Hey people.

I was pondering briefly the situation regarding the usage of the =
"guard" trait and cards like Wanted! and Bar Fight. I then came up with =
(what I at least think) is a good idea for a new card. Here it is:

*********************************
Got your Back!
Special/Stinger
2 [Nuyen]
Play Got Your Back on target Runner [TR] you control who is engaged in a =
non-shadowrun based combat.
You may turn a Runner in your safehouse with guard and use this ability =
on TR as if the Runner with guard was present with TR.

Flavor text: You didn't really think I'd come here alone, did you?
*********************************
I considered the cost of the card and felt that it should be =
relatively low since a 2 card combo is required for this card to be =
useful (i.e. - you need both Got Your Back! and a runner with guard).

What do you all think?

Thanks.

I like this card. How many times do you get caught by a trog lover who
throws down a bar fight to knock off your mage, jsut to get healed and do
it again 3 rounds later. Keep the cost low because of the combination--I
agree.

Great idea! Actually, I'd like to see something like "Turn target runner with Guard,
this runner may take the place of a runner who is engaged in runner to runner
combat". Imagine the surprise on someones face when they go to Wanted! your Kracker
Jack and are suddenly facing a pumped up Knuckles.
