[A196-205] Anthracite to Anticans

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

THE ENTRIES:
[196] anthracite strike of 1902
[197] Anthraxic citrus
[198] Anthwara
[199] anti-intoxicant
[200] anti-time (future) 

NOTES: 
[196] The Countdown will usually be 1 given the greedy (low-Integrity) nature of those personnel. The only way to take it to 4(!) is to give Guinan or Kahless Greed, or use INTEGRITY boosters. Source: "Bar Association"
[197] The trick is that, as a Delta Quadrant Food card itself, you must have a Food-serving Site in the Delta Q. for this to work. Its effect does not work on itself. Source: "Flashback"
[198] Anthwara counts as a Native American for purposes of cards affecting such. He brings Evacuation in line with DS9 and could be useful to your Cardassians. Have him protect the mission and beam him up to the ship when you're ready to send an Away Team down. Source: "Journey's End"
[199] Source: "Apocalypse Rising"
[200] Some "Natives" exist as cards, others will find their way into AtoZ. "G.LaForge" is Geordi's conceptual pen name (he and his family are Broken Link-bound). While all this Time Location does alone is send a lot of AU personnel and ships to the far ends of time (worthy in itself), the full breadth of Anti-Time strategy is only revealed with Anti-Time Present and Past (cards 201 and 202). See below. Source: "All Good Things..."

And now: Let's finish up those Anti-time locations...

THE ENTRIES:
[201] anti-time (past)
[202] anti-time (present)
[203] anti-time (no card required)
[204] Antica
[205] Anticans 

NOTES: 
[201] Of course, the newly-reported persona IS bound by the persona rule. The "present" is the normal spaceline AND Anti-Time Present. Source: "All Good Things..."
[202] For example, you could have Jean-Luc Picard in the present, Galen in the past (since Past suspends the persona rule) and Ambassador Picard in the future to score those points. Those are BONUS points by the way. Even though this is the "present", it's actually 2370 (the game takes place in present-day Trek - say the tail-end of Voyager, or perhaps Nemesis/Lower Decks - some years later), so you need to get to it by time-travelling. Source: "All Good Things..."
[203] This concept is amply covered by Anti-Time Anomaly in the Basic Set.
[204] A very different mission with very different rewards. Anyone can attempt, but it cannot be solved exactly. The A's also have a mission called Mediation, no relation. Source: TNG's "Lonely Among Us", but the image is from the Decipher RPG's "Worlds" sourcebook.
[205] Forgive me on this one :-). Note that Genetronic Replicator can't save you from the oven since the personnel is not "killed" per se. Source: "Lonely Among Us", but pic from "Crisis Point".

Next up: Anti-stuff.

Cards:  On Strike, Anthraxic Citrus, Anthwara, Anti-Intoxicant, Anti-Time Future, Anti-Time Past, Anti-Time Present, Mediation Impossible, Antican Cuisine

[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...

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.

Broken Links [BL-B26-30] Species 8472 to The Net

More Broken Links... This time: 8472! BROKEN LINKS: [26] Species 8472 [27] Strike! [28] Baseball personnel [29] Ten-Forward [30] The Net NOTES:   [26] Needed to staff Bioships [B+49] and support all those 8472 infiltrators. In personnel battle, hand weapons don't count against them, they can't be negatively affected by Equipment cards. I almost made them unable to mix, but they definitely worked with Voyager a few times, so I've just made it more difficult to do so. Source: "Prey" [27] The card can be nullified by Bunt [B+74]. You either continue without effect, lose a personnel, or get stopped, but a "Ball" result may lose you some cards from the deck. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [28] Captain Solok has the matching Nemesis icon. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [29] In the list of Food-serving sites in the not to [B17]. U.S.S. Enterprise-D personnel are those that specifically reference the ship in their lore. Other ...
