It's not every day I want to share a deck that finished 3rd out of 3 but then the other two players did finish 2nd and 4th in the 2019 rankings.

In any case, I'm feeling pretty good about keeping up with this deck, it's 40 point AQ missions plus Distant Exploration for a 2 mission win. No assimilation, no K&E!

Oh, and even though I had P9Bx2, I'd much rather play nanoprobes.

I'm hoping the new 50 point mission will make it possible to win with fewer moving parts - no quadrant range restriction, no need to draw extra cards points. Having had a look at a build for it, I will say that the non-overlapping skills is a bit of a pain. But they do have the exo and astro interlinks, but I'm looking forward to having more counters for personnel and slots for interrupt cheating.

Anyone who has the courage to play that isn't Big Borg Wall Cheese is in my book.

I have the advantage of being well out of touch with the world meta.

Doing this all time... isn't so special

Adapt and Ascertain are great cards!

Yeah, those are in a later version that I didn’t have the courage to bring out untested.

Borg Queen, Guardian of the Hive

While this personnel is facing a dilemma, you may replace your Drone present with a Drone from your discard pile. Place the Drone you replaced in his or her owner's discard pile. You may do this only once each dilemma.

Is this version of the Queen still being used a lot? It makes the game a drawn out and miserable experience.

That Queen is back in a big way in the WallBorgers deck that's good in Hall of Fame right now.

She earned herself a nomination for next year's class in my book.

I haven't seen her in Standard much lately but she's still playable.

I'm a big fan because when someone kills my interlink or computation drones I want them back next turn.

This deck isn't a huge timesink, it does get complicated during attempts but it takes a long time to get started so there aren't that many attempts.

Looks like the virus will save us all from Borg Rampaging all over HoF 2020. Hopefully people induct at least 3-5 cards next year. There's even an alt Locutus to use now. No excuses.

The greatest sin of Borg Wall is it's boring. Watching my opponent interlink and count his discard pile to 14 multiple times a turn isn't a game I want to play. But John, you did that at Man2, you're a fucking hypocrite! Yes, I am.
