A local player convinced me to slot two of these in my current Shaper deck, and despite the hefty influence cost, it's proven to be worth it.

It's a single-use "let me get through this ice" resource, which gives you a huge amount of threat power. It plays out a bit like a reverse Nisei MK II, weirdly enough!

In particular, blowing this up in the middle of a Marathon still lets you claim the click from finishing your run, since Logic Bomb clears during and Marathon rewards you at the end.

Getting it out early, along with something like Laamb, makes the Corp very very sad. And really, isn't that our goal as Runners?

To the poor confused new players trying to figure out how this card works : Yes, it is a bypass effect, so it gets three damage from Anasai and can't pass Guard. However, unlike most other bypass effects in the game (eg inside job), this bypass ability ALLOWS ON ENCOUNTER ABILITIES TO FIRE. I'm talking tags from Data Raven, money on TollBooth, the WORKS. This is due to a technicality on the card which reads, "currently encountering". EG, you have to already have encountered the ICE to use logic bomb. This is also true of Demara, Lustig, and the other trash bypass crim ICE, I forgot what it's called.
