Habib's STCCG card of the day #9


Greetings fellow ST:CCG fans and players and welcome to another exciting edition of Habib's Card of the Day. I just got back from my annual ski vacation to Vail, Colorado and that's why I didn't post for a week. Well now I'm back and will write again. This week will be REALLY exciting because today is the start of ARTIFACT WEEK!!!! This week I will review all of the artifacts. I will start with one of my favorites...

BETAZOID GIFT BOX

Artifact
"Traditional device for presenting important gifts. Its sculpted face comes to life boisterously presenting its contents to the recipient."
Immediately look through your draw deck for up to thirty seconds and choose three cards to place in your hand. Reshuffle draw deck and discard artifact.
This is a great card to have. It lets you get the cards you need right away. If you have a Palor Toff in your deck, you can take that as one of your three cards and then you can get another three. To get this out fast place it under a really easy mission and put your outpost there. Then you can get it fast and get the cards you need to win out right away. This makes for some quick wins.

One thing you can do is first be sure to have a couple of Palor Toffs in your deck. Use them on the gift box a bunch of times so you have all the cards you need to win. With the gift box make sure at least one of the cards is Raise the Stakes. You can take more if you want. Because you'll almost win for sure anyway, you don't have to worry about losing cards. Play a Raise the Stakes on your next turn. Your opponent will probably give up because they know they will lose. If they don't give up, you get a free card (every time unless you really suck).
