Strategy
Momentum allows you to build up a more powerful Shield as a fight progresses. How quickly it scales depends on how quickly you go through your deck - note that you also need to be able to play it for it to scale, and the first time you play it it isn't very impressive. You'll need a lot of Max Shield to fully utilize it as fights go on. Despite being a Common card, it usually should be drafted later in a run once you've trimmed your deck and built up the economy to use it well - it's often not much better than a Basic Block early.
The A upgrade goes nicely with a high-Energy loadout, allowing it to be card-draw neutral and thus letting you draw it more often.
The B upgrade doubles its scaling speed - it'll soon be matching Big Shield A's output for 1 energy. Just make sure you have enough Max Shield to actually capitalize!
