    If you thought you were safe from the delaying tactics of the Radioactive Garbage Scowimage at your planet missions, think again. Now your opponent doesn't have to trip a scow and tow it to your planet mission to prevent you from attempting it; he can seed it there and let you encounter it yourself, and lose a female Away Team member to boot. Of course, the delay in the mission attempt is only half your worry in constructed deck play, where Destroy Radioactive Garbage Scowimage can take out your unprotected Away Team.

    In Warp Speed sealed-deck format, this combo is a natural to seed at your opponent's outpost mission. Whether it's his space mission with a built-in outpost or a planet with a normal seeded outpost, it will be the most convenient for him to attempt first. The combo will help ensure that the mission is not so convenient for him to solve first. In addition, if he seeds one of the female-containing dual-personnel cards at the outpost and uses her to attempt the mission, there's a good chance he'll lose that important mission-solver.

    Combos:

    • Matriarchal Societyimage + Female's Love Interest & Garbage Scow: Guarantee that there will be a female Away Team member to whisk away to the farthest planet.
    • Male's Love Interestimage + Alien Abductionimage + Female's Love Interest & Garbage Scow: After losing three personnel, how long will it take to scrape up two ENGINEERs to tow that scow away, solve the mission, and retrieve the "abducted" personnel?
    • Hologram Ruseimage + Duonetic Field Generatorimage + Female's Love Interest & Garbage Scow + Destroy Radioactive Garbage Scow: Trap a good-sized Away Team on the planet and then destroy the scow to kill them all.
