Whew! Large draw deck, huh? But not to worry, simply follow these simple steps (I feel like a home renovation guide.) 1) Download your two mission specialists, and download Deactivation. This can be used to stop an all holo-deck or someone jumping the gun with Red Alert, but it's more valuable for Processing Ore with. :-) It essentially removes the only downside of Processing Ore, the discarding of a card.

2) Q's Tent for 10 and 01 if you suspect your opponent has a Computer Crash or two up their sleeves. They'll be forced to use them while you get 10 and 01 from your tent, leaving you free to download to Empok Nor when you try to.

3) Spacedoor in the universal K'Vort to the Neutral outpost which is as close to Empok Nor as possible.

4) Commandeer. Download a whole slew of weapons especially. :-)

Start processing Ore and reaping all the other myraid benefits of having your very own Klingon-controlled Nor.

Eventually, what you'll want to do is download an Alpha Attack Ship to your Neutral Outpost and tent for a Memory Wipe. Combine the two for a set of invasive transporters your Klingons can use to board your opponent's ships and pick a number of very nasty fights with all those beautiful weapons. The weapons you download from Empok Nor will give each of your Klingons strength plus 10! Never mind if you manage to get Kor or Kahlest out...

Reflection Therapy is in the tent only in the event you run across a Borg Cube. Simply beam over K'chiQ and a not-so-honorable Klingon, play Reflection Therapy on some drone skill sharing with the rest to give them Treachery. Then beam over a whole slew of angry, honorable Klingons and play Klingon Honor Challenge. Grin.

Captain's Log:

I just thought of adding this bit here. This is a little section where I can share little anecdotes about my game(s) with this deck against opponents.

I just have to say right here, that Kavok is pretty darn neat. I actually used all of his abilities in one game against a Fed opponent. They had an empty ship sitting at their outpost, so I casually reported him, downloaded Commandeer ship and made off with their Nebula. Which also came in handy as I ended up using it to attack their other Nebula when it undocked, which, combined with a good draw from my battle bridge side deck, ended up spelling a lot of trouble for my opponent. Man, it's fun being aggressive Klingons!

Possible Additions/Changes to this deck:

Smaller Draw deck It could be a bit smaller. Don't forget that you're downloading 10 cards out of it when you download for Empok Nor.
Better mission solvingI didn't usually end up solving missions until after I'd wiped my opponent off the board. Then it would be a routine of blindly throwing Klingons at dilemmas and downloading whatever I needed, recovering lost souls through the joy of the "Invincible" Process Ore capabilities of Examine Singularity. But this wouldn't be a very good attack deck if I did that, now would it?
Drop the Alpha Attack Ships Messing around with Memory Wipes and Dominion ships isnt too much fun. But using the Invasive Transporters more than makes up for the trouble IMHO.

Ways to beat this deck:

Mess up Empok Nor Commandeer it first, seed dilemmas there, block the download, whatever. Getting control of Empok Nor is a very important part of this deck. And I've noticed a very sudden resurrgence of anti-Empok tactics out there lately, so beware.
Solve missions before losing all your personnel If your opponent manages to rack up a signifigant number of points before you go over and kick the tar out of them, you might be fighting a "come from behind" victory.
Ship battle I tried to design this deck with a strong ship-to-ship battle element, but it your opponent can do it better, all the invasive transporters in the world won't help you one bit.

All in all, I was amazed at how fast this deck was to get to work. I found that by turn 5 or 6 I was already out there beating the tar out of poor defenseless Feds. :-) By turn 10-12 I could turn to solving my mission resting comfortably in the fact that my opponent wouldn't be coming back any time soon...

A Klingon's dream....
