• It's a cantrip
• If you're regularly going up against the Ferengi, or opponents that drop a turn one 5 point gain and an At What Cost?, and/or a Surprise Party, then this is the card for you.

• If you're a fan of the Ferengi, or enjoy dropping an early Guinan/AWC? combo, and/or Surprise Party, then this isn't the card for you.

Given the prevalence of the aforementioned cards (both SP and AWC? feature in the overall Top 10 draw cards on the Affiliation HQs home page, while Guinan makes the Top 10 for the TNG page), one can see this having a massive impact on the meta.

Could this become an auto-include, then dwindle in use as players play fewer extra-counter cards, then have the two (CotU and AWC?) see-sawing in popularity until the last player turns off the lights on the site? Probably not; given it's 0 (almost -1) cost and how, if the player using it isn't using these extra-counter tricks, it has no detrimental effect on them, then it's likely to become an auto-include, and stay that way. At least, until someone comes up with a specific Ritual hammer...

It's likely to be a meta-redefining card that Security Precautions wishes it could've been. It's a 9/10
