[B176-180] Berthold Rays to Best of Both Worlds

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

THE ENTRIES:
[176] berthold rays
[177] Bertram
[178] berylite scan
[179] "Best of Both Worlds, Part I, The"
[180] "Best of Both Worlds, Part II, The"

Decipher's version, for comparison:

NOTES:
[176] The Calamarain is discarded whether or not it killed a personnel. Source: "Déjà Q"
[177] The STRENGTH bonus is calculated in a specific match between Bertram and a Jem'Hadar as well as in the totals resolution at battle's end if Jem'Hadar were involved, even if Bertram didn't get matched up with a Jem'Hadar specifically. Source: In "The Ship", she is a woman in a red uniform, but too blurry to use. Since my card had her as SECURITY, I went and looked for a similar background artist in gold. Found one in "The Way of the Warrior".
[178] The MEDICAL keep going with the mission attempt, however. Source: "A Matter Of Time"
[179] Decipher came out with the ship in the Blaze of Glory expansion (included for comparison) and I came VERY close, but that's less about my prescience than the fact Borg ships have a pretty set template. Source: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"
[180] This allows you to attempt a self-seeded Compromised Mission with the Feds, to report Borg ships to a self-seeded Investigate Incursion, attempt your opponent's Construct Depot (if you can Espionage it), etc. Note that you can use EITHER side of the mission card and can switch gears at any time, as long as you don't use both at the same time. Designwise, the game text is so short, I imagined this card with its symmetrical image in the middle and game text on each end, right side up and upside down, so that's what I tried to do here. Source: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"

Next up: It's almost all Beta for a while (not literally).

Cards: Calamarain Scan, Bertram, Another Test?!?, Locutus' Borg Cube, The Best of Both Worlds

[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.
