Card Mechanics
UGC Medic is an Armada that is primarily useful due to it’s Resource Effect. Sure, putting the Armada in-play allows you heal and potentially draw a card. But this Armada’s true strength is what it can do from the Resource area. Healing for a single more for a total of two resource (one Genetic Code + the exhaust of UGC Medic herself) may not sound exciting but consider the fact that you may use it at anytime. This means that at the end of your opponent’s turn, you can use two Resources you may have remaining to activate the effect and heal up, since your Resource will refresh at the start of your turn anyway. That’s essentially free morale for your Advent! Suppose you manage to get three UGC Medics into your resource area. That means you can heal for three morale if you have at least six resources left!
And, as is the theme this week, using Sixx as your Advent means you have many options to get UGC Medic into your Resource area if it ends up in your hand. However, Sixx cannot lower the Resource cost of UGC Medic, since Medic's cost specifies Genetic Code, whereas Sixx only reduces the cost by one "generic" Resource.
