Card Extra Computer Crash from Kathy McCracken (07/1998) |

Tired of your opponent fouling up your battle plans by downloading a phaser rifle, or Engage Shuttle Operations and an escape vessel? Does everyone you play against keep a Dathon in his Tent so your Shakas are worthless? Want to slow down an Assign Mission Specialists deck for a crucial turn? Does the prospect of your opponent turning a Kivas Fajo - Collector into three downloads for his Borg Queen (FC) get you down? All you need is a Computer Crash. Seeded as a hidden agenda, this event can be activated in response to an attempt to play a Q’s Tent or a card that requires downloading, or in response to any attempted download (such as a special download). The card play or download is prevented (not nullified), just as though the Computer Crash had already been revealed before the attempt to play the card or download. The Q's Tent or card requiring a download would go back to the owner's hand. In some cases all you are doing is delaying your opponent by a turn. He can still play the same Q's Tent on his next turn to get Dathon (or whatever he needs). The Emissary can still download a Bajoran Wormhole next turn. Because the Computer Crash prevents even initiating these actions, the Tent is not discarded, and a special download icon is not "used up." The Borg player will still get three cards from his Kivas (though not necessarily the drones he wanted, and not downloaded into play). But in many situations the loss of a download can turn the tide of a battle, or cause a card loss or other significant problem. If he just discarded an AMS so he could play another, and attempts to download two mission specialists, you can prevent the download without the AMS being dicarded, because AMS doesn't require a download. So he just wasted an AMS. If he was counting on getting out of a battle with a Launch Portal, next turn will be too late. Combos:
