I've been struggling with how to play this affiliation now that their signature draw/download engine is gone. Big Borg is dead and there has yet to be a new archetype for this deck.

What has worked for you when you build New Borg?

Speed pile that I cribbed from Matt Frid and updated with a few tweaks. Fairly lightweight, yet most of the magic is there, with Observation Drones to cycle it all back in. Playing with the 2-cost Queen takes a lot of the calculus out of fiddling with Drone swap tricks. I think a couple UDs would fill out the deck nicely, as there were a few rough dilemma draws. But I felt like it had enough grease with 3x Requisitions Drone… I could see adding 3x Severed Link to put it at 45 total perhaps.

I am no Borg expert but tried a Interlink / Back to Basics recycling deck. I used The Trial Never Ended to keep using Back to Basics and Observation Drone to cycle events.

When I played well it was a decent deck, but more often than not I screwed it all up and forgot to do something.

I've always played small-ish Borg (40-52 cards). I haven't really done much with them since fifth got nerfd, but I always run quite a few unique drone, and get U0 out for extra counters (in addition to drone and AWBlast).

My assimilator did some good cleaning up at last year's NACC.

I've built your assimilator for internal testing and I've been quite impressed with it.

Yeah, once you get a number of games with it, you can take it pretty far. I played it at '14 NACC After not having played it since 2010 (if not previous to that). That was, back in 2008-2009, my Showcase deck type (always small, and once it got set up, Fast at the kill). New cards like Unrelenting have given it even more teeth (Note, I don't really look at Harvest Drone as an option anymore, due to the high cost and lack of Fifth/ Energize to play him for cheap. He Just clogs things up and slows me down).

I haven't had any success. Every deck that I think is good ends up having too many verbs in your hand in the middle of the game while you are frantically drawing for Locutus while getting hammered by Gomtuus -- or lack of any other key personnel/ships.
