I like it, but it seems a bit limiting. In order for the guard
ability to work, the runner with guard has to be present. In order to
give the drone guard WRAITH has to turn. Since he is already turned
he won't be able to go on a run, or if he is on a run he won't be able
to turn to give the guard ability. Therefore the guard drones will
only be useable in the safehouse. I think this is correct. Is that
what you had intended?

Maybe if there was a cost associated with it. How about, "Wraith may
give one of his drones "guard" ability until the end of the turn. At
the end of the turn [whether or not the ability was used] discard the
drone."

Just a thought, I'm not sure about the []d text.

Personally I think the +5 and the add Melee is a bit much for only 5Y.
Maybe here again if you add in some sort of subsequent cost, or
penalty for using the "add in Melee" ability.
