First Edition is getting some new toys! Showdown: Four Lights is a pair of decks meant to go at it. One of the decks is based around Cardassians, as the title implies, who like to capture and wreck havoc.

In that vein, let's do a capture together! I've used the winning deck form Worlds to attempt a mission, Eliminate Harvesters. You see the personnel attempting above and suppose that the opportunity came up to capture. Which personnel would you like to put in your brig? let us know the reason they are the superior choice. Remember, revoting is allowed.

Lotta good choices there. I think it partly depends on what my dilemma strategy is. Garak and Telle are both obvious choices, but grabbing Damar and shutting down a major draw engine is also a possibility.

I don't play 2e but if it were 1e I would take a look at Rogesh if they were hopping between quadrants as he is a key piece to the wormhole schematic.

I would be surprised to see Damar in the attempt, rather than safe at home where he can draw cards. But Garak and Telle are probably bigger threats to whatever I plan to do with dilemmas. In general I would go for Telle, but I might go for Garak instead if I’m running a lot of skill-based dilemmas.

Maybe he got Scorpion'd into the attempt by Disconcerting Displacement?

If that's the case, then he'd be the answer because if you're going to bother with a Hero Trap, you better trap the fucking hero!
