Yep. :) If a decker in my game went out, bought a deck, and started decking
Aztech with it, he'd realize that there was no Masking, no Evasion, and they
probably find a Aztech hit squad on their doorstep before they jack out. :)

But then, no decker has ever been that dumb in my game yet. :)

Ever lovable and always scrappy,
