From a mechanical perspective, this card is pretty good. paying 1 credit to gain 8 credits off of an unprotected server is nice, but I wouldn't play 3 because some corps don't play unprotected assets. However, from a flavorful perspective, this card is a lot more clever.

In canon lore, the events of the Revised Core Set take place 5 years after the original. All the players are up to their same tricks, but subtle things have changed. Compare to the original Bank Job. The art depicts a young Gabriel Santiago counting money after a successful Bank Job. The alternate art is even more insightful; it shows us the job was a real, physical heist. Imagine the opening scene of The Dark Knight, or one of the jobs from Payday. Big, flashy, and violent.

The new Bank Job is different. Gabe's gotten a wee bit older, and he can't wear clown masks or carry duffle bags without getting a bit winded. So he changes his approach. Being the charmer that he is, Santiago doesn't knock over some branch bank or a credit depository in broad daylight with some armed goons. No, Gabe's been in a few scrapes with the law, and doesn't want to draw any more heat to him. Instead, he does the unthinkable. He gets a job at Titan Transitional, the biggest banking institution in the worlds. Better yet, he impersonates some Titan exec while he pretends to be a good little drone. He makes deals with clients, eats lunch in India, and then disappears without a trace. Well, one trace: 500,000 missing Titan credits and one frightened employee dropped off on a street curb.

This card perfectly embodies the transition caused by The Revised Core set: Runners still run, corps still corp, just in a little different way. At first Santiago operated like Neil McCauley, now, he's Danny Ocean.

(Core set only perspective)

In a faction that is already quite flush under normal circumstances, this gives Gabe yet another way to make piles of money and then feel smug as he uses better breakers from Anarch. But is also has another benefit I didn't appreciate at first - threat. First things first...

Mad Dollar, you say?

In a game where making 3 or 4 is generally a damned fine deal, the net 7 you can gain from this is huge. Just to put the amount of money into perspective, this card will give you:

The same as a Hostile Takeover without any recurring penalty.

The same as a Melange Mining Corp. for only 1 click.

Only 2 less than Stimhack, without the brain damage.

3 more than the universally cherished Sure Gamble, with a much lower cost to entry.

Now for that second benefit...

Exposed assets, you say?

When a game is close, the Corp. and runner don't have that many credits between them. This can make every run count, and therefore can make trashing Corp. assets Iike PADs and sexy manbots a tough call, because you might leave yourself unequipped for stealing agendas when they inevitably appear. As a result the Corp. will sometimes feel confident enough to leave them out in the open, smug and convinced you don't have the clout to tackle both.

'We'll see about that', you think, and install this as you loosen the cuffs on your tux. Suddenly those exposed assets have just given the runner one of the best economic boosts in the Core Set. Considering their rez costs, net 7 is 8 turns' worth of PAD Campaign, 3 turns' worth of Adonis, and the best part is you can then run again and trash them far more comfortably, with the same money they've just given you. 'Bet you wish you'd protected them now, eh buddy?' You'll then think, and then they will, if only to lessen the sheer number of Benjamins you'll be scooping for their arrogance otherwise.

Nothing yells naked remote hate more than this card. It is best used after a naked install for a 3.5 x 2 investment (probably the best click to credit ratio barring Sure Gamble, Luck Find and loaded Gorman Drip v1). I don't know if I'd install it early, if only to not give away your secrets.

Clearly will not have as much use in a Biotic Labor deck.

This is half the reason why Criminal runners are so rich (the other half is made up of Account Siphon, Desperado and Security Testing, but I digress). Try to always leave a single credit on the Bank Job, in case you ever need to avoid accessing cards (eg. Whirlpool into a Snare or some nonsense).
