Hi guys,

quick question ...
The download on Organ Theft: Is it for a unique Vidiian or not?
you may report two ❖ Vidiians (or download one)
I read it as if you can either report two universal guys of download any one (including unique personnel).

The wording is more confusing than the original card. It I can only download a universal personnel, why is it not stated in the text?

If you want a quick answer to your quick questions:
Could you please have the goodness and link your cards?

So, It got the Errata in Nov 2018
Article from that period:
https://www.trekcc.org/articles/index.p ... cleID=2361

Important part:
..." The Vidiians entering play, whether downloaded or played from hand, are now limited to being universal. " ...

Same reason we don't specify "Vidiians" - commutative property.

Put another way - to read it your way, it would say you can report (a) two universal Vidiians or (b) one.

Not Vidiian, not universal, just one. :)

This reminds me of the time I got screwed over by a bullshit ruling on Pre-errata DQSS. My opponent argued - Sucessfully!- that the text of "play and/or draw up to two cards" meant play up to two cards AND draw up to two cards instead of (play and/or draw) up to two cards.

Needless to say, he won the game. I think it got fixed officially like a week or two later, but still, real feel-bad moment. :?
