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, the set's first Artifact!
THE ENTRIES:
[66] Alawanir Nebula
[67] Alba Ra
[68] Alben, Captain
[69] Albeni meditation crystal
[70] Albert, Joshua
[66] A difficult card to design as it looks a lot like Study Nebula. Making it part of a region may alter its appeal, as might the free card play. Source: TNG's "Rightful Heir" and believe or not, I created the nebula by manipulating a screenshot from the episode.
[67] A counterpart to Ooby Dooby. Source: "Suddenly Human"
[68] A dilemma would eventually have made its way into AtoZ that transformed males (random selection) into Taresians susceptible to Captain Alben's power. Maybe I got there, maybe I didn't. And if I didn't, he's pretty useless. Source: "Favorite Son"
[69] Source: "Angel One"
[70] As one of the only two Trek characters with my last name, I wanted to do good by this guy. Is OFFICER too much for a cadet? Nova Squadron members include Wesley Crusher, Nick Locarno, Sito Jaxa and Jean Hajar. Source: TNG's "The First Duty"; picture: "Old Friends, New Planets" (thank the Great Bird of the Galaxy for Lower Decks revisiting so many concepts!)
And now: My other namesake! But also a card Decipher later made (included for comparison)...
THE ENTRIES:
[71] Albert, Lieutenant Commander
[72] Albino, The
[73] Alcia
[74] Alcyones
[75] Aldabren Exchange
[71] The other Trek character with my last name. I pay homage to that in the lore. Source: "The First Duty"
[72] When The Albino later came out in the Blaze of Glory expansion, I was surprised at how much I got "right", even if I took him to be a Klingon (I've gone back and forth on his species over the years). I think Decipher was right to make him Non-Aligned (after all, a lot of humans are too, so even if he WAS of the Klingon species), but I got the Attributes exactly right? The Nemesis icon (matching Kang)?! Source: "Blood Oath"
[73] A Delta Quadrant Mirasta Yale, she joins the Away Team as soon as she is revealed. Source: "Remember"
[74] An Adapt card for all affiliations. The danger? That your OPPONENT discovers the next Armus and goes through unharmed. Source: "Haven"
[75] A common dilemma which won't hit a lot (except against Enterprise-E-heavy Away Teams, redshirts and the Borg), but could hose players who never lose any personnel. And do you really want to Duranja that Bajoran knowing this is out there? Source: "Ménage à Troi"
Next up: A quicky!
