Hmmm... I dunno, this is a treat for a muscle deck. Also, since only awakened challenges
can be used, you will probably have a huge chance that all the challenges placed on it
before it's revealed are bluffs. I would either reduce the main rep to 15, or reduce it
to 20 and add the text "Awakened challenges can not be sleazed or trashed" (this
would stop Sleep and Invisibilities, which would make this objective 100% gettable).

If not, unique or not, a muscle deck is going to grab an easy (ok, a max 13/13 A7 isn't
easy, but most a Sqwaark deck will rip anything less then max) 55 Rep and pretty well
garuntee that he can win with the next objective taken.
