Agreed, and as timing issues are coming up that we can't wrestle down
on the list I've been shooting them over to FASA. I think we'll see a
bit more on timing come up in the FAQ and changes on card text in the
2nd printing.

I personally like objectives that boost or aid challenges, and then
tailoring challenges to that. Things like Critter Hunt, Amazonian Hunt
or Operation Up and Over, then stacking up on Awakened challenges. Or
Fort Knocks with a number of personnel challenges.

I've found I really like Drive By. Of course, False Mentor is a must
have (though I doubt this one will be tournament legal). I'd also
include Mage Strike force (love that pumpable armor), Hunting Gargoyle
and the Guardian Dracoform in just about every deck.
One other I recommend would be Ice Queen, her combination of Recon and
ability to force an opponent to lose nu yen for a deployment cost of 3
nu yen is a great bargain.

I agree that I'd like to see locale themes in some of the expansions:
Tribal Lands, Europe, the Tirs, CAS, Amazonia, and so on. A corporate
expansion would be cool. Maybe a Threats expansion (critters, insect
spirits, toxic totems,
