Yup. This was a direct outgrowth of the long "Are Drug tokens from Club
Vortex considered Gear?" thread. I mentioned the possibility of a card
like this at the time, thought I'd finally write out the longhand for
what it'd look like. And give people a chance to laugh when a similar
card appears in the official set and mine pales in comparison :)

Glad you like it! It's one of those maybe-good, maybe-bad cards - you
might plant some Gear on it, but fail then run; then your opponent
scores it and you find him holding your PAC. :P

It should definitely be fun - the Az-guys always come across as major
heavies, and any deck based around the idea that you frag your own
Runners has got to be a lot of fun :)
