The above is just a little fun we had at the last tournament this past Sunday. BenHosp played the NA Reliant and then a nerdfest broke out. I played a Tier-1 deck at a local and had to apologize after each win. I forgot how stupid the deck was and how downloading is still an epidemic in 2E. I should've never played it. So for today's GCBC you're going to get a double shot of bad. Two cards I abused the crap out of Sunday. BenHosp is right, I'm a terrible human being and probably a sociopath.
Why: I was a scumbag for playing a Quantum Filament/Rogue Borg Ship pile at a 4-person local, but I give myself a sliver of credit for using a card that nobody has ever played. It's a great combo with Rogue Borg Ship. It cost 3, so it can be abused with Subliminal Signal. Outside of that terrible stuff, it's not too bad on it's own. I can't think of too many bad matchups for it, outside Borg. Most affiliations have a good number of gold stars, usually at least 40% of the personnel. Some, like Cardassian, are super heavy on gold stars. So dig into your box of commons and dust off a couple of these.
Why: He should at least say 'once each turn'. K'Tal wasn't a problem until they made Guidance of the Council in Reflections. That created the stupid 'Klingon Download Chain'. As we know, the decks that are well above the power curve all involve downloading. Maquis didn't get silly until the new Amaros was made. Luckily, this is a known fact in Design now and future downloading hopefully will be kept to a minimum. The current downloading is still a problem. Klingon Tea Ceremony doesn't see a lot of play. Even if it hits the table, it only slows the chain down a little.
Why: You want to know why Borg and Klingon were the most abusive decks for the longest time? Energize is why. They both had a personnel who can download it (K'mtar and Fourth), and they had a card who could download that personnel (Guidance and Quintessence). What was I saying about downloads? Anyways, the only way you have a chance against either of these decks is to destroy Energize early. If not, forget about it, you simply can't keep up. Borg is even more ridiculous since the Energize never goes away with Fifth. People give newer cards like Sense of Obligation heat, they don't like it for some reason. But this game needs more quick event destruction. Anybody who doesn't like Sense needs to sit down and play one or two games against what I played Sunday. I'll make a believer out of them real quick.

Did you play your Tier-1 deck against your little girl? I bet you did dirtbag, I bet you did.
And Im writing it here so people's feelings wont get hurt and it doesnt magically dissapear.
Constance deck was the best prepared for mine. I made sure she had Mediate Peace Treaty. She also had Loaded-D and 2 Quinns. Like a true Corbett, she got greedy and tried the cadet mission with Kirk. Bad move.
