Hmmmm. Sounds to me more like Jyhad than Magic: The Investment. It MIGHT
be entertaining to play for a bit, but with over seventy trading card games
out right now, I doubt it'll make enough of an impact to compete strongly.
Shadowrun is too complex to put into a card game.
(Not that it can't be done, it's just that the majority of trading card
players don't seem to want complexity. Once again, look at the popularity
of games like Magic vs. games like Jyhad.)
Blessings,
