Wesley's STCCG card of the day #54

Q'aPlaH !

Ouch, somehow I must have swapped yesterday's and today's posting, but these two are just TOO similar, because today's is:

LURSA

Personnel, Klingon, rare.
Integrity 2
Cunning 8
Strength 8
V.I.P., Treachery, Leadership, Geology, Greed, Command Star (*)
"Elder of the two Duras sisters. Plotted with Romulan Sela to start the Klingon Civil War of 2367-68."

OK, quick analysis: Four skills. Thereof one really useless (Greed, nobody needs THAT). One at best Mediocre (Geology). One OK (Treachery). One Good (Leadership). Eighteen ability points, a tad above average. Bad distribution, however. (Integrity 2 sux.) VIP classification. Ho-hum. Kurlan Naiskos, anybody? Otherwise: Forget it. (Unless they some day realize my card idea: VIP transport, then this could be worth something...) A command star. Well.

Do these skills combine well? No. Treachery + Leadership is part of the requirements for Pegasus search, but beyond? No other mission will make use of two of her skills, only one at a time.

So what's the result? A nice support card. Strength, Cunning and often a single fitting skill. However, not more. On the other hand, only two Klingon cards besides her have four skills. And only one (her sister) has five. Of course, Kurn and Kurak do have better skills.

Final evaluation: Medium-powered Klingon, but still valuable if just for lack of better cards...

Favorite combo(s):
