Imp and Plan B

By nicholasha, in Android: Netrunner Rules Questions

I looked all over for an answer and am hoping you all are just better at rules than I am. If the runner accesses plan B, does the runner get to trash it using Imp before plan B can replace itself with an agenda and score it? I am wondering this on the basis that the runner gets to trigger first in a run.

Thanks for any help!

Nope. From the FAQ:

Can the Runner trash an accessed card with Demolition Run before any ‘when accessed’ conditional abilities resolve?
No. The card must be accessed before Imp, Demolition Run, or any other similar effect can be used to trash it, just as if the Runner was paying its trash cost.
You can only use Imp after resolving the Access. Note that if you don't trash the Plan B, it stays in play.
