Card Extra

Quantum Slipstream Drive from Joeri Hoste (09/07/2001)

In an environment where versatility is everything, every card counts. Card economy is crucial in any current deck, so why would you ever want to use two cards if a single card features a similar function? Quantum Slipstream Drive surpasses a pair of Wormholes in more ways than one. Granted, by itself it might cost you your card play while a pair of Wormholes won't. Honestly though, between free reporting, card draws converted to downloads and mechanisms such as Delta Quadrant Spatial Scission, few decks depend on their normal card play. Besides: it plays for free on the U.S.S. Dauntless (if you want more Slipstream than the special download offers).

Mind you, Quantum Slipstream Drive is the only card that will get your ships in gear in the Voyager environment. Surf those Slipstream eddies to get at the location you want, whether it's to escape assimilating Borg, harvesting Vidians, or boarding Kazon, or just to get at that last mission you need to win the game.

Combos:

  • Quantum Slipstream Drive + U.S.S. Dauntless: To boldly go... to another quadrant or another spaceline location without a card play or clogging up your hand.
  • Quantum Slipstream Drive + Transwarp Conduit: Double your range, move up to half of it, and still get to use the benefits of the Slipstream.
  • Quantum Slipstream Drive + Distortion Of Space/Time Continuum + Quantum Slipstream Drive: Use the Slipstream fast-track, solve that mission or thwart your opponent's plan, reboot your engines, and make a fast getaway.
