I've had a lot of questions about this card also. Since it says ALL,
does that include your own challenges? Does it only trash them as
they're revealed, or does each player look at their challenges and say
"Oops, that's electrical". The whole concept of the card would imply
that everything is trashed at the same time (essentially the decker just
toasted the entire mainframe), but I've noticed that concepts and the way
they're played aren't always the same thing.
I can see arguements for both sides.

Now as for timing, I would agree with MatB on this one. The decker can
use it from the safehouse, but it has to be used during a run, and the
decker counts towards your 6-runner max.

So if all challenges are electrical and they are all trashed, any
opponent will have the right to intercept the run ??
