This card is amazing. I've been comboing it with News Hound in my Titan deck for some brutal rushes.

At 0 influence how can you say no to this card? Put three in your deck and throw it down asap to ruin the runner's day. For most runners playing against this is like being thrown into a tar pit, but if you're playing a really resource heavy runner then you may as well flip the table over and walk away sobbing. Nothing is more deliciously evil than playing this on turn 1 and watching the runner panic if they can't get rid of it.

What a great card for crushing runner econ. Combined with the also new Financial Collapse the corp has a serious mad on for killing resources.

This is going to put in a big push for event and click based econ.
