I make no claims about the quality of this deck.  Basically, I didn’t have time to build anything, so I took this old deck and said “you know, this won a tournament back in January.  It should be OK.”  Of course, way back in January, I think I showed up at that tournament half an hour early and threw this together on the spot….  Oh, who cares, it played well enough.  (see my tournament report.)  And as I often say, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.

        The strategy is to sit back and let the speed decks make the first move, then jump on them with a well-timed attack.  Wormholes help here, as does HQ:DM against other Romulans.  Once they’ve been crippled, you can go after your own missions.  Ambushes help finish off ships and that can really help defend against an armada.  Spacedock is useful for defense, too.
        Hold the DHW download until you need it, in case you’re missing a key skill.  If you have a GTTT early, go for Vreenak and get the Advanced, otherwise get a normal D’deridex 1st turn in case you need it quick.
        Not everyone owns 5 DHBC, but Klim Dakachin can be just as effective.  Klim just doesn’t give you Fajo Gallery draws.  (Though I guess you could drop the Gallery and seed another QtR for an Obelisk to make up for the few lost draws.)
        The Q’s are NOT for bypassing (not that I passed up the opportunity ;-) but rather to seed under missions the opponent will jump on early in the game to rearrange the spaceline, making their life very difficult.  If they have the requirements for Q, just use Beware of Q to get rid of it.
        Goddess of Empathy is for DRGS.
        Never hesitate to steal a mission if you can Brainwash the right person.  Also, use Ambush and Brainwash to go after skills you need, even at the expense of skipping Fajo's Gallery draws.
