Since the majority of the games that I play are multiplayer - 3 to
4 players, challege selection is very important. I cannot count on
really nasty 3 card combos or even look really to expect to see 2 card
combos. 16-18 of all my challenges in a deck are run stoppers, that
really must work well on their own.
Maglocks - cant be sleazed without proper gear cards... usually works.
Chomps 2000 - stops bully decks for a run, can't usually be sleazed.
Hellish traffic - wonderfull. Tough sleaze requirements.
Corpslight - sucks rocks - Most every type of deck has someone with
leadership. Cant be relied apon.
Gut Check - Good filler. 50/50 chance of stopping... not too shabby.
Widows Trap - Usually good for 1 stop. Then there are the chances to
take the next time. Not too shabby.
Nets - ok I guess. Great for setting off the alarm, but doesn't stop
things cold.
Yakuza assasin - Most decks cant go up on a 1 on 1 basis with this
guy, works great.
Yakuza hit squad - works great if the running team has been weakened
by previous challenges, can't be relied apon to always work on
its own.
Mage Strike force - With just a little nuyen this is the nastiest
thing around. 6¥ and an opperation cottonmouth gives a 14/14
(A5) or even 12/12 (A4) wo/oppertation cottonmouth. Usually good
at stopping a run.
Elite Security Mage - another scary challenge. Much like above, but
you get to send torgo home before he does anything.
