When I clipped this, I missed the name of the creator, but I like the ideas!

I like the concept of bone lacing, yet the cost is 3 and the use is very
limited if you are going to trash the card. Ideas -- simple reduce any
damage by 2 and trash.
You could also reduce damage by 1 and roll to trash, yet I am plauged with
the questions of rules versus reality; how would things such a bone lacings
be trashed without severe additional damage to the runner thus a risky and
hopefully balanced idea.
"+0/+2, roll 1d6 after each use: 6+ trash Bone lacing Aluminum and used
takes 2 pts AP damage."

I like this better than the aluminum, but again, I would like to see a
chance of failure or some type of negitive result from trashing the=
cyberware.

While, I like the concept fragging the runner when the cyberware fails, why
not just play Torgo or Shwaaark with the high nuyen spent? I like gear
that builds onto a runner and works with existing gear and cyberware, not
gear that makes the runner.

I like this! What about adding a +1 to indirect fire results?

Very nice! Hard to use, but it could work if you built your deck right!
Would this attack count magical attacks?

These are great! I see no reason to limit these to one per runner, but I
would definately raise the cost to reflect the fact that they are made of
diamonds(this would limit the number of play in itself. In addition, I
would add the melee value to the damage.

I like this card! Cheap and useful, yet not all too powerful.
