Some people may recall that the Specialist deck is the one that got Swap Parts banned. Since the consistency of that deck is gone, I wanted to know if Specialists could still make an impact.

Here's the premise: Specialists get gear that let you do free things. Free is a very good price. So play out all the things, and overwhelm the opponent's characters with more cards than my opponent can play. Make the game go long with Repair Bay to let characters last longer (for free!), use Brainstorm to enable more free plays, Zap for a free damage, with Treasure Hunt and Confidence to fill the hand, and keep playing more stuff. Turbo Boosters can untap my characters to give me extra attacks, or as a way to mitigate Intelligence Mission's drawback. Again: free stuff is free!

It seems awesome, so let's give it a go.
