Strategy
Zircon Zip cashes in your Shard for the ever-important Evade resource, allowing you to get out of harm's way. Even if you don't have Shard, it's almost as good as a Basic Dodge, providing a flexible point of movement when played. With Shard, this is like Scramble A, with 2 Shard replacing 1 Energy. All in all, in many cases this is one of the best things your Shard can buy.
Its A upgrade either saves you 1 Shard or gets you 1 more Evade depending on your situation, which can be useful if you're desperate for Evade and have a weak Shard economy. Otherwise, there are better upgrades.
Its B upgrade can get you 1 more Evade in an overflowing Shard economy. Upgrading to Basic Dodge B is probably preferable to this most of the time, as it gives you 1 Evade unconditionally (and an Energy), and with this card + a lot of Shard, which you presumably have if you're considering this upgrade, you probably don't need Basic Dodge to stick around.
