What are people's thoughts on this card? The artwork is awesome, but it seems underpowered for seven to neutralize an agent (launching or otherwise). The two gold income reduction is fairly inconsequential as far as I have noticed. Getting two income from it is good though.

i think the one thing to make this card almost playable is to make it a surprise, but even then still 7 is a LOT of income to get rid of one agent, and at that point in the game, -2 income can be inconsequential when you have 7 gold lying around.
artwork is super sweet though, i agree.

I really prefer getting a bonus card with condotierro tactics. And I can tutor it with Heirlooms. It's late in the game already, and -2 ressources is not really game changing now.
I don't see the point of this card with our current card pool. :/

WHat Bronto said. It's really underpowered. Considering you can get -4 income with collateral damage, HPA is trying to be to things with very little effect in both.

Agree with all. I don't even use this card in my income-removal deck.
Maybe if it was a surprise it would be playable/unique. As far as I know there are no surprises that directly neutralize an agent that is already in play. (I'm not counting stuff that decreases health and indirectly neutralize an agent.)
Maybe we should start a petition to have this card upgraded. I really try to do something with every card available (i.e. use it successfully in a deck), but so far can't find a use for HPA.

When my card pool was smaller I used to use this, and I would try to get it out as early as possible (as soon as I had 7 income), to make the -2 income mean something. But crime just has so many other (better) kill agent options...

Between assassins guild, mario, change of plans, Ezio assassin, and threat agents, I don't have space (or need) of any kill agent action card, high profile or otherwise. All of those options are cheaper (except Ezio), and IMHO, always better...

I can see a use for it in an expensive deck. It gives you +2 ressources as well. It's not that bad, just a little underpowered.

I think if they changed it to neutralize two target agents, OR into a surprise it might be worth playing.

I wanted to ask the same question but I want to put it beside controlled arson and condottiero tactics
