Does anyone think Wanted is overpowered?
I mean, barfight is acceptable, but wanted is just overpowered.
I mean if you want to play against that boring Muscle Deck
with 4 riots and 4 wanted etc , then it's very hard to win with it with
any other deck then that same Muscle deck.
It's just hoping that you have luck luck with the Luck O Irishes.
Even a green apple just gives you another turn against a wanted
and as a bonus you even reive reputation points.
Ever experienced that you just make a run and your opponent
first plays a false mentor and then a Wanted and wins the Game,

YOUR turn.

Besides, there's several things that you could do to the wanted
character. My favorite (if I know my opponent has lot of wanted cards)
is to throw a cortex bomb on the wanted character. Wanted takes place
outside of the safehouse. Yeah, this is best when you know you will lose
the runner anyway. Immagine the attacking runner's surprise when dammage
is delivered twice. :-)

Just my 2 cents

I've started using Bad Reputation to discourage the muscle decks from using
Wanteds and Bar Fights on me. When used as part of an overall strategy to
take advantage of the muscle decks' weaknesses, it works pretty good.

Or some of the new cards help limit the use of Wanted. ie 911 and My favorite
State of Confusion. Imagine the surprise when the Wanted runner ends up being
one of his own rockers instead of an easy kill.
