If you are playing Daily Casts in your Criminal Deck right now, consider giving Tapwrm a try instead. Tapwrm can earn you much more in credits than Daily Casts, and it puts pressure on the Corp to either keep its credit count low or spend time purging. It also has a lower up-front cost than Daily Casts.

This card is most effective when you are not running lots of other virus cards. When the Corp's decision about purging is just to eliminate this card, it becomes much more difficult to justify.

Mentioned in some comments, but put here to give it more visibility.

So here is a play that is explained in the FAQ for combo lovers.

Have Team Sponsorship on table, 1 copy of Research Grant never-advanced on board, and 2 copies of Research Grant in HQ.

Score Research Grant. Trigger Team Sponsorship to install copy of Research Grant. Score that copy of Research Grant off of triggered ability on first copy scored. Trigger Team Sponsorship to install third copy of Research Grant. Score that copy off of triggered ability of second copy scored.

4 cards, 3 clicks (+2 to install TS and first agenda), 3 credits to score 3 points.

A strong card in a meta where runners pack single copies of breakers and rely on pulling things out of their heap at key moments.

The most challenging thing about using this card is deciding when to pull the trigger and what to target. It is often better to use it early to hamper a runner than to clog your hand holding it and waiting for the stars to align for the perfect play that wins the game.

For four credits, you are not getting a lot of utility out of this card. Yes, if your opponent has only one copy of a certain breaker, then sending it to the bottom of his stack could be useful, but then you are still spending four credits and precious card slots on a card that does not have a big impact on the game.

Since the run has to be successful for the effect to go off, you cannot afford to put it in a server with an agenda. It is best used on the centrals or as never advance bait in a scoring server that might create a window for you to score in your next turn as your opponent searches for his lost breaker.
