Actually, How I thought up of the card was :
1) I wanted a card that made runners into prime runners. It's more powerful
than in the spotlight that the runner now needs upkeep. Problem : what about
the runners already in play. (This is how I got the name 'Delusions of
Granduer', the runner believes himself to be more powerful and unique - even
if he's not....)

2) To solve the problem in part 1, I added the 'trash all runners of the
same copy' and bumped up the deployment to 7Y from 4Y.

The card was meant to get rid of the few most irritating and useful runners
around : Stomper, Louie da'Bruiser & Trash(I can't really think of any deck
without any of these). Also now playing it on your OWN runner can be an
advantage as you can choose when the runner dies by not upkeeping it. Note :
However it is countered by Copycat Syndrome and affected by all cards that
hurt PRs So maybe I'll lower the deployment to 6Y....
