Open Heart Surgery
Constructed Warp Speed Deck
by Chris “Rom” Brennan
This is my Voyager-only deck from last month, modified to no longer
be Voyager-only, as an example of my Retro-fitting
Voyager Decks article. See the original
deck list for strategy; the only strategy addition is Wormholes for
a quick jump to another quadrant to harvest organs.
Summary of alterations from Voyager-only:
Instead of seeding Fair Play, I seeded Q the Ref, which can download
Fair Play if needed, or download something else more useful.
Replaced 3 Voyager dilemmas with very powerful ones from the other
sets: Dead End, Executive Authorization, FLI/Scow.
Removed another 5 dilemmas in order to seed: Q's Tent, another
QtR (in case I use the first one and still need to recycle Ref cards),
Spacedoor, Defend Homeworld (to jumpstart harvesting or get Tabor for Ancestral
Vision), and Horga'hn (just because). In this format, 16 dilemmas
are about average for a deck.
Switched the TMW for STP because I added Wormholes. Since I have
DHW for an early personnel, I don't need to download R'Mor with TMW.
Moved the following downloadable cards into the Tent:
Fair Play (from the seed deck)
Lower Decks
Organ Theft
Pendari Champion
Vidiian Boarding Claw
Vidiian Sodality
Vidiian Cruiser
I didn't move a Scout, too, since I do want some ships to play from
hand - in case I see a Caretaker's Array, or just to save the trouble of
re-opening the Spacedoor. I didn't move a Vidiian Harvester here,
since I don't mind playing a few copies from hand since it's free, and
I have more than I can download anyway.
Added these cards to the Tent:
Masaka Transformations
Villagers With Torches
The Big Picture
It's Only a Game
Vulcan Lander (To counter SI/Lockdown. DHW will get Tuvok
to staff it.)
Mirror Image
Dropped 1 copy of each ship, since I have spacedoor.
I already mentioned dropping R'Mor.
I also dropped the extra Lower Decks. I had 2 copies of the card
originally so I wouldn't waste a card from hand on a download. (Mutation
will recycle the copy I drew.) With Lower Decks in the Tent, that's
no longer an issue.
In total, that removes 9 cards from the draw deck. In their
place, I put in:
4 Revolving Doors
6 Wormholes and 1 STP
AU Door
So the deck is 3 cards bigger than before, as I finally got that 3rd
Chakotay for the deck, which will help me draw a few more cards to make
up for it.
Then I added these Ref cards to the deck. They recycle,
so I won't count them as adding to the deck size:
Temporal Vortex
Wake of the Borg
Scorched Hand
Oof!
Obelisk of Masaka
I chose these for the deck instead of the Tent because I wouldn't mind
playing them from hand if I have the opportunity.
