Simple: During their shadowrun phase, they must allocate at least one
Runner to being a member of a shadowrun "team".

Well, they have to wait until their turn to do so, wince Rush Job is not
a Stinger, but yeah. Wouldn't you rather they play one on their own
Runner that one of yours?

And likely have at least one wince in pain.

If they can do the Iron Lung...

Can someone play Block Party so there is no more shadowrun phase? Or
activate the Z-zone?
Or Brain Freeze/Abduct their Runners into limbo?

Yuppers.

Personally, I'm the honorable sort who'll reserve one character to make
a horrifically improbable shadowrun, but the card is (perhaps
deliberately) weakened. None of the "outs" mentioned above are without
some form of risk, or require the player to use a card on themselves
they might have used against you.

Cf. with the Nettling Imp, from MtG, where the card must attack or be
destroyed.

Nope. "...Trash to allow a Runner team that *just finished a shadowrun*
..." The Runner/s in question have not gone on a shadowrun - they've
visited a Location. (Tracking down that ineffable teleporting node is
just such a long process that there's no time to go shadowrunning at all
that turn.) Ditto Z-zone.

Jack Skater was a bit of a wimp-out -- he's not even the only Street Sam
with Leadership (and when is Leadership-4 better than Leadership-1? Can
we say never?)

Kham's a bit better. Remember that unlike Domino's pump, the bonus he
gives doesn't necessarily go away. Skills are weak, sigh - you'd expect
Primes to be the best there is.. but he's not as much a coaster card as
Skater is.

I expect they will be working more with them, but cannot speak for FASA
(unless they do decide to run with my submission after all).
