How many contracts can be on a single unit anyways? Provided they can
be stacked, building up a deck that allows 'Mechs laden with contracts
the best opps to strike at targets of choice or take reduced/no damage
otherwise (Heavy Fog, Bait and Switch) would probably get the most out
of having them.

Rhonda and her Highlander are going into my Rasselhague deck, along
with the Snord contract, but that's about it. That deck's going to be
a lot more about card-control (hand, stockpile, scrapheap), with some
opponent control (Rhonda and Work Stoppage). I'm wondering if I
shouldn't toss Redjack in there, too, especially since Ariel Reed is
in there as well to continue the theme.

As for the rest of the contracts, I'm trying to decide between tossing
them into a Dragoon's or Liao deck, though St. Ives is leaning on the
P just a little, too. ComStar is already well sorted.
