Actually, it's normally 2 in 3, only 1 in three if they have athletics,
which quite a few runners don;t...
And the card sucks at the bottem of the deck, but stick it on top of one of
the big nasties, like the Fire Elemental or the Dracoform, and just watch
the runners get crushed after half the team gets sent home! :]
It's not a great solo card, and not reliable when it's the last Challenge
in the stack, as usually at least one runner slips through, but still not a
bad card, and nowhere near as weak or lame as some of them...
