Khan Noonien Singh

In Trek, as in any game, your style of play will affect your game as much as anything else. If you are a timid player, unwilling to take risks, then you will have timid, riskless games. I figure, "it is only a card game... why not be bold?" If you do not know how to be bold, just take a few notes from the newest version of Khan Noonien Singh. He becomes the corresponding Commander of each of your unique ships he steps aboard; that gives you some interesting options.

Now, you might wonder what kind of situations are beneficial when you have a corresponding Commander aboard your ship. Well, if you are using Mission Accomplished, your opponent will have to kill both of your corresponding Commanders to prevent you from gaining points. With Khan in your deck, you can double your chance of having a corresponding Commander in your opening hand and making use of all the cards that trigger off of it. For example, Running a Tight Ship; sure it is unique now, but every little bit helps. If you prefer battle, then you would find Standing Your Ground more available.

Then, let's not forget that this is Khan Noonien Singh, the genetically-enhanced egomaniac himself. He gives you a gold star to staff the ship he wants. He can use his skills of Engineer, Programming, and 2 Treachery in a plethora of useful ways. Finally, his attributes of Integrity 2, Cunning 8, Strength 8 let you know he can do what is necessary to command your ship. At three cost, he is not that expensive to play.

Live long, prosper, and be bold.
