So, without even drawing a card to your hand, but a card that goes right into the Exhaust Pile because it was drawn as a random number generator, you can “curse” your character at the start of the game without any way to shake it but wait for it to drain and kill you. Then there’s a handful of ruthlessly overpowered Motion Tracker deck cards. Most will spawn 1 or 2 blips at one, maybe two spawn points, but they’re in the same tier as cards that tell you to spawn 2 or 3 blips PER spawn point AND per tunnel token, so you have a minimum 8 blips, and each blip represents 1-5 aliens. They’re game killers.
