    This Card-Review article was written by Bill Martinson and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)".

    Compared to premiere Data, this version has slightly lower INTEGRITY (due to that emotion chip causing him to hesitate once in awhile and the fact that he considered joining the Borg for 0.68 seconds). He also has the Enterprise-E icon, lacks Music skill and is a nemesis of Lore -- each of which can be an asset or a liability, depending on the situation. For example, the nemesis icon makes Data a target of Lore's uncontrollable aggression, but it also gives him the ability to deactivate his evil twin.

    So which version of Data do you want in your deck? How about both! Start out with premiere Data and wait for your opponent's Lore to make an appearance. Your premiere Data has no emotion chip and is safe from Lore's fury. But then you use the persona replacement rule to swap in First Contact Data and get the drop on his evil twin!

     

    Combos:
    Data (premiere) + Data (First Contact) + your Lore: Gee, so sorry to dismantle your evil android... NOT!

    Data + Fractal Encryption Code: You're trying to assimilate the Enterprise? Not on my watch!

    Data + Android Headlock: Prepared for Lore, Borg, Rogue Borg, holograms, Jem'Hadar...
