Brain Drain Crusher and Riker - I Need a Ruling (This is Intended to be Fun)

As some of you know already and everyone who reads this will learn, from day 1 of my STT career I have steadfastly refused to own any 5* Riker cards. Every time I get a copy I airlock it instantly and I avoid taking 5* Rikers in begolds. However, the introduction of the new Brain Drain Crusher and Riker has me in a pickle because it is a 5* card and Riker is on it, but it is also a Crusher card and it seems to me the card is poking fun at Riker which is in line with my status as a Riker heckler.

I can make a strong case to not collect this card on Riker grounds but I can also make an equally strong case to collect this card on Crusher/Riker-teasing grounds so I decided to open this up to a poll for fun to see what the people have to say! Please vote and explain your reasoning in the comments :) (Again, this is not serious, have fun with it)

    I have a vague memory of that episode. Without watching it again. I think keep it. Consider it a Crusher card as you said making fun of Riker.

    For me Riker was someone that could have easily been left out of the series.

    I may try to find that episode this weekend and watch it,

    Edit: I realize now what I am thinking of is the straw wrapper being blown at him. Not sure if that happened. If it did I think Troi does it too.

    Edit2: Now that I look at that picture and see it as Scott mentioned. I am thinking (the opposite way) it is a new way of doing a b*** j**. I guess this would make Riker an air head.

    Edit3: now that i understand the card. I have to say most certainly keep it. Riker's brain has been drained. So how could it be a Riker card.

    Crusher is named first so say it is a Crusher card Also you could just freeze and forget it later.

    Wow, you're even taking this out on his father. What did the Alaskan Rikers do to you? Did one of them perform a Riker Maneuver in your presence without your consent?

    I refuse to take that one 5 🌟 Riker if he is in a BeGold until they realize that sexual assault is NOT "Romantic", regardless of the gender of the victim......

    I'd say Keep it. It mainly a Crusher card with a splash of Riker on the Rocks.

    Sigh...good luck getting THAT out of your head now...... :s

    I took forensics and I'm a farm kid. That didn't phase me. I found a rat mummy in my cathouse yesterday and picked it up before I realized what it was. Thought it was a piece of string Louie had lost behind a box. Nope. Tail.

    It's a chicken house on one end and a cat house on the other. What else do you call it? So as not to upset overly sensitive people>
    A **tsk tsk** parlor? A moggie manor?
    I have no filter. It is what it is- A cathouse, population fourteen, including the new babies. Calleigh's are chubby little things. Rory has a trouble maker. It tries to escape at two days old.

    Fair enough, some people just want everyone to sit down in their chairs one way. I’m sure you’re more of a Picard Maneuver guy anyways.

    If it doesn't have "Gambler", can you really call it a Riker card?

    At least it doesn't have "Romantic", like the other Riker card where she inappropriately abused him and their "friendship"......
