You're still relying alot on cards coming out in the right order and
the right time for your evil plan to work. ;o)

The FASA FAQ talks about two cards that were misprinted and are
supposed to be trashed after revealed:

**********
Shouldn't "Hit And Run" and "Sabotaged Controls" be trashed after
they're revealed?
Oops. Yes, both these cards should be trashed after they've been
revealed.
**********
It could be that Gut Check is another one.

I'm currently in the process of putting in an email to FASA on how
they propose to handle a lock out like this.

The only reference I can find to this in the FASA FAQ is:

**********
I intercept a shadowrun with a single Runner who has Drug tokens from
Club Vortex. I decide to use a Drug token and it kills my Runner. Is
the shadowrun intercepted?
No. You must state which gear a Runner is using before he
fights/intercepts. If you decide to use a Drug token on your Runner
and it kills him, that event takes place before combat.
**********

This simply says the drugs must be taken at the beginning of combat.
The same time you'd declare what weapon, spell or other gear was going
to be used in the fight.

This is different than saying the drugs must be taken at the beginning
of an entire shadowrun. It also doesn't change the fact that a
gambling player could have a runner use more than one drug token if he
so chose.
