When this card's in play you're going to force your opponent to solve (or scout) one planet and one space mission or they'll need 40 additional points to win. Why not force them to solve the space or planet mission you want them to attempt? It's fairly easy. Most players use a four-to-two ratio of space to planet missions (in either way). Acquire and play the Tox Uthat artifact. Then play the Supernova event on either one of the missions they're playing only two of, leaving your nastiest dilemma combo under the mission that's remaining. Either they solve that mission you want them to attempt - or they'll have to score 140 points. Throw in an unsolved Q’s Planet to make it 180 points. Or, double the fun and use two Tox Uthats and two Supernovas to blow away all your opponent's missions of one type - making the 140 point barrier nearly impossible to reach!
Combo:
- The Big Picture + Tox Uthat + Supernova: Force your opponent to attempt a mission they probably don't want to!
