified by Sacrificial Construct

4 meat damage seems like a huge setback, but some runners would rather take the hit and can even benefit them if they are running I've Had Worse or Clan Vengeance

Overall I think this is an excellently designed card that will find its way into many Weyland decks running high-priority assets or upgrades

I was a big fan of this card for a long time, but having played it a lot recently I think I have come around to think it is too fair to be good. By this I mean that there are so many conditions attached to it that make it a less-than-effective card. These include:

• Runner needing to have trashed a card of yours last turn
• It can only hit non-virtual resources (mostly fine, you want this to hit Hardware)
• Choice between trashing the card or taking 4 meat
• It RFGs from the game

Combined, they present a critical mass of things that can go awry. Props to Bridgeman for finding the right meta and decklist to make it shine nonetheless. But I think it is too fair a card to be really strong. Still cool tho. :)

This is the king of value meat damage. For $1 and a click, you can destroy an important runner card (usually an early resource or a console) or inflict 4 meat damage. Pretty much every runner has a console or important resources so you'll probably have a high-value target early.

Even if your best target is a mere Daily Casts, Wake Up Call denies $6-8 in eventual income or 4 random cards from hand. That's arguably a bigger setback for the runner than Economic Warfare, which is also very playable. (It does not however have Economic Warfare's crazy immediate value on a HHN turn).

Tactics: Since Endurance has been banned, I'm less worried about getting wrecked by a console, and I'd generally prioritize "hit a good target as soon as possible" rather than waiting for the best possible target. (Most installed cards generate value-over-time, and the earlier you strike, the more value is denied. Meat damage also hits harder earlier). Personally, post-Endurance I tend to prefer economic hits over consoles, because a runner usually has redundant copies of their console in-deck whereas something like a Daily Cast is a value hit whether or not they have another Daily Cast on hand.
