Only if you incrase cost......
I never really liked accessories, the runner carrying the accessoried gear
dies you loose 3 cards. Anyway u can only play gear on a runner, acc. on
gear.... I find it waste of deck space when constructing a deck, I never put
more than 4-6 gear in a deck (unless it's a decker deck; even then never
more than 10). On the other hand, I will use them in sealed deck because
there is lotssa common gear out there to use (and I don't really have much
choice anyway.....).
