I imagine that it’s some kind of resource that would prevent trashing the first card from hand a turn if you pay 1 or 2 credits.

Really nice to see a decent Weyland Transaction at last. Beanstalk was a while ago.

Dang! Power creep confirmed.
I’m not sure under what definition this is power creep, but I could certainly see running 2 of these in BABW and probably 1 in a few other decks. Obviously it gets very good if you’re also gonna pack News-Teams or the runner is using fan sites.
Argus and PE could have some fun with this. I am interested to see how these Terminal cards will be used, and what impact they will really have on the game.
I don’t know that the restrictions around using these cards really hurts the corp much, and from the spoiled copies so far, there appears to be some power creep when compared to earlier sets.

Seems like a decent follow up to Midseason Replacements as well…
I don’t know if I’d go that far. It is a Beanstalk if they have one agenda scored, and a Restructure if they have two.
You already have to be in a losing position or roughly tied at best, and on top of that it ends the turn.
It doesn’t seem that broken to me. Good? Yeah, maybe.

Its actually worse than beanstalk if there is only one agenda scored. Bean costs 0 to play.
Its fine. If you play with News Teams/Shi Kyu or Weyland gets their own version of News Team, it will probably be disgustingly good.
Also pretty good in Convenienceshop, dropping some of your fast advance tech for x1 copy. It is especially good in that build, as then you could play the Weyland Op to search and find it.
I think it was the perspective of BABW, at least initially. On that ID, it’s better than a Restructure if you are down two agendas (for more reasons than one).
The art of the ninja (?) In the same article is called enforcing loyalty.

This card seems perfect for Argus. Simply having more “Hedge Funds” is good, and if they have two agendas it’s actually better given its cost (1) and the money it nets you (+3).

Well, you can Restructure into Midseasons, but can’t do it with BuyBack, so it’s not strictly better. And it doesn’t really matter what ID you’re playing, since they’re all transactions anyway.
You are right, Restructure would give the same net gain on two agendas. BuyBack at that point has the advantage of a (much) lower threshold to play. The downside is that it is conditional (agendas stolen) and Terminal, which I agree means it’s not strictly better.
That’s a good thing, because it gives us an interesting card option that is not power creep.
