This is the sort of thing I'd be cautious about employing: cards in one
set that reference cards that only appear in another. Someone who
starts playing with Corp War or Second Run might not have any Enviro
Body suits at all, making this card *much* weaker. (Playable, but a lot
weaker.)

Some concepts would probably carry over -- Experience tokens, Thug
Runners, cards that arrest Runners -- but specific cards are, I'd
warrant, pretty unlikely.

Still, it's a cool idea. :)

Completely forgot about the Sioux Wildcats. Wow.

Still, it strikes me the Wildcats would be more in line with the Knight
Errant or Lone Star Patrol Challenges -- tough, but not exactly a x/15
(A2).

Like this one better than the Security Decker -- but it might be *too*
much better than the SecDeck.

How about roll D6, minus Decking?

Cool. Makes a nice combo with Red Alert -- well, even without Red
Alert.

*Way* too limited in scope. The Unstable Ally of Challenges ;)

Kind of ... normal, don't you think?

Revision .. four? .. to the Amerindian Expansion coming up soon. Look
for em.
