Works great with Graymalkin feeding that sweet energy every turn. The card text actually reads "Exhaust Plasma Rifle and spend a Energy resource --> deal 1....", not Strength as pictured here at release. :)

Expensive, restricted, requires completing at least 2 side schemes to justify its use, but its only really worth past 3+ completed PSS.

Yes, on late (if you survive and accomplish enough to reach late) its spending a for 3/4 ranged damage. But until then its a constant dead weight in your hand and in your board.
