Card Extra Energy Vortex from Kathy McCracken (03/30/2000) |

When your opponent plays an interrupt or event that you find inconvenient, more often than not you can nullify it with Amanda Roger or Kevin Uxbridge. But other card types don't have any general counter-cards, and few specific ones. With Energy Vortex you can at least delay many non-interrupt card plays, and occasionally force your opponent into playing a card that could be very inconvenient for him. Did he just try to play his key mission-solver? Energy Vortex it back to his hand so he has to play a less desirable personnel or other card. Don't want to see that Borg Ship dilemma Retask-ed into a staffed cube? Pull Retask into an Energy Vortex. Want to stall his Regenerate for a turn? Energy Vortex. The only thing it won't stop is a card downloaded from anyplace but the hand, because it works only on cards played from the hand. If he has no other card that he can legally play, he doesn't have to play a replacement, but still can't play the Vortex-ed card. And if you're very lucky in your timing, he'll have nothing he can play except a card he'd rather not play - such as a Kevin Uxbridge when the only events on the table are his own. Combos:
