one thing, if you opponnent is playing with riots, two riots take out all
your Glitz's and Thrashs in a second. Luck of the Irish is neat, but you
can only have so many in your hand, and they only work 50% of the time.
There are two really big defenses agaist this deck. If you WAIT till you
have 6 big runners, not only might you sleaze a fair amount (non of the
send the whole team home cards are really hard to sleaze), AND its near
impossible for anyone to pay to kill 6 body 8 players, not to mention that
the Bounty Hunter does do anything 1/6 of the time, and dies another 1/6 of
the time. He ran out of Bounty Hunters before I ran out of characters -
It's just too expensive.
Secondly, if you play with Cleanse the Hive or Cermak Blast or Urban
Brawl's, then all your precious little challenges go away. Then you only
have GAQS and Wild Goose Chases. Those only work so many times, and the
squatter is REALLY EXPENSIVE to keep going, exspecially if I can kill off
you characters in a non-direct way (Riots, 2 Tempest, hmmm, what eles I
have used before?).
Well, that's my $.02. This deck looks really mean on the surface, but when
you play it you realize that you need to many combos to make it work. It
never seems to hold together, you have to draw too much (esp with the deck
below-only TWO bounty hunters in a bounty hunter deck??), and it just never
gels. When this deck works, it's really mean. Seen that! :-) It just works
no where near as cool as you'd think.

BTW - While Rush Job is cool, you just send some pud. Nowhere does it say
you have to run with your whole team. A neat card that I think DESPERATLY
need to be reworded to be usefull. It basically says - Send a sacrifical
lamb to the first challenge and then pull out on your next turn! :-)
