Econ for the glacier decks

Pros:

• Low play cost. If you spent all of your credits rezzing ice during the runner's turn, you only need to click for 1 credit before being able to play this
• Low influence cost. 1 Influence makes it more attractive to import into high ice builds.

Cons:

• Weak during early game. You'll get more bang for you buck playing this card during mid- to late game.

Overall, this is a great econ option for HB glacier builds. Weyland glacier may want to consider importing it in. Fast advance builds and Jinkteki low-ice builds want to skip it.

The original counter to Scorched Earth.

PROS:

• Prevents up to 3 meat damage
• Recurring credits to remove tags helps stretch the credits gained from Account Siphon

CONS:

• Can only prevent up to 3 meat damage. You're still going to slightly singed from Scorched Earth
• To prevent the damage, you need to trash it. So you need to think long and hard whether its worth trashing over 1 meat damage or keep in reserve for Scorched Earth.
• While the influence isn't back-breaking, non-criminals will hesitate to include this card when so other out-of-faction cards are begging to be included

Overall, criminals should give serious consideration to this card over Plascrete Carapace, especially if Account Siphon is a major part of their strategy. Non-criminals are probably better off sticking to Plascrete Carapace
