Good Idea. Thoughts followed by my list....

I sometimes feel as tho I'm the only one who feels rockers are *not* a
necessary part of every deck. I've built 4 (relatively) successful decks
and only one has any rockers in it (and that deck is made specifically that
way - 12 rockers).

Good Call!

Haven't used it, but I do my best to destroy it as soon as I see it ;).

Good card, but I tend to steer clear of cyberware if possible. Of course,
I haven't built a big-bruiser deck yet.

Nice cards, too expensive for regular use. Maybe I need to look at rockers
more? <heh>
My take on the top-ten....hmmm, harder than I thought. Assuming cards for
*any* deck.....(limited to 1st run)
1) Nerps - Flexibility to the max
2) Maglocks - playing in a league now with no promos, these are worth thier
weight in gold
3) Foxy Roxy - one runner that can sleaze *all* the pumpable challenges (in
first run anyway)
4) Bulldog Van - limited protection from riots and an end around for
interceptions; and now you can add a new fixed fire cannon or two, whew
5) False Mentor - some people may think it's broken, but there's no good
reason not to put one in
6) Bounty Hunter - can give any player pause
7) Mage Strike Force - ick
8) Hawkwind - inexpensive biotech (made even better with the new Protective
spirits
9) Fastjack - see the challenges AND choose the order of encounter?
Anything better?
10) and last but not least: Invisiblity - is there any other card that can
automatically trash nearly two thirds of the challenges out there?
