This is a fun deck I threw together which makes use of Forced-Labor Camp and Bribery to complete your (or your opponent's) missions. There's only 1 mission attemptable by the Ferengi (2 if you count the homeworld with HQ: Secure Homeworld). So, you're pretty much relying on FLC & Bribery. An added bonus is the 3 Protection Rackets in the deck...that can make for some fun. ;-)

Before the game ever starts, make sure you seed the Ultimatum, download the Bajoran Wormholes, then seed DS9 at the Alpha wormhole location during the dilemma phase. Insert the Alpha wormhole fairly close to your Tower of Commerce.

On your first turn, there are several cards you should download: Morn with Cargo Bay (then download his Gold-Pressed Latinum, as well), Quark (to your hand) with QIR, Brunt to Quark's Bar with the seeded Writ and the Grand Nagus (with a GPL) with the 1st Rule of Acquisition. Make sure to walk Morn to Quark's Bar, so next turn, you're ready to draw two cards. >From then on, the deck is pretty straightforward. Use Bribery and Forced-Labor Camp to complete your missions. If you run into trouble in a certain aspect of the game, just use Protection Racket and request something of your opponent that will help you out. (You never know, they might actually comply with your request to save their personnel. :-)) For more on Protection Racket, see my article in this issue.

This is a rather large deck, but with the double card draws from Morn and cards draws coming from other cards, such as Vacuum-Desiccated Remains, you should be able to breeze through it pretty quickly.
