I hadn't even considered the Matrix progs. Wow.

Interception is the most obvious way to attack another shadowrunner, and
I think you covered all the other bases.. wait, Runners on Retainer.

I can't agree with Drive-By: all the other cards read along the lines of
"...Target Runner must fight your Runner; resolve combat as normal."
Drive-By requires a Runner to turn, but it doesn't deal damage based on
that Runner's Threat, and the damage is delivered by the card, not the
Runner. (MtG talk, sounds like.) Or should we add Tempest to this list
as well?

Now, if we consider this mathematically, a loss can be considered a
begative gain; so if we gain -10 Reputation, could a teammate False
Mentor it away from me? :)
