Note that this card can trigger multiple times per turn, which means one can RLC 2 times+Biotic Labor to have 5 clicks in hand, then install an agenda with Bioroid Work Crew or just click Bass, advance 3 times, gain click, and advance another 3 times. That's 6 adv for 1 turn, and 5 adv if Biotic Labor is replaced by something like Subliminal Messaging or another RLC. That's better and more flexible for rush Haas decks compared with Big Deal.
For Esa milling decks this will be a good enco card, at least 3 Часту́шка and 3 Running Hot will trigger this card's ability, and some other econ cards' cost will be lowered as well. So this is at least a Wildcat Strike and at most a Stimhack, though unique. In other decks this seems bad compared to Prepaid VoicePAD and Mystic Maemi. 3.5/5
Yeah, but in this case I'll choose to play Dirty Laundry in this turn and Sure Gamle in the following 2 turns. And as this card costs 3 inf, it's unlikely to be added to other faction like Tenma decks, so having 3 or more events to play 1 turn won't happen in 90% cases, I reckon. Admittedly, these 2 cards cannot be compared strictly, but I think in most decks with id not Esa PPVP will be better.
— ccxkrish1921I mean, there are also Lat + Aniccam decks that play like 20+ events and typically use PPVP to try to generate a massive amount of money for Khusyuk and Deep Dive and so on. I could imagine that this effect would make those decks even richer, since it will stack with PPVP effectively. But also like, the core damage is pretty bad for Lat. So maybe not the right fit.

I think it's not strictly comparable to PPVP and Maemi because this is not giving you a drop of one credit per turn, it's reducing the cost of every event. So if you play 2 sure gambles and a dirty laundry this card is earning you three credits in your turn compared to the one offered by PPVP.
