Good point Nemein, didn't think of it that way. Here is a few ideas I
thought up to change it.
1. add a cost instead of turning, like 3 and limit it to one.
2. add a cost and upkeep to the drone and let it have guard as long as
the upkeep is met, and make it so only one drone can have it at a
time. maybe a 3/1 cost.
