[A236-245] Aquiel to Arbiter of Succession

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

THE ENTRIES:
[236] "Aquiel"
[237] Aquino, Ensign
[238] ARA scan
[239] arachnid
[240] Arak'Taral (no card required)

NOTES:
[236] Hopefully balanced and actually enhances redshirt strategies. Source: "Aquiel", obviously.
[237] His only appearance was as a charred piece of plastic, so I composited a uniform model into a DS9 set. Source: "In the Hands of the Prophets"
[238] An infiltrator on a ship during a planet mission attempt must beam down to the planet if it chooses the first option. Personnel are only considered to be infiltrators if they are actually infiltrating opponent's crew, not if they simply have an infiltration icon. Source: "Projections"
[239] The sticking ability should probably be reserved for your opponent's hand weapons, but could be used to turn your Saltah'na Clock on and off at will. Source: "Genesis"
[240] Arak'Taral had already appeared in The Dominion expansion.

Next up: My take on a Risian.

THE ENTRIES:
[241] Arandis
[242] Arawath Colony
[243] Arbazan
[244] Arbazon vulture
[245] Arbiter of Succession (no card required)

Decipher's take, for comparison's sake:

NOTES:
[241] Adds to Love Interest/Jamaharon/Groupie strategies. I thought Risa was part of the Federation, so that's her affiliation in my version. Source: "Let He Who Is Without Sin..."
[242] Hey, these guys are dangerous. Source: DS9's "The Wire"
[243] "Their ship" is the ship the Away team beamed from. If no ship is present, the last ship or facility their were on is chosen. Source: "The Forsaken"
[244] Shape-shifters can return to their real forms, but a reported Vulture cannot be morphed into a Founder later. Yes, this is a personnel you can play as a Hidden Agenda on table. When revealed, you must play it where it could normally report from there (the better to use the shape-shifting mechanic). Source: "The Search, Part II"
[245] The card already exists as an Interrupt in the Q-Continuum expansion.

Next up: Computer, arch!

Cards: Lieutenant's Log, Aquino, Lies, All Lies!!!, Spider-Reg, Arandis, Assassinate Retired Agent, Arbazan Mores, Arbazon Vulture,

[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...

[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 requ...

[A166-175] Andorian to Angel One

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. More Andorian stuff... THE ENTRIES: [166] Andorian blues [167] Andorian transport [168] Andorian tuber root [169] Andorians [170] android (no card required) But perhaps you want the icons reversed: NOTES: [166] Since INTEGRITY is the most difficult attribute to boost... And note that it plays as a download - from hand - suspending play rather than costing a card play. Source: "Unification Part I" [167] Why dual-aligned if one of the icons is going to be Non-Aligned? Well, for purposes of many cards, it counts as both, so it's as vulnerable to Maman Picard as it is to Neural Servo Device. An experiment. Source: "Rules of Acquisition" [168] Wha--?!? All you need is 5 more points to get a victory? You have a Klingon Death Yell in hand? You figure it out. Source: "Second Sight" [169] Shrev is an invention b...
