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

THE ENTRIES:
[246] "Blood Oath"
[247] blood oath
[248] blood screening
[249] blood-gas infuser
[250] "Bloodlines"

Decipher's version, for comparison:

NOTES:
[246] Check out the timing rules for when the Interrupt can legally be played during a mission attempt. Source: "Blood Oath"
[247] For Dax to benefit from the nemesis icon, she must must be present with either one of the Klingons named. Don't forget the double-edged sword of the nemesis icon. Your opponent could conceivably start picking off your personnel, en masse if they are all together! The Blaze of Glory expansion gave us Decipher's which is pretty different, though I predicted the interaction with the nemesis icon (included for comparison). Source: "Blood Oath"
[248] Decipher came out with its own Blood Screening (singular) card in Mirror, Mirror (included for comparison). Source: "The Adversary"
[249] The EMH is required because that would indicate the possibility of holo-emitters in present ship's Sickbay. If personnel is killed aboard the ship, it isn't relocated (except to an appropriate Site, if present). Source: "Phage"
[250] This makes use of some cards in AtoZ that deal with the family relationships listed in cards' lores. Source: "Bloodlines"

Next up: Blue alert!

Cards: Surprise Attack, Blood Oath, Blood Screenings, Holo-Organs, Fake Bloodline

[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.

[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...
