Also, I voted for Khan. I think someone's sitting on awesome Khan tech, waiting to bust it out.

Would Equinox be included in the "Voy" label? Curious as to why Relativity got its own poll place.

Relativity's restrictive rules mean that it's not really apt to put it under to Voy heading.

I'm surprised to see so few votes for the Bajorans, especially after all the concern right after the release of Return to Grace. Does anyone think there is a lurking Bajoran power deck out there, or did the recent errata to Covenant take all the wind out of their sails?

I think your premise is flawed. I didn't vote for a Bajorans because at this point I WOULDN'T consider them a dark horse BECAUSE of RtG. The Bajoran rocket ship might have gotten shot down (at least until MVB finds another way to break it) but Bajorans are GOOD regardless. I would not at all be shocked if someone took Bajorans far into this championship...

Going back to the topic of 2E, I'm not surprised to see Cardassians as one of the top vote getters; they have long been a "dark horse" favorite pick of mine to do well at Worlds. I know they've showed up a few times, but they have some nice new toys now and I think they could make a splash if piloted by a skilled player.

I don't think Cardassians will receive a lot of play. They pretty much rely on Central Command against an attrition dilemma pile -- which if fine for locals, but tends to not be great at higher level events where people are prepared with interrupt prevention. They also have pretty limited kill prevention and easily get two chops from the Guillotine.

Of all the top players attending, none are Bajoran players (or Cardassian players). I think you win big events playing what you know -- or by breaking something

No votes for Borg? It wouldn't be a surprise if all the chicken littles were wrong and the sky didn't fall in on The Collective?

Two years ago at GenCon was 3rd and 4th, only beaten out by a near-broken deck and Neil's unsual slutbag deck.

Now I can see not considering me a "top player" (Out for a year, and MIA in 2014), but there's no need to insult Van Breeman.

(Sykes Time Machine) And nobody has had the stones to play speed at major events since Len and I back in the day. Even Ray Linton crushed a Day 1 with thanks to my help.

Cardassians just aren't really playable at high-level events as long as decks like Romulans can easily download a copy of Rescue Captives. Cardies need a way to safeguard their captives, then they can be competitive.

I added a vote for because why not.

The best Cardassian decks aren't capture-heavy for that reason, Number One and Markus Whatever are others -- sorry TK you can't GPT them. Better to just use Corbin Entek and get an event out of it.

Only 2 people picked this one right. Wow.
