What it does
If one or more charge counters would be put on an artifact you control, that many plus one charge counters are put on it instead.
The Borg had no notion of "quaint," but the simplicity of Federation technology was reassuring.

Where it came from
Optimization Annex was released as part of the Star Trek Commander set, a thematic expansion designed to integrate the iconic technological and tactical elements of the Star Trek universe into a strategic card game format. The card serves as a mechanical representation of the Borg Collective's ability to repurpose and assimilate resources, reflecting the expansion's focus on faction-specific efficiency and board control.
The artistic direction for this piece was crafted to emphasize the utilitarian, cold aesthetic of Borg architecture. By utilizing sharp, geometric visuals and a stark color palette, the designers aimed to evoke the feeling of an relentless, expanding machine entity. Upon its release, the card was noted by players for its synergy with control-oriented decks, establishing itself as a functional staple within the specialized meta of the Star Trek Commander series.
