We're going to do things backwards today in GCBC. Go with the bad card first, then the good one. We'll continue going back set-by-set and pick two from Peak Performance. Or as I like to call it.... "The Worst F*CKING set every made." I had something smart to write about today, but my youngest kid learned how to climb on the kitchen table and got ahold of some on my cards. So I'm a little pissed off. Luckily the casualties were light. Ironically, most of the hits were former "bad cards". A Legacy and Excaliban Drama among them. That baby sure hates bad dilemmas.
Bad Card: Superior Position
Why: Sure, Cardassians got an awesome cheater a few sets before, Central Command. But that doesn't mean throw them a clunker here. First part, save a guy from dying. Hmmm, I have about 20 other options for doing that. Second part, get a dead guy and put him on top of my deck. Hmmm, that sucks, I have to wait until my next turn to draw/play him. So that's like paying +1 for him. I just don't need it, when I play Cardassian I usually stock 3 copies of my best personnel. "Pimp Dukat".... x3, check. "Dirty Evek"......x3, check. Bottom line, the 2nd function is a crappy late-game function and the first part is hardly a good enough early-to-midgame function to make up for it.
Good Card: Unrelenting
Why: Now I'm confused. Borg already had plenty of help. Hell, they are still miles ahead of Cardassians, even with Central Command. So I don't get how they get a interrupt that is 100 times more awesome than Superior Position. I guess they thought the cost (stopping a personnel you command but do not own aboard a Borg ship) would be tough, but it's not. When I play assimilation, more than 1/2 the time I assimilate more then one personnel in a single shot. So once you have two guys you can play a string of Unrelenting and snag three guys. Oh, and I get to chose who I want! Wow! They probably just went with that because they didn't have any more text space for "randomly select". That how bad of a set Peak Performance is. What's that? Oh yeah, I forgot about the first function, a Borg Amanda Rodgers. That's a fantastic late-game function. I love playing Borg assimilation, but when a build already has the best cheater in history, Knowledge and Experience, you don't go and design them another awesome card.
