Barzan Wormhole

Are you ready to drool? Barzan Wormhole is giving you yet another reason to stock that easy-to-solve, 45-point (and that's without Mission Specialists!) Wormhole Negotations in your deck. Say no more, I like it already! Oh, if you insist:

Much like the regular Bajoran Wormhole and the Bajoran Wormhole: Mirror Universe, the Barzan Wormhole greatly enhances the interaction between players operating in different quadrants, or improves your deck's flexibility in hopping from quadrant to quadrant. The Barzan Wormhole however, isn't as stable as it may seem.

Seeding in any phase means you're not at a disadvantage if your opponent tries to outseed you and gives you the opportunity to spring a surprise at the last moment. It provides every battle-oriented deck based in the Alpha, Gamma, or Delta Quadrant the best option to swarm out and take out your opponent wherever they might be hiding. White-driven Jem'Hadar, organ-stealing Vidiians, and ship-ramming Kazon will all come pouring through that wormhole. Need to get to the [DQ] really fast? Line up that Dominion armada at the Barzan Wormhole and play another copy from your deck to relocate the Wormhole (and all cards at that location!) to a new location in the Delta (or Gamma) Quadrant. How's that for wiping the grin off someone's face? Relocate multiple ships with a single card and you're not even stopped. Going in for the kill?

It gets better! Once each turn you get to play a copy to drop any ship with crew (limit of four cards aboard) at Wormhole Negotiations. That's not even your card play, so make sure you keep filling that hand for a drop a turn. No more messing with only-[AU], which is necessary for the classic Space-Time Portal drop. Any ship, any personnel.

Seems like Barzan is going to see quite some activity real soon. Be prepared to defend it!

Combos:

Barzan Wormhole + Bajoran Wormhole: Mirror Universe + Bajoran Wormhole + your armada: Quadrants! Hah! Only one big spaceline to me!

Barzan Wormhole + Space-Time Portal: Pick up that staffed Weyoun's Warship with matching commander here, drop it down there and blow up stuff. It's that simple!
