You're exactly right on that. That's one of the reasons infected chrome on Swaaaark will
slow him down but not stop him. Since he has stamina he still does his full damage, and
even if he only has 1 point left at the end of a run he has a chance to heal before he
takes the 2 points of damage on the next turn. The down side, as you pointed out, is that
he'll always have a minimum of 2 points of damage.

And if yer opponent has a Loki... ouch, yer screwed. He can wait till Sqwaaark heals,
have the chrome do 2 points, hit him with another 3 AP, and then untap on his turn and hit
him with another 3 points. Walla, 8 points and Sqwaaark dies. Loki should be included in
most anti-muscle decks these days. (that got a bit off the subject... oh well)
