Ferengi Infestation
Good day, everyone! The following is a deck I used today against
a Dominion opponent. Unfortunately, I lost to a stupid mistake.
I didn't even try to get past Dal'Rok. I just accepted it's terms,
lost a personnel and fled, even with like 20+ Ferengi at the location with
which I would have easily passed it. =) This deck may help
those with limited Ferengi resources like I have (and no Mirror, Mirror
yet).

=Explanation=
HQ: Ferengi Credit Exchange, 1st Rule of Acquisition, and the D'Kora
Transport should seed at the Ferengi Trading Post (FTP).
1st Turn: You're more than likely going to draw an OFFICER; if so,
play him to the FTP. Then reveal Examine Singularity to download
the Bajoran Wormhole. Then use the 1st Rule of Acquisition to download
Grand Nagus Gint and one Gold-Pressed Latinum (GPL) to your hand.
// Editor's note: do the download first. Then you're safe if the
opponent kevins your First // Rule
2nd Turn: Play Grand Nagus Gint, download Bribery and the 34th Rule
of Acquisition with him. If you did get an OFFICER the previous turn,
take the D'Kora Transport and attack the uncontrolled Empok Nor to download
2 GPL. (Hopefully you got to seed Empok Nor at an adjacent location.)
3rd Turn: Play whomever you wish, I'd suggest Red Alert if it's in
your hand. Attack Empok Nor again to download 2 more GPL.
4th Turn: Play a card. Then return the D'Kora to the FTP, have
Gint use the Credit Exchange to discard the 3 of the 4 GPL and draw 3 cards.
Return to Empok Nor, attack, draw 2 latinum. (NOTE: This is your
card drawing mechanism. It may be faster to just
attack Empok Nor for the 2 card draw if you are not adjacent to the
FTP.
// Editor's note: remember that you can only use Ferengi Credit Exchange
for two cards
// each turn. Since you're exchanging 1 latinum for one draw,
though, you may as well
// just draw the cards for 34th rule and skip the extra step, once
you have the latinum you
// need.
5th Turn and beyond: Make sure you use the GPL to solve Purchase Moon
for 40 points. Bribery can help you gain a [FER] icon at Construct
Depot. I like to try to go to the Gamma Quadrant and solve Tulaberry
Wine Negotiations with Quark Son of Keldar and Pel. It's a 2-mission
win. 40 pts for Purchase Moon, 45 for Tulaberry Wine Negotiations,
10 points for 75th rule,, then sell GPL at the FTP for the remaining 8
points you need.
There are LOTS of personnel. If you don't happen to get
Red Alert soon, you can use Brunt's Shuttle to play them all at Empok Nor
like I've had to do so often lately since my Red Alert (and Travel: Trancendence)
like to hang out at the bottom of the draw deck no matter how much I shuffle.
I had my 59-card deck completed in no time.
I used the two Space missions to try to keep my opponent from reaching
me too quickly before I needed a defense (if need-be). You may wish
to substitute with a mission you can solve.
