Is there an easy way to get her out early? other than the "put 10 of them in your deck" option.

Can't In the Bag or Shape Shift with her because of he special skill
Can't RRD because she isn't a matching commander
no Security so no Defend Homeworld

Well the intent was no easy route to download, but I’m sure someone will find a cool way to do it…

I know people forget this, but Q's Tent is still a thing. Best way to get an early game card reliably if that card can't be downloaded by any of the usual suspects.

Hey it's not the "run 10 copies in the deck" option! :D

Unless you count the 10 copies of Q's Tent in the deck to ensure you draw one of those instead?

Well, really, it's ten copies of all thirteen (13) different cards. That's good value.

Don't forget the constant answer to any question in 1E:

You can do X by using You Will in Time or Protection Racket to request that your opponent let you do X and hope they comply.

You got a Dominion Nor to Ops Download her to?

I mean, Empok Nor would allow you to set it up pretty easily for a turn 2 Ops/GQ Download assuming you can commandeer on turn 1, so it's possible, but it's hardly automatic.

Besides, you'd want Nor/Guest Quarters for your Turrel download on turn 1 before you flip your treaty over.

Throw a couple Life's Simple Pleasures in the deck. If you don't get her early, DL her, if you do, draw three cards!
There is no shortage of quickly playable males in [Car] / [Dom] decks, that's for sure.

I always tell my students that I love when the questions answer themselves. (Also, that's a nice little trick.)

How often you gonna have a non-sausage fest crew in a [Car] / [Dom] deck to actually get the draws? That's gotta take some work.
