UB's kinda the stinker of the bunch, but it has that huge loophole: kick
out the ball-carrier (GAQ, in other words) and the run's over. To allow
other challenges to act normally opens up even more options - basically,
any time the owner of the Objective gets to deal damage, you know where
it's going first. And the Elite Security Mages get their potshots in as
well.

*Grin*. That's not a skillsoft, that's an an Ant Warrior!

One card I didn't mention in my other post was Blindsided. Makes up for
the Security Consultant being a fleshform.

Seconded. I admit, it is a nice safety feature, not having to worry
about the big guns or lockout combos, but it's not quite as
interesting.. and it leads to "Big Guy"ism as well. I'm already sick
of hearing how I can make an Attack 50 guy with just four rares (g).
