In the right deck, this is almost Jackson Howard levels of utility. Let's look at the similarities. It has 2 abilities, both of which are useful in almost all decks. All decks have ice they'd like to rez at a discount. It's worth noting you can also rez assets and upgrades with this card. So you can do some kung fu like rezzing a PAD Campaign without losing any money. This can be great for a tempo swing. Almost all decks have at least one asset they'd like to go find at will. On top of that, the tutor ability is a clickless trash ability, so this card is nearly untouchable by the runner so long as it's installed. It's safe against Security Testing in an unprotected server. The ability to search for an asset means two things. Obviously you can get the right asset at the right time, but also you can run much lower asset density if your deck was relying on certain assets. There aren't so much drawbacks to this card as there are situational uses. For instance, the rezzing ability isn't very useful if you're looking to surprise a runner. It's much better for rezzing binary ice that is taxing. It's also good if you just want to gear check at a discount in the early game, but the runner doesn't need to waste a click faceplanting into your gear checks. Also, not every deck runs alot of assets. But IF YOU DO run assets and binary ice, there is no reason not to run this card. I use it in my NEXT Foundry deck and it is always an MVP.

Note that if you rez a PAD campaign with this, you don't get the PAD's 1c back immediately as the PC was not rezzed at the start of your turn. —
Don't both of those effects take place in the action window prior to the Corp's first click? If so, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use EBC to rez a PAD or any other card that gives benefits at start of turn since the Corp decides in what order the effects happen within the same window. —
The turn begins effects are all activated at the same time and then you choose the order to resolve. Since the PC wasn't rezzed at the trigger point it doesn't resolve that turn. —
