Nanoprobe Resuscitation
Plays once every turn to return top card of your discard pile to hand. If it is a Personnel card and you have any Characteristics: manipulate your discard pile. Card logging info: Logged by openCards team at May 1st, 2009. |  |
Borg in play, you may report it to that Borg's location.

Similar to Res-Q
and Palor Toff - Alien Trader
, Nanoprobe Resuscitation offers various retrieval possibilities. Granted, you can only dig up the top card of your discard and this only once every turn. Remember, however, that Nanoprobe Resuscitation can retrieve any card type, including personnel, without it costing you a card play like it would when playing Res-Q.
What makes this card a real gem is the last line of game text. Very easy to pull off for any Borg player indeed. Don't fret, other affiliations should have just as much fun reporting the dead if they have Seven Of Nine (whom you can download with Quark's Isolinear Rods
) in play. Ready to manipulate your discard pile to get your personnel into play faster? This gives you another interrupt-based means to report one personnel card every turn, leaving your card play open to a drawing mechanism. Nanoprobe Resuscitation doesn't care about titles or skills, as long as it's the top card of your discard pile. Report those personnel where you need them the most by moving your 
Borg around.
Where you used to see the discard aspect of mechanisms such as Process Ore
, Spacedoor
, Mutation
, and The Power
as a cost, you'll now embrace it because you've already got that Nanoprobe Resuscitation in hand to turn it into a benefit. Surprise your opponent by discarding Dr. McCoy
or First Officer Spock
, only to report them seconds later. Don't even worry about The Next Emanation
as you're discarding straight from your hand.
Combos:
- Nanoprobe Resuscitation + your Seven Of Nine + opponent's killer dilemma (such as Tarellian Plague Ship
): Back before you know it! - Nanoprobe Resuscitation + opponent's BBSD dedicated to wiping out a certain classification or skill: Opponent giving up on that ploy soon enough.
- Process Ore + Nanoprobe Resuscition + Kivas Fajo - Collector
+ Barzan Wormhole
+ Mutation: Draw 7 cards, report 1 personnel to Borg's location, drop a ship (with up to four cards aboard), and ready to use Nanoprobe Resuscitation on your opponent's turn.
