I think it's better not to mix too many types of runners. If you have =
mages,
riggers, and deckers, it's hard to draw a good combination of runners and=
gear.
I'd get rid of either magic or decking; Ajax and Tinkerbell are good even
without Rigger stuff, since they have useful skills.

I like all these. It looks like you're trying for a sleaze deck; have you
considered putting Stiletto in?

My Miscelaneous Monster 70/6

Runners (25)
Money:
Thrash x4
Glitz ok, u really dont need the 1 glitz
(5)
Muscle:
Knuckles x2
Razorback razor back and reaper should be substituted for
stompers
Reaper they r in there for straight muscle, stomper
wins
Lord Torgo
(5)
Mages:
Tempest
Highbrow
Shasta if u have another tempest, put it in instead of shasta,
better skills
The Preacher he is almost muscle, you would be better off without him
for the Y
Scarecrow x2
(6)
Matrix: you r going to have to make up your mind on y u have
deckers for
Ice Queen if for just those programs and browse, i would say go
with static
Static or ice queen. static for his cost, or ice queen for
her ability
Hollywood one holywood is not really effective,besides,he can only
use 1 prog
(3)
Machines:
Ajax x2 i would go with 4 ajax personally, he has better skills
to keep your
Tinkerbell x2 guys alive on a run, plus stamina and being a human are
benifits
(4)
Miscelaneous: i c no problems here
Macabre
Sam The Sleuth
Foxy Roxy
(3)

Gear: (12)
Magic: i would kill either the bullet barrior or the armor
spell, both r not
Bullet Barrier necessary, also. if you cut shasta, kill the fireball, it
only adds
Invisibility x2 a benifit of a D6 if used (her normal power is 4,
fireball D6+4)
Armor Spell as of now, you have too much magic for too feww mages
Sleep x2
Fireball
(7)
Matrix: these r fine, maby kill the steam roler for a crash
Browse both r equally ok
Sleaze
Steamroller
(3)
Machines: this looks fine also, 1 drone for 4 riggers, the van is
allways good
Bulldog Van

Specials:
Tactics: Converge i'd personally kill the tactics : converge,
not much use
Green Apple Quick Steps wacking 1 runner when playing smart, u can wack
the

GAQS,
Nerps! selective killing is allways good
Wild Goose Chase
Wanted
Whoops!
Just a Rumor
Drive By
(10)

Challenges: (21) challenges in general: find challenges
that go well with
Muscle: your objectives, alot of awakened
challenges on

scum,
Halloweener Hell ambushed en rout, poison gas trap, and
sabotagued
