The problem is they will probably delete your Specials with LotI (they
keep´em on hand til they really need them). Cleanse the Hive doesn´t
help since they use their own Wake the Dead to make their Reputation. A
change of tourney rules will not work. One of the WtD players has
promised to inform the Shadowrun distributor FanPro of the rules change
should any be made, and thereby no German Championship points or Promo
cards could be given out anymore. The ban on transformation Objectives
was cancelled for this same reason. We still all want to get our
Championship points.
It is virtually impossible to get CoP, Blindsided and All or Nothing out
as a combo 4 times (for his WtD), and being able to pay for them every
time without any one being cancelled by LotI, even on the off chance
that a player has 4 of the Rares. If I try to collect and keep the Nuyen
for all these Specials, I´m just about unable to play any other cards.

Any other suggestions?
