With today's addition of the Changeling trait to Thrax, will we discover he is indeed Odo by the end of the mega event?! Fun little mystery. I like this twist.

An Odo that never experienced liberation from the Cardassians could be a very different Odo. Imagine if he'd encountered the Founders during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. That's who this guy could be.

You mean like Admiral Picard, who was drawn from Riker's imagination? Or like Benny Russell and his compatriots at Incredible Tales?

Would be an interesting character study but DS9 has always implied that this would mean the wormhole was never discovered. On the other hand, Timelines, who knows what would happen eventually, yada yada yada.
Thanks to the Prophets’/Pah-Wraith’s various abilities, I’m not as certain that the Incredible Tales crew weren’t necessarily from an alternate universe rather than just a figment of Sisko’s imagination.
You’ve got me on Admiral Picard, though.
Agreed. It has become a rather tiresome request. Let's at least wait for the (probably) terrible stats to be released and then we can all break out our torches and pitchforks for another fun round of "Why, DB, why?!" I stocked up on popcorn.
We still don't know if he will be an Odo variant. This certainly can be a step toward that, but until it is confirmed it is only speculation.
I'm one of those that has not cited, and I wouldn't say I'm regretful. There is nothing wrong with a very good 4/5 crew. I plan on playing a bit of pack roulette at the end of the mega with those discounted packs to see if I can snag his last copy. In the meantime, I got to put my saved Honor toward a card I know I will definitely use regularly and was always going to cite no matter what, Mirror Stamets.
I assume you guys are both talking about doubling him up, which is different from citing
Citing can obviously still be done and there wouldn't be any fallout of not citing him originally
This Mega Event is not the episode in question. Technically, a Changeling Thrax is actually a Timelines Original.........
Well said. Now I'm wondering if Thrax was supposed to be added to the Original collection, rather than Bashir.
That might be what happened. It makes more sense. Since Bashir even has the shankbar.......
I thought the exact same thing.
We'll stop when they follow through!!!!!

As "Thrax" did change shape during the episode, giving him the Changling trait is appropriate, if we are looking at the card being the "Thrax" from the episode and not the Thrax who served before Odo as Chief of Security. If the card is intended to be the flesh-and-blood version of Thrax, then the Changling trait is wrong.
Okay. The Thrax in the Mega Event got the Changeling Trait after the first Event was over, because he was revealed to be a Changeling taking the place of the real Thrax.
In the DS9 episode, Thrax was never really there. Odo's subconscious was manifesting the Chief of Security on Terok Nor as Odo's predecessor, because Odo was suppressing the memory of his involvement in the arrest and execution. Thrax was never a Changeling in the episode, because Thrax was never there when the events happened. "Thrax" could "shapeshift", because "Thrax" was really Odo........
Except that that Thrax was never Thrax. It was an illusion in an "edited" memory. In no way has anything in the Event dialog said that the Thrax holding prisoners was Odo pretending to be Thrax. It said he turned out to be "a Changeling". Are you saying they all look alike? Because that is a little Specist......
In this case, I hope Thrax is only added to the "Timelines Originals" collection if he is drawn dramatically different from any images of him from the show. It should be readily apparent to the players at any time that a particular card is an "original." Preferably in both title and art, but at the very least in the art.
