Strategy
Ol' Reliable gives you a dependable, turn 1 Geode on turn 1. Most enemies are attacking you on turn 1, so it's quite easy to put Ol' Reliable in your enemy's way on turn 1, blocking a shot and starting you off with a Shard on turn 2, which is beneficial for many cards like Meteor and Swizzle Shift, among others. Be mindful of its interaction with Zero Doubler - you'll launch a second Geode and both will be destroyed. You'll get 2 immediate Shard, but nothing will be blocking enemy fire anymore. You may or may not want this.
Its A upgrade keeps the card around throughout the fight. If you plan on extending the fight over several shuffles, this is a solid and cheap defensive card that also gives Shard. This means that Zero Draw will be able to retrieve it too.
Its B upgrade adds an additional Geode, doubling the effect of the card. If adding this card to your deck was good, doubling it is too.
