Card Extra The Art of Diplomacy from Evan Lorentz (12/04/2000) |
|
|
|
This versatile incident has three possible uses - any one of which should make it worth including in your deck. When they're all rolled together, how can you say no? First, it allows certain personnel to employ their own special brand of "Diplomacy," substituting 2 Treachery and a hand weapon for 1 Diplomacy. The fact that only Mirror Quadrant, Maquis, Resistance, and Orion Syndicate personnel get this benefit isn't all that prohibitive, as there are quite a few of those personnel to go around. Especially devious people like The Intendant and Security Chief Garak have the 2 Treachery ready and waiting without even needing to team up with anyone else. With Reflection Therapy you can make several more self-contained "diplomats" (just add a second Treachery to people like Liam Bilby, Sakonna, or Tahna Los, or add Resistance or Orion Syndicate to others like Ja’rod, the Founder Leader, or Lore). Second, these same specific personnel allow you to place a copy of The Art of Diplomacy out-of-play (limit once per turn) to kill any one personnel present. Move over Leck; if you thought once per game just wasn't enough for a nasty trick like this, you now have a new option. Finally, once per game, you can discard The Art of Diplomacy to download a hand weapon to a personnel who has 2 Treachery. That's handy for setting up the other functions on another copy of the incident, but will also do nicely in a battle-oriented deck, or just for help against dilemmas like Denevan Neural Parasites and Berserk Changeling.
