Hello all,

Well, we're really building a solid foundation here in Amsterdam, and
the decks begin to diversify.
Main themes played at this moment:
- Elves magic Shamans/Mages.
- Riggers, Rockers and hard-hitters.
- Deckers, Rockers and hard-hitters.

I personally have finally constructed a deck that wins most of the time,
a bit of a 'denial' deck (remember those, kidz? ;-)
I play with 25 specials: Wrong way, Wild Goose Chase, No way out,
Luck o'the Irish, Loaded dice, Blindsided, Deja Vu, GAQ etc.
I either prevent my opponents from scoring the points, or I
put their runners in the meat-grinder using No Way Out and Blindsided.
I typically have 5-6 specials in my hand, so I dictate the outcome in
most situations.
Most heard during games I play is my outcry: _Wow I love this deck!_
For runners I use dwarves with a few weapons and lots of skills.
And I use pumpable or hard-hitting Challenges, so I can finish
an oponent off with a Riot.
My favorite Challenge: Elite Security Mage. I have 3 of them, and they work
Soooo well.. Who cares about fragging your top card when you can send
back not only the most important shadowrunner, but in the process kill
off the rest of the team as well, without them able to sleaze or defeat.

My question is about Elite Security Mage:
Can you use the special ability of the Challenge even if they get sleazed?

Have fun,
me.
If at first you don't succeed, to hell with it. Too much damn trouble.
