This card is for Shapers. I think this card is Anarch because it would be too powerfull for Shapers to get it for free. This card is in particular useful early game, to install expensive programs i.e. Torch or Femme Fatale: Trash the expensive program in your discard phase, and next round Retrieval Run.
Alternative combo could include Test Run and Scavenge: Play Test Run with Torch. Scavenge by trashing Torch, and finally Retrieval Run to get Torch back. This is 3 clicks and 6 credits to get two programs worth up to 18 credits in total.
I am not quite sure how the Test Run "if it is still installed" plays together with trash and reinstall? Worst case you'll have to play the combo over two turns.
Test Run + (expensive program) + Scavenge works on its own. Trash Torch as the Scavenge additional cost, then it is in your heap and you can install it again with Scavenge effect. It doesn't leave the rig afterward, since installation from Scavenge overloads the one from Test Run.

With test run, femme, scavenge, and retrieval run in hand, you can test run for torch, scavenge torch for femme, and retrieval torch... or (with apologies for snark) for that matter you can just trust that your opponent will put ice 3 deep on R&D but be unable or unwilling to rez any of it so you can code siphon twice and then Lawyer up... cause that would also get programs installed cheaply but in a way that is unlikely to be successful on a regular basis.
