Subject: Wesley's STCCG card of the day #371

Hi, folks,

in honor of my recent ISOWC game, here's another card that was in that
deck inspired by the Ja'Rod COTD ;-)

MOGH
Personnel, Klingon, 2PG
Integrity 8
Cunning 6
Strength 9
V.I.P., SECURITY, Leadership, Honor x2, Computer Skill, Archaeology,
Music.
Command Star (*), AU icon. 
"Father of Worf and Kurn. Followed the traitor Ja'rod to Khitomer,
suspecting him of conspiring with Romulans. Rumored to have survived the
massacre."

Um, six skills, including Archaeology, Honor, Music and Leadership ?
Didn't we see this before, but in a really different color ? Right, of
course. Our good old bald Captain Picard himself.
And we will also have to take into account another card when comparing
Mogh, the other big red AU guy - Governor Worf who shares the double
Honor and the two classifications with Mogh. All three cards also have
an attribute total of 23, so they compare even better as we can leave
this factor out of the equation (only a very minor disadvantage for
Governor Worf who suffers from his odd Cunning when facing Hunter Gangs)
Okay, now that we're here, let's notice that Gov. Worf and Mogh don't
really compete, in fact they work together very well, especially when
Wormhole Negotiations is concerned. Each of them has two Honor, thus
they can join forces and form the first red two-person team to solve
that mission (The Feds could do it from the beginning with Sarek and
Picard). Where they start differing is when you are trying to build a
deck that tries to win by solving only two missions. Wormhole is an
obvious choice for one of them (add some point Dilemmas), and your deck
should primarily focus on Honor. Have one of the two in a Cryo at
Wormhole depending on what your secondary mission is. If you go for
Pegasus search, don't even bother with the Interphase Generator, stuff
Gov. Worf and Zon into the Cryo and leave that Artifact slot for a BGB
or Horga'Hn. If you prefer Hunt for DNA, stock the Cryo with Mogh,
Rasmussen and a BGB to make sure you can get Koroth. Either way, a solid
two-mission deck. Or do what I did, stock Mogh, Zon and a Naiskos and
use a Borg ship (plus a Barclay's Disease) to make a one-mission deck.
So much on the red guys. And Picard ? He's really being outclassed here.
His Diplo is present on so many other cards (even as a x2) and
Navigation in't that rare either. But Computer Skill is a solid support
skill that 
surprisingly often lacks in streamlined personnel selections and the
SECURITY means that Mogh has a meaningful classification. I would not be
too amazed if Mogh soon becomes the most sought-after 2PG card. 

Favorite combo(s):

- Mogh + Cryosatellite in various variants for instant mission support 

- Mogh + Kahlest + Dr. Reyga + Nu'Daq: Any skills *not* present ? ;-)
