I agree that there is nothing mentioned specifically about pumping a card
below zero, and I think everyone can agree that cards that can only be
pumped to 0 are Inferior compared to things that can pump infinitely. I
think, for balance among challenges (to make them as evenly useful as
possible), you should be able to pump beyond 0, IMHO.
