Eve lies on the extreme of a long curve of economy cards. Her net profit is 11. That's a totally absurd amount of money for a card and a click. Her drawbacks are equally huge. Assuming you rez her at the end of the runner's turn, you still have to wait through two more of their turns before she's even turning a profit. That's a huge delayed reaction that will put short term pressure on your economy, quite apart from the fact that any halfway decent runner will be looking to trash Eve as a high priority. Eve's high trash cost makes her a punishing tax on the runner in a naked remote, but that's offset by her equally high rez cost. In a scoring remote she's pretty much invincible, but her frustratingly slow pay-off means you run the risk of building up agendas in hand while she does her beautiful financial magic. Sometimes it's the right answer to trash eve in favour of an agenda. The more money you pass up to do this, the more it telegraphs to the runner that they should be looking to check out your remote.

She works super well with Breaker Bay Grid. —

The Cerberus breakers are weird, in that they look like a suite but they really aren't worth the influence to play as one. Lady is a badass, but Rex and Cuj.0 can only really be considered in their own faction. Taken in that light, Rex is actually a pretty good addition to the criminal breaker suite. If influence is tight, Rex alongside Passport can act as a not-too-awful Decoder solution. Passport does the heavy lifting on centrals, Rex steps in when there's a remote to be cracked.

I think the key thing to notice here is that card draw is strong in the right circumstances. Certainly 1 card > 1 Credit most of the time. The credit option ensures that you're never forced to over-draw. In any case, I think this will be best in decks that can leverage draw. I can see it as an outermost piece of Ice in Cerebral Imaging, for instance. Apart from that, it's in faction with re-use and could potentially be helpful in any deck that finds itself playing down to a small handsize. It also has mild synergy with Jackson, which is never a bad thing.

The comparison with Caduceus is important, because it nullifies what would be the other argument for this Ice, which is that it's cheap and taxing. Caduceus is probably better unless a) You really like the draw or b) Link becomes prevalent in your meta. That said, it costs an extra credit to break with Mimic, which isn't nothing.

Over all, I probably agree that this is second tier Ice, but I'd love to be wrong.

Okay, I'm going to make the obvious comment, in the hope that someone will have an excellent argument to prove me wrong.

This is just worse than Eli. It costs more, and it's not as strong. Sure if you hit it without clicks it's slightly harsher but even against HB few runners will be running unrezzed ice last click, especially now architect is out.

I guess that it definitely costs a click to hit, whereas you can just bounce off Eli. Nonetheless, I can't see that advantage swaying too many people.

I'll make the less obvious comment, it's also worse than Hakarl.
