Duelist Pack

AviTrek

Wow. Talk about a strong pack. Voyage rank #1, #25, and #29. I can't think of the last pack with that kind of crew. It's too bad I'll probably only get 4* if I buy any packs.

In the art, I love how everyone is staring at Picard with their weapons drawn. Kudos to whoever put together the composition!

(Nice Gurney Halleck vibe as well.)

A bit of historical perspective on #1 voyager reigns (unboosted stats)

Super rare:
1/4/2018 - Torchbearer Voq (20 months on top)
9/19/2019 - Roman Captive Kirk (12)
9/24/2020 - Altan Inigo Soong (7)
4/1/2021 - Amal Chakotay (8)

Legendary:
9/25/2017 - First Officer Burnham (11)
8/14/2018 - Gary Seven (5)
1/16/2019 - Captain Braxton (34)
11/30/2021 Fencing Picard

Glad to see a new #1, hope it won't be three years until the next one. Fencing Picard is also missing a few applicable traits:

Casual: Explicitly stated in story that Picard is off duty during this scene and engaged in shore leave activities.

Captain's log, stardate 41697.9. We're en route to Sarona Eight for much needed shore leave. The entire crew is looking forward to the diversion. On a personal note, I have allowed myself the luxury of a head start.

Desperate: Also explicitly stated in story by the character. Picard loses a point to the Lieutenant (shown on screen: https://i.imgur.com/YjFj73z.png ) and attempts an unorthodox maneuver to try and recover. Also recently applied to a crew engaged in athletic contest - Racquetball O'Brien.

DEAN: Interesting move, sir, but what technique was that?
PICARD: The technique of a desperate man.

Romantic: Though most of the romantic parts of the episode play out after Picard changes out of his fencing outfit, it is the overarching theme of the episode and his arena quote is from a scene with his old flame Jenice. While he's still in his fencing attire on the bridge Troi refers to his feelings about her as "intense emotion" - https://i.imgur.com/x0hW4mz.png

TROI: Captain? Excuse me.
PICARD: Yes, what is it, Counsellor?
TROI: I think you would prefer to discuss this in private.
PICARD: That's not necessary. Go on.
TROI: When Professor Manheim's name was mentioned, you reacted with intense emotion.
PICARD: Yes. Please get to the point.
TROI: I don't want to interfere with your personal life, but unresolved strong emotion can affect judgement.
PICARD: Well, thank you for your concern.
TROI: As Ship's Counsellor, I offer my assistance.
PICARD: What do you suggest?
TROI: Confronting deep personal issues is not easy for you. You tend to suppress them. There are a few hours until we arrive. Perhaps you should use this time to analyze your feelings and put them into perspective.

Pedro Pascal meme.

This crew is good, but it could be better (if these applicable traits are there).

This Sisko1

Cool art, strong stats, all the makings of a great pack. Missed out on the pulls but I'll get him one day.

(HGH)Apollo

First pull. That’s my luck for the year.

cmdrworf

Bought 9 packs. Got 1 begold (took delta flyer paris 5th Star) one determinded paris (already FFE) and Picard on the last one. the rest was honor.

Fox Van Vox

I decided to try five packs since even if I missed Picard, the other golds were decent enough consolation. Packs two and three did not disappoint

Zombie Squirrel

Well, he‘s mostly new #1 because of his high 3rd voyages skill which is
DIP and no game changer. If you just go by main skills total of 1+2,
there are some better folks around. So if you miss out on him, no big deal.

SoupKitchen Riker

Two pulls and one Fencing Picard. Chance has smiled upon me this time.

What if it's Fencing Picard from I, Borg? In that case I don't think Desperate would apply.

I knew going in I was going to get a 4*, all of which were FF. Just didn't know which one. I got Blood Oath Jadzia.......

Sonja

I was not so lucky. I bought packs without getting Fencing Picard. Instead I got Determined Paris immortalized.

His arena quote is from We'll Always Have Paris and the art matches his stance. My first though was he might be from I, Borg too and I would have balked at the Tactician trait, since Guinan teaches him a lesson

Capn Bruiser

I was hoping for Fencing Picard but I can’t say I’m disappointed by this pull.
