The following cards in this deck have received errata since it was last played in a tournament:

• Anhaica (2020-03-02) - Added the word "different" to his special skill to clarify that he does not work with himself or with other copies of himself.
• Holoprogram: Cafe des Artistes (2024-02-05) - Nerf. Reduced from thrice to once each turn.
• Starbase 247 (2023-05-01) - Long used as a Federation anti-battle superfortress, this loses most of its SHIELDS advantage over standard Federation outposts and no longer downloads the auto-repairing Spacedock. Lore updated ("U.S.S. Pegasus").

Draw Deck Strategy

Turn 1: Free play a TNG Fed to trigger a Continuing Mission draw. Convert the draw to download Chef to hand (Group Therapy). Card play him. Any other free play as possible. Holodeck Doors from hand or Chef to give the Outpost a Holodeck and get Cafe Des Artistes. Discard Assign Support Personnel to get Sergei and Helena, who can start drawing from Cafe immediately.

Opponent's turn: special download Nikolai.

Turn 2: Card play a ship, downloading with Attention All Hands if necessary. Fly Nikolai and Darian Wallace to the Duck Blind to get the last draw engine online.

Then just play. Yes, Group Therapy is in there just to get the draw engines working a turn earlier. Worth it? Questionable.

***NOTE: REMOVE FISSURE RESEARCH BEFORE PLAYING THIS DECK!*** I swapped it in without thinking, forgetting that These Are The Voyages removes the AU icon from my personnel and makes this mission unsolvable.

Zaldan is too risky to use, because it whiffs if there's no Diplomacy present. And, in a meta where the dominant deck is a KCA deck that relies on The Art of Diplomacy, that's a big ol' deal.
