A low cost barrier for the Corp to rez and for the runner to break. Installed on any server but HQ, this is a Wraparound without the AI defense, with one strength. Corroder, Cerberus "Lady" H1, Breach, even Inti can beat this easily.

The only way this is worth an inclusion in your deck is if it is on HQ. That boosts its strength to Eli 1.0 power, but 1 less to res but with one less subroutine. Again, cheaper to rez and cheaper to break, unless the runner clicks through. So, unless you get one in your opening hand when money is tight, Eli is more adaptable and doesn't have the same crippling focus on one server. Also, this card has twice the influence of Eli.

Not being able to be clicked through is the major upside to this card, but for the same effect you could use a Wraparound, Ice Wall, or even a Paper Wall to save on up front cash.

With its glaring weaknesses and mostly superior counterparts, it hard to justify an inclusion. It's best considered for a Weyland deck that forgot Ice Wall exists and somehow blew all of its influence on SEA Source and other NBN tag cards.

Speaking of, Weyland kill decks should consider Gutenberg, the R&D counterpart, instead.

A resource-hungry card that helps a runner with extra memory demolish the late game. The initial cost of this card is huge, so plan carefully when you have the clicks and creds to spend on setup rather than running. However, once installed, the runner can rack up credits like a Weyland deck, 8 a turn! Kati Jones takes three turns to charge up that much, Liberated Account runs out after it returns 10, and Day Job is far less flexible in its payoff.

But the memory required can be a huge problem if you want ancillary programs. Unless you have crazy amounts of MemStrips, it'll rarely fit in a virus deck. Criminals have plenty of money making schemes without resorting to boring programs. Without a console, this card will cut a breaker suite short by one type, leaving you vulnerable. As such, this card works well with Shapers, who can often get a lot of hardware down quickly, or make runs work with only one breaker through Tinkering or Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman. Chaos Theory: Wünderkind is another good candidate for this card.

It is an old, boring card in a game with many newer options for economy generation. But as a reliable, reusable program it is still a solid choice for many decks.

Similar in ability to a GRNDL Refinery, this is a solid way to get a few credits when you have a defended remote server. One key difference makes this far more flexible, however. This card does not require any clicks to cash in, so if your server is compromised you can dump him for your money! However, the sheer amount of credits to advancement makes GRNDL Refinery much more cost effective if defended.

It's not worth it if you install-advance-advance, netting you a cool 1 with rez and advancement token costs, so plan to load it up. If you have any free advancement tokens to toss onto him, such as Mushin No Shin, Shipment from Kaguya or Tennin Institute: The Secrets Within, his returns will be much more agreeable. Overall, he is a safer and less lucrative choice for advance economy than GRNDL Refinery.

A strong code gate with a unique and powerful ability. With 4 strength and no way to lower it, Anarchs (or anyone, really ) running Yog.0 cannot ever get past this. No Parasite or Wyrm can touch these pristine petals, and it can't be rudely cut by an Ice Carver.

However, it is expensive and only has one subroutine to end the run. If you need a strong defensive code gate and don't want to shell out for Tollbooth, at one influence you could do worse than this. Have one ready against Anarchs and let peace of mind flow.

A cheap and effective foil to AI breakers. This card is trivial for a Corroder or other fracters to break, but against an Eater or Overmind this card is very taxing. At one influence this can easily splash in any deck that you can't fit a Swordsman into if you are afraid of AI or Parasite. Against a standard program setup, Wall of Static or Eli 1.0 are better barriers.

Also, if you are using Paper Wall for some reason, just use this instead. It costs 2 more but doesn't self-destruct.
