No tech works against a 30 weapons cube on turn 2.
Eliminate Starship can be downloaded over and over. Borg can chase you to any quadrant.
How are you facing a staffed cube on turn 2 starting in a different quadrant? Honest question bc I cannot figure it out.
Not too difficult, could even do it turn 1 with the right draw.
Seeds needed
They Will Be Coming (Downloads
Locutus' Borg Cube)
New Arrivals/
Kolinahr
Construct Starship
Transwarp Network Gateway (Seed at end of opponent's non-alpha spaceline)
Obelisk of Masaka
Many Nebula missions.
If you want to do it turn 1:
Tribunal of Q
Turn 1
Card play
Borg Queen (Shades of Gray).
Free play either a ❖ with
New Arrivals or a unique with
Kolinahr.
Free play a ❖ with
They Will Be Coming.
Download We Are the Borg with Borg Queen to download 2
drones, one of which is
Seven of Nine.
Ship is now staffed - Seven fills
,
,
; Queen covers
, other 3 provide
.
If your ship is not a nebula mission, move to one.
Turn 2
At start of turn persona swap to First Contact
Borg Queen.
Use card play to download
Transwarp Hub to the mission you're at with
Construct Starship and Seven's ENGINEER, discarding the objective.
Download
Masaka Transformations with your
Obelisk of Masaka and convert the first draw to a download of
A Change of Plans, which in turn downloads
Eliminate Starship/
Assimilate Species.
Move to your opponent's quadrant and go attacking.
Doing it turn 1!
That should be pretty consistent, if you build your deck for it. If you want to do it on Turn 1, it is a little less consistent.
You'll want to get
Gowron of Borg with
Kolinahr and
Two of Nineteen with
They Will Be Coming, you can use your
Obelisk of Masaka to download
Masaka Transformations, convert the first draw to a
Transwarp Network Gateway to your ship's location, a
Q the Referee, and another
card either to hand or table. Cycle the second
card you got to download
Transwarp Network Gateway to move to your opponent's quadrant and attack.
Come to think of it, doing it first turn is probably easier to pull off seeding outposts rather than
They Will Be Coming. Seed
Unicomplex,
Transwarp Hub, and
Spacedoor instead of
They Will Be Coming. Card play gets Borg Tactical Cube, free play with Kolinahr, free play with
New Arrivals, free play Queen off
Unicomplex and a free
with the Cube.
We are the Borg for
Seven of Nineand your sixth crew member.
I suppose all of that can be avoided too, if you just drop a staffed
Borg Scout Vessel with the required personnel as your card play turn 1 as well.
