Ummm.... the card is so specific in it's use that I agree that it should stay around.
Think about it, how often do you see a runner that is so cybered that he's under 1
essence? Maybe Sqwaaaark!, but that's about it. I've occasionally seen someone use both
Muscle Augs and Dermal Plating together, which puts them to 0, but that doesn't seem to be
a common occurance.

CyberPsy is a rare card that is only usable in extreme circumstances, those two factors
demand that the card have a major effect when you actually get to play it.

But that's just my opinon...
