The more different pieces of ICE there will be, the harder it will probably become to use Copycat successfully, but I think that it mostly depends on your opponent. NBN usually has 3 copies of at least 2 pieces of ICE (Data Raven and Pop-up Window), and Weyland always has at least 3 Ice Wall. This being said, however, 3 copies are probably one too many, just added 3 since I definitely wanted to try it out. Not so fond of Hostage, though, I still prefer to have more copies of the Resources, rather than one event I need to have to get the single copy of Kati Jones or Professional Contacts. Mostly because if they trash that single copy it's quite a tragedy, I guess. |

"Not so fond of Hostage, though, I still prefer to have more copies of the Resources" But this can be a problem if you don't have enough influence. For example in this deck it's hard to fit more than one Prof.Contact.... |
I think copycat has a lot of potential and a lot of "nope. Dead card. Wish I had anything else" I thought about a shaper "Escher" deck but your opponent has to have two of the same ice rezzed and they have to be in the right spot. If you can Escher into a pop up window or other cheap ice by itself and its twin as the last ice on R&D or HQ it's gold...for one run. Then the corp likely trashes the ice by installing another. All that work for a couple good runs at best. I don't see copycat being worth the effort right now. I'm always willing to be proven wrong though. :)
