There are a number of deck types featuring 2EBC cards that I have always wanted to build that I have never got around to, but with the impending "Big Ban" there is now some increased urgency to build these decks before these cards are taken away.

One of the decks I've wanted to build is the Cadet deck.
The obvious problem with the cadets is their lack of free plays, so I had to go with the good old Kirk/Picard/Nanoprobe Resuscitation mechanic to play them for free.
Since Practice Orbital Maneuvers is a Sector 001 mission, I decided to try to leverage as many of the Sector 001 missions that I could. Then I rounded out my missions with two Neutral Zone missions so I could create my own spaceline.

This deck is basically a two mission deck. Practice Orbital Maneuvers is the primary mission, and then for my planet mission I go for either Research Devastating Attack or Iconia Investigation, both of which need some help from the Rommies. So I have Sarek and Tomalak to download the Fed/Rommie Treaty.

Card Draws are a seeded New Arrivals (believe it or not I do not officially 'play' more than one free card per turn), and Duckblind. Other card draws in the deck are Where No Man Has Gone Before which can also function as a free card play for my AUs (hence the wormholes), The Traveler, Surprise Party, and Federation Flagship: Renewed.

Bonus points are Reunite Legends, Phoenix, Mordock, Kirk, and AMS.

Nanoprobe Resuscitation can either let you discard and play an AMS or let you play a Cadet for free with Kirk and Picard.

This was a fun deck to build. It won't win Worlds, but it runs nicely and is currently 2 and 0 in an eight deck tourney I am playing with Aaron.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my decks (even if this one will only be legal for a few more months).
Comments are welcome :)
