    		Phlox, Sadistic Physiologist

    Dumping cards out of your hand is the key to making the mirror Starfleet faction work out. It is the one thing you need (an empty hand) to make cards like Phlox, Sadistic Physiologist work to their most fiendish extent.

    We already know that Watchdog and the I.S.S. Enterprise are some of the best ways to dump those extra cards, and keep them gone, but what if you could find a way to gain even more benefit from the actual getting rid of cards?

    There's always the option of playing a dual-headquarters deck with Qo'Nos and having some Klingons in the discard pile for use with The Promiseimage. Or even combining with the mirror universe Bajorans for using Kira Nerys, Resourceful Prisonerimage. But, no I was thinking of something a little more . . . direct.

    Enter the I.S.S. Avenger, Admiral's Shipimage. Twice a turn, you can pitch a card from hand to make this bad boy attributes plus one. Boosting the range is always a good idea, and boosting the weapons up can make this ship into a true avenger indeed, with cards like Call to Armsimage helping net you points in the process of engaging your opponent's ships.

    Oh, I shall avenge you!
