Data Raven, Shadow and Hunter are all cute and all, but remember, they don't end runs. I'm only playing 2 data ravens, because of the auto tag and if the runner gets greedy data raven can prevent me from having to find posted bounty or SEA source, I rarely expect that to happen though and am considering giving them up.
No ICE ends the run if its subroutines are broken. If the runner breaks all the subroutines on these pieces of ICE, and breakes all the subroutines on any given end the run ICE, then these pieces of ICE are almost certainly more cost effective for the corporation. Well at least in the case of Hunter and Data Raven, Shadow is actually a terrible piece of ICE.
Having enough end the run ICE is critical to stopping the runner. However, I think dismissing this ICE because it doesn't end the run is a mistake.
