[A266-275] Argos to Ariana

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. We're still going "Arg"...

THE ENTRIES:
[266] Argos System
[267] Argosian Sector
[268] Argosian
[269] Argratha
[270] Argrathi

NOTES:
[266] Throwing some villain affiliations a bone, here. Source: TNG's "Silicon Avatar"
[267] Reads like a mission for the Cerritos! Source: DS9's "Babel"
[268] A Treaty hoser. Owner may choose to stun rather than mortally wound, but it'll be hard avoiding the end of battle kill. Source: "Dax", but the pic is from "Behind the Lines"
[269] A "matching" Espionage card is a card that starts with your attempting affiliation's name. Ex: If Romulans are attempting, any Romulan on... Espionage card will do the trick. It can be played as an interrupt and discarded upon mission solving. (No need to play it before all the dilemmas are cleared; it's a mission requirement, not an attempt requirement.) Source: DS9's "Hard Time"
[270] The Away Team is still stopped by the lack of Law x2, no matter what the probe result. Source: "Hard Time"

And now: The Enterprise-D's first recurring Chief Engineer.

THE ENTRIES:
[271] Argus Array (no card required)
[272] Argus sector
[273] Argyle, Lieutenant Commander
[274] Ari (no card required)
[275] Ariana

NOTES:
[271] Already exists in the game as the Basic Set's Repair Mission.
[272] So yes, your ship gets Cytherianed, but at least you might free a captive out of it. Source: "Gambit, Part I"
[273] If at any time, Argyle is filtered out of (or eliminated from) an Away Team, Lore will no longer cooperate. Source: He appears in three episodes, but the shot is from his first in "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
[274] Already exists as a Cardassian personnel in the Deep Space Nine expansion.
[275] Ariana's attribute enhancements' target may be declared at any point. I probably planned Arrange Marriage for "Haven", and it would have worked for "Cost of Living", but I completely dropped the ball on this card and it will therefore be in Broken Links. Source: "Haven"

Next up: When Janeway was still green...

Cards: Track Entity, Complete Star Charts, Bar Brawl, Spy on Non-Aligned World, Argrathi Prison System, Postpone Mission, Argyle, Ariana

[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.
