Dilemmas - why bother?

Published by Jaglom Shrek at Sat, 2007/06/09 - 09:09

Long-Small-Bannerimageimage

This Strategy-Note article was written by Stefan Slaby and was published first on "openCards".



When Jaglom asked me to write an article about the Austrian metagame, I had a really hard time, settling on which topic to cover. On the one hand, while I’m one of Austria’s top players, I didn’t simply want to write an article about my successful decks (which would have been a eulogy to the Borg, probably), but I wanted to find some strong pattern to the decks that fare best on Austrian tournaments. On the other hand I didn’t really see some speciality to our most successful decks.

But after reminiscing a few years of tournaments, I found one pattern that has been evolving since Necessary Evil, and has been essential to many otherwise totally different tournament-winning decks in Austria. I don’t really think it’s something special about the Austrian metagame, but it is my best shot. I will call it DILEMMA AVOIDANCE.

Fast, faster, Voyager

This Strategy-Note article was written by openCards user Chairman Nilva.

"Dropping the Voyager at Caretaker's Array with Janeway and Chakotay aboard". A phrase heard at every other tourney since the appearance of Captain's Log and - thus - the Voyager affiliation.

The older players among us will remember the time when Voyager came out in First Edition and the whole game was turned upside down - all the elder Alpha powers becomming unplayable seemingly over night. This mistake has not been repeated in Second Edition.

Despite being one of the most powerful affiliations in the game besides TNG-Fed, DS9-Fed, Starfleet, the Borg and since the recent expansion the Romulans with their mass discard via Gal Gath' thong, the Voyager affiliation can be defeated by any other affiliation. At least if the dilemma pile can compensate the Voyager speed advantage.
