Wesley's STCCG card of the day #57

Hi, folks,

ya waiting for a ROMULAN? Gee, that's just what I wanted to do...:

MIROK

Personnel, Romulan, uncommon.
Integrity 3
Cunning 8
Strength 7
SCIENCE, ENGINEER, Astrophysics, Physics, Staff Star (+).
"Scientist in charge of developing and testing the Interphase generator in 2368."

IMHO, this one is better than Sela or any other Romulan. Not only does he have a dual classification, but two rather useful skills as well. SCIENCE and ENGINEER nicely fit each other, there are a few Dilemmas that require both. Astrophysics can be used with four of the Romulan missions, two of them being Romulan only and one even requiring TWO of this skill. Physics fits only one of the Romulan missions, but try this in a surprise espio- nage deck (try heaping point Dilemmas under an opponent's mission then attempt it yourself with an espionage card.) He comes in handy for this strategy, as he will not only supply ENGINEER, SCIENCE, Cunning and Strength towards the dilemmas but can help snatch the mission away with the Physics, too.

Best suited for space missions, however. Those Firestorms suck and there aren't that many planet missions with Astrophysics...

Favorite combo(s):

Try this once: Mirok + Vekor + Roga Danar. Under opponent's space mission (I prefer Survey Mission, but that's a matter of taste), seed: Barclay's disease [10], Crystalline Entity [5], Nanites [5], Cosmic String Fragment [5], Tarellian Plague Ship [5], Sarjenka [5]. 35 Points for almost free. No risk involved. Add to it a Dr. Reyga, Romulan PADD and Temporal causality loop [5] and complete the mission on your next turn. 75 points with just four personnel !!!!!
