StarfleetStarfleet - A Very Unjustly Deck
Introduction
Here's the premise - get out Khan (Bold Man), then Augmentation, naming Malcolm Reed (Weapons Expert), then play Waken Superior Sleeper to download Reed. WSS is then recycled, and Malcolm, after his order is used, can be drawn/fetched again. Couple with Tampering with Time (to ensure the top card of the pile costs 3 or less), RATS (Bold Man is a matching commander) at space missions, and Disinterested Visitant at planets, and one should be able to attempt missions with minimal resistance. In theory.

Round 1TNGSandra WanekML (-70)
Man, I could not keep track of the dilemmas I was moving around for shit. Even when Sandra could draw and spend three and I knew that the top two were unusable, I still got hit by a Polywater, taking someone out of the attempt. I think this one ended 0-70.

Round 2Hell's HeartWilliam HoskinFW (+10)
This was a lucky match up. As Will wouldn't be attempting and completing a space mission, I was able to take my time on my first one, building up dilemmas beneath it, fairly safe in the knowledge I would scoop the 10 bonus points from Earth. Also, managed to him Will with TWO The Seen and The Unseen (both stopping his attempts, but making him lose 10 points, meaning he had to complete four missions). Low point for me came when I dropped Intimidation (thinking it would stop the all human crews) only to turnover Roga Danar (an Angosian!) as my first choice.

Round 3DS9-EarthUnjustly BannedFL (-40)
First turn Unjustly drops 5 personnel (Cadets and Tolian Soran), then draws for two. My first turn is less than stellar, and things proceed along those lines throughout. On his penultimate turn, Unjustly randomly deals his 14 personnel into two teams of 7. The first gets stopped, the second has the mission skill Secret Identitied away, then has the replacement killed by a Necessary Execution. As I couldn't complete on my next turn, he did on his next one. Low point for me came when I dropped Intimidation (thinking it would stop the all human crew) only to turnover the aforementioned Tolian Soran (an El-Aurian!) as my first choice.

Round 4ByeBY (0)
Bye indeed. At this point, I said goodbye, got home early, and was able to put the children to bed :)

Closing Thoughts
Looked good on paper, but too slow in execution. Maybe I shouldn't play the game under the premise that I'll face none, but maybe that an away team will face one or two. Look forward to playing it in a Standard format tournament when other options (from A Time to Stand) will be available.
