Each player can attack only during his or her own Legwork phase,
assuming no one else has done so previously (since the card gets trashed
after the first swipe.)

Wanted
Type: Special
Rarity: Uncommon
Description: 1¥. Play on target Runner. During their Legwork phase,
opponents may turn one Runner to attack target Runner. Trash
Wanted after resolving combat. Runner who defeats Wanted
Runner earns Reputation equal to deployment cost of Wanted
Runner.

Cool uses:

- Play on one of your opponents almost-but-not-quite-dead toughies - an
8/8 who still has six damage on him, say. Waste a weenie to finish him
off and get Rep for it.

- Play on *your own* Runner, when you've stalled out at 92 Rep and all
the Objectives have multiple Challenges on them, Motion Detectors
activated and Red Alerts singing away. Knock off your own Razorback (or
better, Fastjack - 3 damage and 7 Rep!) and win, win win! ... Just keep
a LotI ready for the Bad Reputation that follows, though. MAybe a LotI
in case someone plays enough Bad Lunches that 'Jack actually survives,
too..
