Why is that Wanted! is cheaper, more versatile, gives more (rep.) than
Knock-Knock ?? And don't forget that Wanted! is an Uncommun. Am I
missing something in this ??

Maybe someone really wants to fight his opponent´s decker deck - so he
puts in all the cards he can to do so: Wanted! *and* Knock-Knock.
Otherwise, You´re right. ---Felix

In most worthwhile card games, the most powerfull cards are not
always rare. Rarer cards are usually ones that are more limited, or
utilize (or break outright) the rules in a non-standard way.

Knock-Knock is user specific. You, the player, get to cap that nasty
decker. With a Wanted, anyone can put GAQ your hunter and try to claim the
bounty (rep) themselves. I'm not saying it justifies the difference, but
there it is.

Another note: From what I've seen and been told, the runner that is
wanted must be unturned, so if he keeps it turned (a decker with recon would
be easy to keep turned every turn) you would never be able to kill the
wanted runner. With knock knock, you get em while he's turned. I would also
suppose that a Knuckles would have no say so in the matter either.
Personally, I still don't think it's worth the Rare status that it has. But
somewhere, there's a use for it.

The Wanted! Runner can be attacked while turned, since he doesn´t
voluntarily choose to fight. The card text demands him to fight in any
state, sort of overruling the rbt. ---Felix

I agree with that, but I was just going with what I was told at a tournament
at GenCon. I thought there might have been a ruling on it while my back was
turned ;)
