card extra


Sense The Borg
By:Sean O'Reilly (gpdf59c@prodigy.com)

Since downloading cards or playing a doorway (on your own turn) does not count as a normal card play you can get even more personnel in play with Sense the Borg. A popular strategy is to play a Rogue Borg Mercenary on your opponent's ship to stop them from executing orders. When you play a RBM, then play Sense the Borg in response to download Ready Room Door which when played allows you to download Assign Mission Specialists which allows you to download two mission specialists. Stopping your opponent AND getting two personnel in play, not that bad!

Combos:

Rogue Borg Mercenary + Sense the Borg + Ready Room Door + Assign Mission Specialists + two mission specialist personnel.

This card, in effect, lets you download dozens of cards. In addition to the first three cards listed, Ready Room Door will let you download ships' captains or Captain's Order cards. One Captain's Order card is Assign Mission Specialists, which lets you download any two mission specialists, and there are quite a few of them in the game. All those cards to download, and it doesn't even count as your card play! And remember, the new Jean-Luc Picard can download this card.

The catch is that something Borg-related has to enter play. However, it doesn't have to be your opponent's Borg. So if you're playing Borg, you can use this card to report the Queen to her Cube as soon as you play the Queen's Borg Cube. Or, you can play a Rogue Borg to stop your opponent's ship, and play Sense The Borg to download one of many cards - use one stone to kill two birds!

Combos:

Sense The Borg + Queen's Borg Cube (or Sphere): As soon as you play the ship, use Sense The Borg to download Ready Room Door, hence downloading the Borg Queen. Now it's time to take over the Alpha Quadrant!

Opponent's Lore + Opponent's Rogue Borg Mercenaries + FC Jean-Luc Picard: So, your opponent played about 6 Rogue Borg on your Enterprise-E. Use Picard to download Sense The Borg, and use that to download Hugh. Intruders? What intruders?
