This card utterly smashes runners with no money who rely on a single program. In all other cases, it's still pretty good. Its zero strength means it can easily bait out Parasites and voids Datasucker completely (although if your opponent is bad enough to run Datasucker you probably didn't need this card to win in the first place). It's a very surprising, very cheap card that will ruin most runners' everything. Also has great synergy with cards like Mutate.

I have absolutely no idea why anyone would ever use this card. Most corps have ice in their decks, ice such as Wall of Static or Guard. You will need to pay to break this ice if you are going to make a successful run. So as the game goes on, you need to pay increasingly more money to get 1, which is literally the lowest positive integer in existence. Not to mention the click and 3 it cost you to put this card on the table in the first place. Compare to a Sure Gamble, which lets you instantly click for 4.

This card is a big trap for beginner players who like cool pictures of computer displays and the color blue.

This card stinks. Most icebreakers (Corroder, Garrote, Gordian Blade) have the ability to get +1 strength for 1, which is functionally identical to lowering an ice's strength by 1. So on the click you ran to get that Datasucker token, you could have just clicked for 1 instead.

Except you had to pay to get past ice, you paid a click and a 1 to install the Datasucker in the first place, AND you still have a Datasucker taking up slots in your deck. Congratulations.

The only reason to include this card in your deck is cheap Noise mill.
