Deck: Prototype KCA Beginner Deck

Personnel:
[Baj] Kira Nerys, Resourceful Prisoner
[Car] Elim Garak, Crafty Underling
[Car] Parn
[Kli] Bregath
[Kli] Filuz
[Kli] 2x Gonik
[Kli] M'tokra

I can complete Kressari Rendezvous with this crew, and they also have the skills for the other mission, Brute Force (a little more narrowly, only two Leadership). I have the deck's skill cheater in Garak, and in the process of drawing these 8 personnel I also got two Bat'leths and two ships.

Using the deck from my recent article (#shamelessplug), I get:

Filuz
Lursa, Cutthroat Accomplice
Jean-Luc Picard, Worf's cha'Dich
Kromm
B'amara
Nu'Daq, Tenacious Rival
B'Etor, Ambitious Renegade
Worf, The Strongest Heart
William T. Riker, Exchange Officer

For Klingons, they're pretty brainy and can do Delta Pavonis. They're not as strong as usually, so I'm hesitant to go for Brute Force yet, but Sector 3641, Locate Abducted Klingon is very doable.

Definitely looks like a prototype. Too many ships, no interrupts... is A5A standard in all of your beginner decks now? Because that's the only way having it in here makes sense.
Every beginner deck either has 5 ships or 4 and a downloader - no beginner I'm handing a deck to is ever getting ship screwed. That plus the two-mission-win cards doesn't leave much space for interrupts.

A5A is in John's day one deck, which was the primary inspiration for this deck. I kept it because it's not really a microteam deck; it has exactly one 4-person team at Kressari (Worf/Odo/Kortar/any 7-str), otherwise it's solving with 5... at its easy mission. KCA can do microteaming, but this isn't the deck for it.

The deck is Falling Toward Apotheosis which won German Nationals but royally sucked in the online Masters.

Top eight personnel are:

[Car] Elim Garak, Crafty Underling
[Car] Telle
[Car] 2x Tajor
[Car] Ocett
[Car] Goran
[NA] Benjamin Sisko, Outlaw
[NA] Errol

Even though barely, those eight personnel provide every single skill and stat for all four missions in the deck.
Although I would most likely hold on to Sisko and Errol as fuel for Garak and later on Dukat and Crell.

I'm putting together a version of Notulans with Hajur to seek the Good Casting (J.G. Hertzler) achievement. I drew:

Odo (Timeless)
Shinzon (Reman Leader)
Hajur (Veteran Fighter)
Grenis
Lore (The One)
B'Etor (Romulan Conspirator)
Leodis
Jorvas

My missions are (in standard completion order):

Starbase 718 (Investigate Crysatellite) - Lore has all the skills. Alternatively, Jorvas can provide the Engineer, and there's no shortage of Leadership and Security in this personnel.
Supervise Dilithium Mine - Shinzon, Leodis and Grenis each have Geology. Any two of them will have all the skills.
Deliver Prisoners - Law is the weak point here, as only Odo has it.
Provoke Interstellar Incident (usually a back-up mission) - Odo has all the skills, or Jorvas can provide the Navigation (with, again, a plethora of Leadership and Security).


No surprise that I have all the skills for all the missions. This deck is built for redundancy, with 16 Security, 13 Leadership and 13 Geology in the deck. The 'weak' skill is 8 Law, as it also has 12 Treachery personnel (5 of whom are 2 Treachery) and 10 Engineer. EDIT: Oh, it also only has 7 Navigation, but that's part of the reason PII is the back-up mission.

My Online Masters deck Give me (Ghe)More:

Guinan
Bronok
Kira Nerys
T'Les
Worf
Mona Luvsitt
Artim
Joret Dal

I could only complete Investigate Alien Probe with those 8 but I wouldn't be attempting with my only programming, Kira, any way and I got no Diplomacy or Archaeology for the planets.
It is a download deck though, I would've downloaded 6-9 people before I drew the last 4 of those personnel.
