    Hints & strategie notes for this Deck

    Deckoverview/Strategy

    This is my deck build in direct response to All good things.

    The deck was build to win major tournaments. Brought me in two final confrontation in German championships and gave me a rating of 1950 points.

    It reports many high skilled personnel in short time to score 100 points in 2-6 turns.

    The deck includes almost all referee cards and countercards. As well as nasty/cheesy to engage the opponent. With over 100 Hexany cards the ratio of the referees etc. is very low. With that ratio it is even faster then most small decks.

     

    Cards and Strategys might disturbe moderate player szenes.

     

    Overview (Draw and free play)

    I draw a average of 5-6 cards per turn. I can play 5-6 personnel per turn (+ downloadable ships)

    With Delta Quadrant Spacial Scisson 2 same Personnel may be in play at the same time. A third may be used to report any other personnel. Only if i draw 4+ of the same personnel in a game, i need to redshirt with it or discard it using Mutation.

     

    10 Kes ensures i draw onen in the game. The others are Red Shirts ;)

    I normaly draw or discard 40% of my deck during 5-6 turns, so 4 Kes is the avarage. Other personnel are less in deck and are drawn 0-3 times.

     

    Personnel (+/-)

    26 Hirogen (for free)

    17 Ocampa (unlimited for free)

    29 Non-Algined (for free)

    18 Vidiian card (for free)

    6 personnel (need normal card play)

     

    First turn i download Sherlock Holmes. Since my hand is almost all the time (near) empty i draw 0-2 cards per turn. A very important card is All threes. with 40 copys and 30 Palor Toffs i play it every turn for another 2 cards. Additional draws come from The Power, Kivas Fajo, Smooth as an androids buttom and sometimes the regular card play.

     

    Again the free play options are: 1 Hirogen, 1 Vidiian, 1 Civilian/VIP, 2 Kes/Tanis each, ship downloads using Hirogen Hunt, Hidden Fighter and a card play from Delta Quadrant Spacial Scisson.

     

    Right cards at the right time (Hexany, downloads, Q´s Tents)

    With 40 Beyond the Subatomic you can choose the card type you want to draw (Personnel).

    Other cards are discarded during the process, so 30 Palor Toff enables you to get your hand on all non-personnel card you want.

    Ships can be downloaded, Q´s Tent include important cards.

    The personnel have a avarage of 5 skills, if you still lack some skill use Hirogen Hunt (choose an opponents personnel to have the skills you need - you need to know which personnel (by name) has the skill you need. If the opponent does not provide what you need, just use one of the Beyond the Subatomic and call objektive. The only objektives are Reflection Therapy with it you can choose any skill for your personnel. The card is also included in Q´s Tent, because calling for a Objektive discards a large amount of cards. In case a Dilemma requies a non-skill requrement such as a queen (executive authorization) just Q´s Tent for The Fortress of Doom and download Arachnia

     

    Strategy:

    1. Mission attemps

    In turn 1-2 i start redshirting planets. 2 include Hogahn which give extra turns.

    Use a Q´s Tent to get a Amanda Rogers, protecting your Hogahn.

    2. "Attack" the oponent to slow him down

    If my opponent plays delta quadrant (Hirogen) as well, there are 2 effective tactics:

    - Move to him (use wormhole, Kes or double-movement from Hoghn) to discard all unique copys of their personnel including Sherlock Holmes. This is a gamebreaker and needs to be used before he does.

    - Use The Fortress of Doom combined with Chaotica, Arachnia, Quantum Fissure and Ablativ Amor. That combination can be provided at any location (including alpha quadrant) in turn 2.

    Alpha Quadrant solver need to be real quick to beat the delta quadrant which means Federation or Ferengi with Brunts Shuttle to use Delta Personnel as well. Both Ferengi and Federation have real trouble beating a Venatic Hunter with abalativ amor.

     

    Thx for reading

    More Attack and Defensive Tactics are explained in further comments.

    With Balance of Power working I do no longer need that deck, equal games are fun.
