ok, as for favorite cards, i think mine has to be the special Drive By! And
the special Wanted! as a Very close second.

Although they are not even rares, they are Extremely powerfull. Drive by
requires a rigger to be turned, and it deals 3 damage to any target runner.
How often do you notice your opponent playing Glitz or Thrash first turn,
and all you have in your hand is regular runners, ALL THE TIME! So by
inserting a few Ajax's into your deck (one of the best non rare runners,
helps vs. maglock's and the all common booby trap, and if you get annoyed at
fusion gate sometimes, they will be your savior) and a few drive by's, it
will make the runnin world a safer place. Ajax's technical and demolitions,
and turn him for a drive by, that foxy roxy giving your mage strike force a
hard time, not any more??? Tired of the Lord Torgo on the table, and your
opponent having rockers to keep the flow of Neuyen normal, well start 187'n
the little bastards with a drive by, and it will make the upkeep of Torgo or
another prime runner more of a bitch, and runnin' for you a hell of a lot
easier.

Now for the Wanted! aspect of it all. Bigguns bugguns BIGGUNS!!!! Everyone
has the player in there area that loves the "how big does one runner get"
theme, and generally with the Hive, or the Brawl objectives, it is a pain in
the ass. He doesnt face your challenges, and uses big ass motherfuckers to
cake walk on through. Unless you are really fast, and can get his reputation
to deminish via specials, the payday will most certinally be for your
opponent. Schwaaaaaaark with 2 razors, torgo or a stomper w. a katana, apply
the dermal plating to any, combined with a heavy armor full and its goodnight
for the opponent, but here's what you do to that. Get out a bigguns of your
own, and wait till one of the biggies get weak (damaged). Beef the ass out
of him, and wanted wanted wanted! When he runs and gets gamaged, then beat
the piss out of em with a wanted, and to further plug my favorite card, if
torgo is yet to be pumped up, and is still naked with 8 points of damage on
him, a drive by will end the elf bashing.

Rockers are a bitch, and especially the Iorn Lung Strategy. So heres what to
do, RIOT THE ASS OUT OF THE BOARD! Most mages go boom, fuck a static wiz kid
shithead, Hawkwind dies, Glitz retires, foxy gets raped, and the biggies
prevail. Big Beat DOWN is fun, but its better when you make your opponent
Cry with Drive By's, riots, Tempest, and Wanted!, destroy his world, and
make him build a new deck, then crush that one too.

I hope in the 1st expansion you see a special card named 187, which says $2,
turn one of your runners with firearms to trash target lone star police
officer, or one lonestar patrol challenge.

Just my 2 cents
