[A147-155] Amphibian to Ancestral Spirits

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Hey, our first persona...

THE ENTRIES:
[147] amphibian
[148] AMU
[149] analeptic
[150] anapestic tetrameter

NOTES:
[147] She is a persona of Deanna Troi. Source: "Genesis"
[148] Why if Range greater than 6? First, it encourages slower ships who need to see the outside of a binder. Second, because those ships have the bigger warp core, which leaks worse stuff. Source: "Threshold"
[149] Of course, your personnel may still be mortally wounded. Hypospray's other uses cannot be used during the battle while the Event is in play - treat event's text as another "OR" clause on the equipment. Source: "Rise"
[150] One function per foot in a line ;-) . Source: "Schisms"

And now: Ooh, I get to skip everyone's favorite Gothic romance ghost!

THE ENTRIES:
[151] anaphasic life-form (no card required)
[152] Anara (no card required)
[153] Anaya, Ensign April
[154] anbo-jytsu
[155] Ancestral Spirits

NOTES:
[151] As Anaphasic Organism, the ghost who romanced Crusher's grandmother is already in the cards, as a dilemma from the Basic Set. Source: "Sub Rosa"
[152] Anara appears as a Bajoran personnel in the Deep Space Nine expansion. Source: "The Foresaken"
[153] Since Alien Probe reveals your hand, Anaya has an effect as soon as she enters it. If you ever play her to the table, you must show your hand again. In fact, her skills aren't that hot and similar to all those other bridge ensigns, so her special skill might just be worth never playing her at all! Source: The Nth Degree"
[154] I didn't forget to dock Kyle Riker for his cheating. Source: "The Icarus Factor"
[155] Too little INTEGRITY, and the spirits wipe the place clean of event, interrupt and objective cards. Too much and the Away Team is able to accept that the spirits want to clean the area. Let's look at that second possibility again: 1) the spirits like the Away Team enough that they destroy enemy cards here and 2) the away team has enough integrity to not pollute that area with their cards. Hope that explains it. Source: "Sacred Ground"

Next up: A place for Worf and Alexander to visit.

Cards: Amphibious Troi, Antimatter Leak, Analeptic Restorative, Anapestic Tetrameter, April Anaya, Anbo-Jytsu, Ancestral Spirits

[A156-165] Anchilles to Andorian

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. A couple of Program cards, incoming... THE ENTRIES: [156] Anchilles fever [157] Ancient Philosophies [158] Ancient West [159] Andarian glass bead [160] Andevian II How Decipher handled it, for comparison: NOTES: [156] Probing on a dilemma doesn't leave you much space to work with, does it? Source: While first mentioned in TNG's "Code of Honor", the virus was pictured in Enterprise's "Cold Station 12". [157] Something to seed yourself? I say "first artifact encountered" because there may be more than one under such missions as Orb Negotiations, and both opponents may have seeded one under the same mission. Source: "The Host" [158] None of the named characters were in the game when I made this card (which is naturally a Program under my scheme). Holodeck Adventures would make it an Incid...

[A1-5] 'audet IX to Abandoned

Back in the late 90s, when I was deep into the Star Trek Collectible Card Game world, one of the projects I was doing on Decipher's Bulletin Boards was a massive set of dream cards under the banner "AtoZ" (with respect to Mr. Atoz of "All Our Yesterdays"). Essentially, I took the Star Trek Encyclopedia and attempted to create an ST CCG dream card for every entry, unless the character or concept already had a card, and I think at the time, Decipher didn't have access to TOS and the movies, so those seem to be excluded as well. I got to the middle of the M's, which accounts for thousands of cards. But the thing, see, is that none of those cards had graphics. They were all just text-based. Recently, I reconnected with the ST CCG community, some of them working with the Continuing Committee, which is still making new cards. They hooked me up with excellent templates from which to bring dream cards to life. And so I've gone back to my notes a...

Apocalypse Rising Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first two AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 100 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 100 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 113 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's B's. Note that Enhanced Apocalypse Rising would have been 4 special packs with set card lists, and A's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.
