Habib's STCCG card of the day #17

Hello again, today is the final day of artifacts and nobody is happier than me. Anyway to finish them off, today's card is the...

VARON-T DISRUPTOR

Artifact
"Only five of these pistols were made before being banned by the Federation. These vicious weapons disrupt the body from the inside out, causing a slow and painful death."
Use as Equipment card. Doubles all of your personnel's STRENGTH where present. (Not cumulative.)

This card is okay but as far as I can see its only main purpose would be to easily get by missions and dilemmas requiring strength. In all the games I have played I have had I think only one away team battle. So I would not put this card in a deck to benefit those. It is okay for missions but I don't think it's worth wasting a space in your deck for it. Also when in play you should beware of Disruptor Overload, it can destroy the Varon-T Disruptor easily.

***CORRECTION***
Somehow there was an error in my numbering and there were two Card of the Day #15. The correct #15 was the Interphase Generator. The Vulcan Stone of Gol, labeled #15 also, was supposed to be #16. I am sorry for any confusion this has caused.

Live long and prosper,

Habib
