Wesley's STCCG card of the day #117

Hi, folks,

another cheapo Rommie Commie:

VAREL

Personnel, Romulan, common.
Integrity 4
Cunning 7
Strength 5
SCIENCE, Physics, Computer Skill, Youth. Staff Star (+). Universal.
"Representative of female Romulans trained in the field of Science. Assigned to assist with Interphase Generator project."

Yawn. 4/7/5. Another one of those yelling for Thermal Deflectors or an Integrity enhancer card. Getting repetitive, isn't it ?

At least the skills are worth talking about a little. SCIENCE is one of the two classifications most decks have trouble with (Only N'Vek and Tarus have it amongst the Rommies, the former is uncommon and not universal, the latter only has one skill and a bad one, too.) Youth is WAY too common amongst the green cards to be useful, but Physics and Computer Skill are not too crap- py. Once again, Relief Mission is the key here. A nice hiding-place for an artifact you need early. So Physics comes in very handy. Apart from that, Computer Skill is the one that always gets your hair off your head when you lack it (Impassable Door). Also the only one that helps in the rare missions. A card that has a few uses when you play with mainly commons and uncommons but quickly loses its appeal once you have the rare Rommie-only missions.

Favorite combo(s):

None. A pure filler card unless playing an all-common deck.
Phil's favorite combo: Female love interest + Varel instead of Sela :-)
