-Howdy. Krebiz, with the cards i have and have seen, aren't bringing anything to the table to give them an advantage over Argonian or any other generic race. I suppose there *might* be something out there that is accessible and capitalizes on the joining/separation thing with their ships, but i haven't seen it.

They do have race-specific equipment which helps, but being bland and having ships that don't bring anything to the table that makes them more attractive would lead to few decks built around them when compared to Scorpead, POT, Tufor, etc that have card rules and game mechanics that give them a bit more flavor with a competitive advantage.

As for my favorites, i have enjoyed being beaten by most every race, but the J'xar are the ones i hate most. The reaction to return to hand sucks. Granted, we were not playing it quite right a few times an di lost cards in play i shouldn't have, but those isolated cases didn't/wouldn't chang ethe outcome. Tough to make them go away with the decks i brought to the table.

For me to play, there isn't a race i really rank lower than the rest. Then again, i've only played decks using Infected, P.O.T., Dragon, Mechad, little bit of Clydon in the Reaction Deck, and general Indirigan. All of those i didn't mind, what made those more or less enjoyable tended to be the other cards i put around them and if the deck as a whole fell flat or actually showed something for at least a turn or two.....Lobo
