    Ops: Mirror Universe

    This Card-Review article was written by Michel M. Albert and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Nov 8th, 2000.

    You step through the looking glass... everything seems familiar, but... not. Looks like good old Deep Space 9 / Terok Norimage, looks like good old Opsimage... but it's not. It's better! In the Mirror Universe, Ops has been modified so as to allow -icon personnel to report more easily despite belonging to different affiliations, like a mini-treaty that only affects reporting. So even if Mirror Nors are essentially Cardassian, all Alliance personnel can report there. And the Terrans have the commandeered side of the Mirror Terok Nor where they can do the same. Like regular Ops, you can download cards to this station's sites. As long as they have the right icon, no one will mind if they're Bajoran, Cardassian, or Klingon. With a lot of powerful Mirror opposites, those downloads become very interesting indeed: dig through your deck for The Intendent, Regent Worfimage, or the Mirror Defiant (MM), no problem. Emblem cards are probably a good idea if you want to make all those personnel cooperate, of course ;-). And if your opponent didn't really figure on your using the Mirror spaceline, you probably have far less to fear from commandeering here.

    Combos:

    • Ops: Mirror Universe + Overseer Odoimage + Process Oreimage: Quick ore processing in the Mirror Universe with this chain of downloads. You're ready to go in the time it takes for Odo to walk from Ops to the Ore Processing Unitimage.
    • Ops: Mirror Universe + Alternate Universe Doorimage or Space-Time Portalimage: Cheap downloads of OS personnel like First Officer Spockimage and his crewmates!
    • Ops: Mirror Universe + Mirror Terok Nor + Quark's Barimage + Daboimage: Your own downloaded Dabo wheel where your Alpha quadrant opponent doesn't dare play, and if processing ore here, a great way to put cards you don't want back in your deck to good use.
