Boooooorg Penitent. 

This was the first Passion pieces spoiled when Chrysotic Plague was first introduced.  It's this tiny, transparent robot looking like he's praying...Probably for better stats.

This guy is a 4 PP; 1 Power, 1 defense, 2 life.

This sounds a lot like Hammerhead (3P, 3 power, 1 defense, 2life).

So why does he cost more?!  Check out the ability 

: Provoke — At the beginning of the opponent's first action phase this turn, if there are local enemies, the opponent must strike during that action phase.

This can change what the opponent is going to do for the turn if you lose initiative; forcing an attack first.  This DEFINATELY helps if the Borg is the only thing the opponent is engaged with.  His stats are pretty much guaranteed to ensure that he'll be dying if he's attacked. 

I haven't used this myself (as I'm not a big fan of passion), going off of the wording.  If you have 1 cell that has engaged enemies and you have Angel of Sunrise and Borg Penitent in the same cell.  You use Provoke, but are able to use something like Zungar Standardbearer or Pearlthorn Castle to get the Borg out of there, they STILL have to go after the Angel, whose stats ensure she'll be pretty much sitting where she's at.  SWEET!

There is definate potential to the Borg, but I think a part of why I don't like him is cost/consequence to get it to work.  I believe if you have the resources to be able to shoot off PROVOKE and save the Borg.  You're probably already winning.

So in that sense, he's a bit like Genteel Husk:  Won't help you in a pinch, but he's there to help you seal the deal.  A 'win-better' piece.

I'll give the little guy a 2 out of 5.  Part of that score comes from me not pulling him in sealed.
