I'd drop the chipjack 2, personally, and maybe up it to a 6/6 or a 5/5
(A1) if he's got dermal or some such. Also, the quote is not going to
fit. Sorry, but on a card, there's not that much room. I like the
Antisocial when wounded, though usually if you get in a fight and get
wounded you aren't going to be sleazing anyways. Still, it's a card
quirk -- keep it. =


The "first attack".... There's not room on the card to explain it, and
we all know what you mean, but it's a little vage. If it were an
expansion, maybe you could take the Magic route and add a new special
ability, but that would rob the unique-ness of the card that you're
savoring.... I say, screw it -- we know what you mean, you know what
you mean, keep it vage.

I would, however, up the upkeep to 2. Look at the ghost-who-walks --
even he's got a 2 upkeep.
