Ok some of the cards for this deck are tuff to come by but if you have the C4 Soldier of Fortune you can sub for the others.

The general idea of this multi player only deck is to get the SOF into play on a ship w/a low converted engaement cost and let your opponents blast each other to kingdom come w/your fleet

for those of you unfamil;ier w/the C4 SOF,what he does is allow your opponents to pay the engagement cost of your ship and to fire its weopons

For a main race I like to use Treglean as they have a lot weapons,low

engagement and can be used w/the SOF,for minor use the smallelest  Tranoan ship you can steal(the patrol ship is a best buy)and S6 Lone Wolf command cruisers(very low engagement high fire power)

the tranoan is what you want in your reserve stock the deck w/lots of phaser'adders"so that your opponents can blast each other w/time phasers.Other good cards for this deck are any E or C that lowers the engagement cost of your Tregllian or lone wolf ships so that other SOFs can be used cheaply by your opponents

You obviusly havent been playing multi player in a while,often what happens is other players will use defencive cards to protect my time phasers

In the 10 or 15 times Ive played this deck it works like crack,you especially will get help from players who are on the downword side,it gives them possibly the only firepower they might have,combind with the fact that mostly Im doing it w/ Tranoan patrol ships that pop right out,other players get miffed the first couple of times they dont get to use it,yes its harder to keep my Tregllians alve but on Tranoan

patrol ships it works like a charm

as an added bonus you get lots of people firing at the time origin which is firepower not directed aat you

Granted in a 8-12 player game this would probobly get you killed in the 5-6 player enviornment that Im playing in its a killer

I just remmbered one hilarios game where one player tried to organize the 'just say no to crack''We have to all agree not to use them'

then of course he used them
