Card Extra

Temporal Vortex from Evan Lorentz (01/1998)

See picture of Temporal Vortex.

 

As future expansions unveil more time locations, this card will only grow more useful. Even now, there's still plenty of reasons to use Temporal Vortex. It will get a Borg player to the Montana Missile Complex for either of the time-disrupting Borg objectives, or return a non-Borg player's personnel to the present if they were forced to report there. Temporal Vortex will buy you precious time against two of the nastiest dilemmas out there: Borg Ship and The Sheliak. It will also frustrate your opponent's abuse of Distortion of Space/Time Continuum. Don't forget the ability of the Queen’s Borg Sphere to download this card for immediate use at its location.

Combos:

  • Temporal Vortex + Montana Missile Complex + Stop First Contact: Complete scouting in the present, and get a probe draw rigged and ready. You can go to the past, disrupt Earth's history, and be back before the Vortex closes.
  • Temporal Vortex + opponent's Sheliak / Q: The 3 countdown is plenty of time to get out of this popular (and deadly) dilemma combo.
  • Temporal Vortex + your Sheliak / Q: Keeps your opponent from using Distortion of Space/Time Continuum to get out of the same combo.
