First, let all agree that the art is great and evocative. I don't know if a quote could be used here (although I always prefers when there is one).
Parasite is the better version of Trypano and Chisel. It give yet another ice destruction card to anarch. But the great thing about Parasite is the influence cost. Now, you can easily splash it in criminal and shaper to get some ice destruction.
Shaper are the winner in this. Using Simulchip, they can put #parasite and get rid of an ice, then bring it back again to get rid of another ice, using Simulchip. And with tools like Harmony AR Therapy, this would be a great card to bring back, along with Simulchip, to do the combo again. Now, the ice destruction archetype is not limited to anarch anymore, Shaper can use it too (and maybe better than anarch).
The only real counter to this is Macrophage and Magnet. Of the two, Macrophage would be the best.
It is nice to give Shaper, an underpowered faction, a tool to try a different archetype. Fun time ahead.
