If this were the only choice for upgrading Strange Solution, I would rarely, if ever, use it. But given the availability of Strange Solution, no one in their right mind should ever choose this. 4 evades versus 3 attacks with +2 damage each? Evading is generally only better than attacking when the enemy is not hunter and you can do what you need to do and leave the location the same turn. This card should have had at least 6 supplies to be in the same ballpark as Acidic Ichor.
This will usually be bad, yes, I agree with that, but there is one instance this is great, and that is TFA.
In TFA, you will often need to evade enemies instead of killing them, and an asset that costs 1 to evade with 6 base with 4 supplies is really good if you can afford the 4xp upgrade cost.
