Welcome to Fill in the Blank Season 2: Chain of Command!

Each week I will post the collector’s information for one of the cards in the set’s cardlist. Contestants are free to create whatever card they see fit for that slot in the cardlist, keeping in mind the surrounding cards. As the contest progresses, the cardlist will become more and more defined, guiding the contests’ choices.

The theme of our set is Chain of Command. Not every card has to fit the theme, of course, but it’s something to keep in mind when voting. Speaking of voting, as per normal each contestant will vote for one of the previous week’s entries (with the exception that as the contest runner, I will vote ONLY in the case of a tie).

This week’s winner is… WeyounsLastClone!

The recent Mayweather submission with multiple Commander keywords gave me inspiration for this Queen. In just the one movie she ends up commanding 3 different vessels in her search for a counterpart (I threw in Borg Queen's Vessel as well because why not). Once she finds her counterparts (Data, Tempted By Flesh; Locutus; plus any other assimilated

personnel and even the Borg Dissidents (Janeway, Axum, Korok,)) they make an unstoppable team.

The way this is worded, if you execute the order, he can never get his Treachery back. Is he meant to be more like Chang?

Danny wrote:The way this is worded, if you execute the order, he can never get his Treachery back. Is he meant to be more like Chang?

Technically speaking, he would get it back when you discard a

card to execute the Order again. Chang's ability isn't really what I was going for either, it's a little too strong to change skills mid-mission. I wanted Locutus to have to commit before attempting a mission. Having said that, I'll try tweaking the timing clause.

Updated my entry as I discovered I'd missed out the word "ship" in the ability and so it made no sense. Fixed.
