Card Of The Week #15 - SUICIDE MISSION

DATE:

Mon 12 May 1997

TEXT:

SUICIDE MISSION
Basic Set / R
Mission / General
ASSIGN TO ANY WARRIOR. If this warrior is killed, the mission is completed. The player controlling the warrior earns Promotion Points equal to warrior's V, and 3 more if the warrior killed another warrior in its final battle.

USES:

This card is very cool. As you can see, it's kind of like insurance that if your warrior gets killed, you at least get something back. You can either take a few Promotion Points (Perhaps enough to win) or a little Destiny (to either bring out your old warrior again, or maybe a new one). And if you can manage to kill an opponent's warrior, you gain an additional 3 and, presumably, also the opposing warriors V.

COUNTER MEASURES:

This card is pretty good because there are few cards which deal specifically with missions, and most people don'y play with the few that exist, so your opponent may have a real tough time getting rid of it before you can collect.. It should be relatively easy to think of ways to counter the few methods that exist.

COMBOS:

A couple of PAP MINES (think about it) work well. Maybe a BRAINWAVE BOMB to ensure the death of the killing warrior...

RATING:

SUMMARY:

What can I say? Consider playing with FILE TRANSFER from now on...
