I may be wrong here but if a Decker is on the run from the safehouse.
the only way he/she can do any thing is through programs.
none of there skills since they are not there to psychically use them.
and if this is the case they could only effect electrical challenges
through the use of programs.
so any other type of challenges would end the run.

does this sound write to every one.

Yea...I believe it is a valid tactic. With the exception of how do you
trash runners that aren't there? What's the compensation? What about
objectives that don't have challenges? (Urban Brawl, Cleanse The Hive) that
don't have challenges? Simple cards like Corpselight could stop every run
you go on( There are no deckers with leadership) Not to mention the nasty
cards like Barfight, Riots, Wanted, runners on retainer, drive by. Any of
these cards would knock a decker down to about nothing(with the exception of
Tiny....who would still get his butt kicked by about any Sam) Don't get me
wrong. I love the power of the decker in SRTCG, but be realistic.
