Hey gang! Just getting my feet wet again with 1E and I'd like to try some Ferengi again! How are they in OTF Complete right now? Any good deck ideas or combos running around these days? Am I still good slinging Latinum around?

Your best play for a competitive deck is with Continuing Mission, Attention All Hands, and Ferengi Military Operations.

Unfortunately the Ferengi didn't get much love in the DS9 block era. There's some cards that I can't remember the name of but they're not great.

If you really want to sling the latinum around, you may be able to go with a no-property logo old school deck. It's fun to play at least.

Unfortunately the little orange guys just don't appear to be tier one these days.

I regret to say that Ferengi right now are arguably the worst OTF Complete affiliation.

I can't remember the last time anyone in the world won a tournament with them without using cards that are currently banned.

They've got three obvious potential builds: Where Opportunities Are Made, Ferengi Military Operations, and Smuggler's Rendezvous with the [22] Ferengi and either [NA] supplements or a combo with the Ferengi homeworld. (Or both!)

Of the three, I think the last is the most promising.

WOAM is okay on paper (just okay) but profoundly fragile and slow in practice. I consider it the worst of the three.

FMO has nothing to recommend it versus the other TNG cards now that it's been nerfed, and Ferengi struggle with the Attention All Hands nerf as well. But it still plays like a TNG deck, and it can solve stuff pretty good if you play your cards right.

Smuggler's looks good on paper and little-tried in practice. There's a bunch of potential stacking available to it, and you can exploit Unrelenting Lust and Ferengi Gas Trap for fun and profit. So it might be good. Or I might be underestimating its weaknesses because I haven't played it and (as far as I can tell) only one or two people have tried it.

If I were to build a competitive Ferengi deck (I'm not), I'd probably go Tower of Commerce + NA play engines like Son'a/Bak'u etc.

Hadn't really considered ferengi. Could be interesting.
I may have to add that to my to-build list...

[MidnightLich]

Ferengi get, in my opinion, a very fun card in Project Delenn.

Neelix,

I would do a fun build with Where Opportunities May Lie.

Yup. Looks like a Continuing Mission deck. Those can win.

Though the fact that you had to go back to the Obama administration to find a winning ferengi deck kind of underscores the larger point that they aren't particularly competitive these days, no?

I do like that capture tech though. This looks like a fun deck to play. Props to Lattrell for building and winning with an innovative deck.

Enjoy your kudos for digging that one out of the archives, Mogor.

And Neelix? Here's a playable Ferengi deck for ya!

[Neelix]

Looks like fun!

Ehh I still think they are viable just not as easy to build and run as others

Brunt's Shuttle, Ferengi Conference, Study Divergent History and New Arrivals. With Brunt's Shuttle you will even be able any quadrant-NAs.

I want this card to work Assemble Rescue Team.

Seems like it can with Valuable Prisoner or a dilemma that you can run your personnel into i.e. Cardassian Trap.

If they have no way to dispose of a captive i.e. Torture or Prisoner Exchange or that other Incident, then you can download personnel.

Somehow, this card has been out for three years and nobody has tried to build a deck with all the cards from "The Magnificent Ferengi."

I wonder what would happen if somebody tried. Maybe it's good! We'd never know!
