Your reply was the point I was trying to remember when I posted originally
about H-man 2057. In my opinion, it seems cyberware cards are as a whole a
rare breed in the game - I do not remember too many decks posted that
relied heavily upon them. So here was a card that offers the overload of
those rarely used cards by its very nature and one card - the Cyber
Psychosis, can wipe the whole out. It really limits the aspect of
Cybermancy, along with cyberware cards.

One of the poorer decisions I thought from FASA.
