Thats a nice thought, but it could be a bit abusive and way over
powered... even for six nuyen. There are very few ways for a
mage to win runner vs. runner combat... but there are enough ways
to break even. I always have four fireballs and a nerps in my
mage decks. A well rolled fire ball will kill even squaaaaark.
add that to Dr. Apocolips and it does 7-12 damage. That hurts.
Your mage may die, but so will the brusier and as mages are generaly
much cheaper than bruisers, it would be easier to get them out as
cannon fodder. And have a squatter or two to retrieve your fireballs.
Its very likely that your opponent will stop attacking you with his
runners.
