The ten-second pick check

4 questions

Ask them in this order.

What does the card actually require?

Early guidance: read the exact condition before treating a preview card as a payoff. Federation, dilemmas and station ask for different support.

Can the deck cast it?

Early guidance: count the colored mana needed and the turn when the card should matter. A preview alone does not establish a color pair's strength.

What does station cost this turn?

Early guidance: tapping an available creature can advance a Spacecraft, but also changes your attacks and blocks.

How much is still unknown?

No reviewed pick order or measured win rates are available. Recheck the complete gallery and prerelease guidance before committing to a draft plan.

Check your crew's types

Federation rewards creature-type variety among non-Borg creatures. Early guidance: read the types on your actual board before counting a payoff as active.

Keep modal cards in mind

Choosing modes means facing a dilemma. Early guidance: look for that exact connection when pairing a modal spell with a revealed payoff.

Budget a turn for station

Station taps a creature during your main phase. Early guidance: compare the next charge-counter threshold with what that creature could do in combat.
