This card's strength has been significantly increased with the release of Team Sponsorship. Being able to add another 3 cards to your deck besides Jackson Howard that essentially nullify the downside of firing ABT is really incredible. This card's power level has always depended largely on the available card pool (Jackson Howard makes it safe to fire) and board state (knowing your ICE to agenda ratio in R&D is crucial), and the addition of Team Sponsorship to the card pool has really pumped up the effectiveness of ABT.
To add to this: if I recall correctly, because Team Sponsorship and ABT have abilities that trigger at the same time, the corp can select which triggers fire first. So, the corp can score ABT, and reinstall any juicy agendas in the newly opened scoring server.
