Once upon a time..I played and somewhat collected this CCG which was a far cry from the playability of MtG. But I've always thought it had somewhat more potential than Decipher ever explored. And of course Paramount with their yes/no/maybe licensing style took a while to smooth out. (Paramount remind anyone else of the Disney Corporation?)
I glanced at 2nd edition but didn't feel it was an improvement. And no way was I going to pay IRL card prices to play online. That to me (personally) seems really silly.
Been contemplating re-starting my collection by purchasing 'Reflections' boosters. According to the Reflections (http://www.decipher.com/startrek/expansions/reflections/index.html) page "Each Reflections pack gives you 17 randomly assorted cards from Premiere through The Dominion sets plus an 18th card, a foil version of a classic Star Trek CCG rare." So that looks like the other cards are from WB premiere (unlimited), 'Alternate Universe', 'Q-Continuum', 'First Contact', 'DS9', and 'The Dominion'. But not, apparently, 'Blaze of Glory' or 'Rules of Acqusition'? If I recall right Reflections was released with 'Trouble with Tribbles' and followed shortly by 'Mirror, Mirror' and Enhanced Premiere.
Oddly though, I can't seem to find anywhere to buy more than a small handful of Deep Space 9 or Blaze of Glory boosters. Mostly just individual DS9 & BoG rares or foils.
Heh, anyone else share an addiction for this game and it's abominable rules? Or the five year mission to get an AU Future Enterprise without paying more than the cost of an AU booster box?
