3 cards does not a virus deck make. Does anyone have any good ideas =
for expanding the virus concept? Here's one to start off...

I agree with that comment bigtime!

Vaccine
Special

Play only during owners legwork phase.
Remove all virus tokens from target runner.

I think as you have it, the cost of that is too much.....even if it =
were used by an opponent. What do ya think of something like this?

Mass Vaccination
Special

Roll D6 for each targeted Runner. 2+: Remove all Virus tokens Runner =
is holding.
X=target Runners with Virus tokens.
Mental note: Vaccine's chances of failure are there, but very slim =
and it's also my understanding that with Specials (not Stingers) that =
unless they say...they can only be used during the Legwork phase, =
hence...no need to type it onto card. But I like the idea a lot.

Locust
Troll Mercenary

4/5 (A1)
Melee, Stealth
If Locust damages a runner in runner vs runner combat, place a =
–1/–1 Virus token on the Runner. An undamaged Runner may turn to =
remove all Virus tokens he is holding.

Luv the idea, but with one suggestion. 4 attack will 98% of the =
time do damage to another Runner. Add a Katana making him a 7/5(A1) is =
devastating. And how could you explain him with a Ranged Weapon placing =
a Virus token? I would suggest making the Bonus read like this maybe:

When Locust inflicts Hand-to-Hand combat damage against a Runner or =
Awakened and Personnel Challenges, Roll D6. 4+: Place a -1/-1 Virus on =
opposing card.

You realize how cool this would be if you made him a Bodyguard =
instead? They'll use caution with Wanted from now on, huh? Damn, that =
would be cool!

Yeah, I have 2 Virus Challenges posted under my Webpage creations. =
Though, I will be revising "Devil Rats" to read as -1/-1 Virus tokens =
instead of -1/-0....but the "Contaminated Zone" card might not need =
revising. I will post my ideas here soon, but if ya wanna check 'em out =
now....they're at http://pages.prodigy.net/neorazorboy/srtcg.htm is =
where they're at now under Card Ideas. Talk atcha laterz here......
