    This mission may be as easy as they come. A player must go out of their way to avoid having tons of Honor in a Klingon deck, and Bat’leths are likely to figure into any aggressive Klingon strategy. Now, once all the battles have been won, solving missions will be less of a trick. Since Bat’leth Tournament is universal, it's also the perfect replacement for any of your unique missions duplicated during the seed phase, or in multiple could be the centerpiece of an entire deck design.

    Combos:

    • Bat'leth Tournament + "red-shirting": The popular tactic of sending down single, sacrificial personnel to clear out dilemmas can hardly be called "red-shirting" in this case. Every other Klingon wielding a bat'leth could solve the mission!
    • Bat'leth Tournament + Sword of Kahless + Assign Mission Specialists: Using the Sword of Kahless and one of the many Honor specialists from the Premiere set, Bat'leth Tournament is worth 40 points, as much as missions two or three times more difficult to complete.
