Gotta start someplace.

Presumably, *some* of your deck consists of something besides Runners to
frag. Can't really see a deck of 56 Runners and 4 Aztechnologies (but
that's a thought...)

McDeven's a bad idea. You're paying enough to bring in another weenie
Runner; atleast then you have the option to frag-to-trash immediately,
or wait awhile. Of course, McDeven also works after everyone else has
gone to the altar.

Expensive; and the idea seems to be to precent him from ever running in
the first place.

Way to expensive. Besides, the idea behind fragging all these Runners
is to keep him away from the Objectives altogether.
A few other possibilities:
- Cover Up. This one's been seeing heavy use in my decks lately (ask
Felix). Basically delays your opponent until you can score another
Runner or two to zap him with,
- Metahuman Prejudice. Another nice delaying move: you can trash the
humans, and force him to reshuffle the metas away.
Looking over things, wouldn't it be nicer if Banzai just gave a +2 to
the die roll at Aztechnology? :)
