    This powerful interrupt literally lets you turn any Founder into any other Founder. You have a Kira Founderimage in play, but your opponent is Romulan and you want to infiltrate his crew? Play Shape-Shift, discard Kira Founder and download Lovok Founderimage in her place. Or maybe O'Brien Founderimage is in your hand and Founder Leaderimage is in play - and right now, you need O'Brien Founder's ENGINEER skill to solve a mission. Shape-Shift the Founder Leader back into your hand in exchange for O'Brien's double. Another Shape-Shift gets back your Founder Leader when you're done.

    Combos:

    • Shape-Shift + any Founder in play + a Tent full of Founder lookalikes: Download exactly the infiltrator you need to match your opponent's affiliation.
    • Opponent's Affiliation Romulan mission + Espionage: Dominion on Romulanimage + Lovok Founderimage + Shape-Shift + any other Founder: Lovok Founder lets you play the Espionage card for free, but his skills may not be what you need to solve the mission. Get your free Espionage, then morph him into the Founder who has skills that you need.
    • Shape-Shift + any Founder in your crew: You just hit Isolinear Puzzleimage with only one ENGINEER aboard and you're sure the next dilemma will be Abandon Ship!image Shape-Shift your Founder into O'Brien Founder to nullify the Puzzle before you turn over that next dilemma.
