    		Gowron of Borg

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

    In a parallel universe, the glorious Klingon Empire was threatened as never before when Gowronimage himself was assimilated as a counterpart by the Borg. When you use him in your deck, you get very impressive STRENGTH and four skills not available on any drone, including the all-important Diplomacy. You get a ready-made counterpart to use on the Klingon homeworld (Expose Covert Supplyimage), and an attack/defense bonus to make even the battle-hungry Klingons think twice about coming your way.

    Of course, if your opponent doesn't seek you out, you can always hunt them with Gowron's special skill. Once per game, Gowron of Borg allows his hive to initiate battle regardless of current objective. Now you can threaten your opponent into huddling near their facility without even using A Change of Plansimage and Eliminate Starshipimage. Even while you're working to scout one objective, you can destroy one of your opponent's ships with your Cube, then return to scoring points with half your opponent's personnel properly dealt with.

    Combo:

    • Borg Queenimage + Locutus of Borgimage + He Will Make an Excellent Droneimage + Gowron of Borg + Kurlan Naiskosimage: If you convert Locutus to a drone, select CIVILIAN for the Queen's skill, and add Gowron to a Cube staffed with MEDICAL, SCIENCE, SECURITY and ENGINEER drones, you'll have a working Kurlan Naiskos. And that ship gets one chance to initiate a battle. How about using WEAPONS of 72 to destroy one of your opponent's facilities?
