TL;DR: A draw card for setup decks. Especially potent with setup.


Credit > Draw. Therefore all following analysis assumes that only draw option is chosen:

  1. With a normal 4 click turn, there is 3 clicks to install things. Which equates to 3 cards, Diesel gives 3 cards upfront and does not need any further combination.
  2. Hyperdriver turn, 6 clicks to install things. 6 cards, quite good.
  3. Simulchip, Self-modifying Code, Street Peddler, Gachapon can all trigger this for an explosive turn.

In conclusion, it's good for setup decks where they install a lot. It's almost a good as a 4th Diesel there, and can be more. Also, just like other draw events like Diesel, this card is at odds with the Professional Contacts engine.

Paule's Café also triggers this!

You wrote "Credit > Draw", but you talk about it like Draw is better. (And I think it usually is.) Did you mean to write "Credit < Draw"?
