Which is better? Conduit or Devadatta Drone?

If you want to be able to pressure the corp from multiple direction, using Beatriz Friere Gonzalez and Eru Ayase-Pessoa, then Devadatta Drone is better.

If you want to stack multiple effect of multiaccess, with multiple Devadatta Drone, Jailbreak, Mercury: Chrome Libertador, “Pretty” Mary da Silva and even Conduit, then Devadatta Drone is better.

If you want to use up programs to have a reason to cycle then in and out, for Dewi Subrotoputri: Pedagogical Dhalang, Spec Work or “Knickknack” O’Brian, then Devadatta Drone.

If you want a cheap R&Do multiaccess out of faction, with 1 influence and 1, then Devadatta Drone is better.

But, if you want an "Hail Mary" R&D multiaccess, check Finality.

If you want the best and most widely usable multiaccess card, check The Twinning

Or if you want to save card slots and have only one card in your deck for R&D multiaccess, then Conduit is better, followed closely by Stargate, with WAKE Implant v2A-JRJ further behind.

The fact that Devadatta Drone can be charges with Orca, Captain Padma Isbister: Intrepid Explorer and Stoneship Chart Room is cool, but you'll have better charge targets usually (Dr. Nuka Vrolyck for example).

Devadatta Drone is good, but it faces lots of competition. Unless Transport Monopoly becomes prevalent, the rotation of Crisium Grid has lowered the appeal of effect that do not need a run to be successful to trigger. This used to be a consideration.

The art is fun, evoking the name of the card. The quote goes with the name and evoke the effect of the card. I like bees. Good design.

It's a nearprint of Nyashia, costing one credit less but starting with one less power counter. Nothing more, nothing less.

Synergies:

• Can be used alongside Cataloguer if you see two agendas with it and want to snatch both.
• Makes charging up Amelia Earhart possible if used alongside another card for R&D Multiaccess like “Pretty” Mary da Silva.
• Can be charged by Captain Padma Isbister: Intrepid Explorer, Stoneship Chart Room, Rigging Up or Orca. Though if you want to keep hammering R&D, you're likely better off using good old Conduit.
