I must not have subscribed either, lol.
I have a list for you, but I would wait to consider anything until you get more Gruul goodness. Do you want that list?

Gruul Signet, Sol Ring, and that obvious stuff.
Give me a day or so, and I'll have a solid list of cards. Have you considered waiting until Gatecrash hits to assemble this? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
So who all wants to play in a 3.5 games, and by play I mean for serious play?
If no one else wants to DM, I can/will. I will need an assistant as I don't remember nor feel like rememorizing obscure systems. I still have my dm screen and if I look, I'm sure I have my toolkit for most things. Once we get past level 15 or if someone uses an obscure character type, I'll likely have to resort to looking up systems the hard way, and I don't want to do that by myself. it's time consuming, very boring, and takes me way out of the game. The assistant could still play a character no problem and would only be involved with system checking.
Speaking of older rpgs that are still amazing, I miss WoD original settings:( Anyone have a 20th edition VtM hardcover they want to sell at a reasonable price?
@GoC, I like the few changes, btw. Meant to say something the other day. My bad!
More like Bozo brothers. Come get some, punks.
:jagged spikes protrude throughout digi's body as he launches himself into the air at the younger bonzo brother. just before impact, he shouts:
SOMEONE GET THOSE KIDS AWAY FROM DRACE. I CAN HANDLE THESE TWO IDIOTS!
:his face twitches a little, and his eyes glow purple:
Choose. This is boring me..
:the whiz-whirling of machinery starts within, but is barely audible given the circumstances:
I have my thumb on my nose though, because I don't want to DM.
@GoC, checking it out now. Will respond in a bit.
I see Harry Kim as the only regular dude in Star Trek, lol.
Hello Drace.
:he says as he finally reaches her:
Your guards will all die at the hands of Squad Obsidian.
:he jerks his head back at the Gundam:
You will too. However, I may be able to free you from this seemingly demonic possession. If you surrender to me right now, of course.
:he displays his spiked hands half raised to his sides, fanning them out, letting the blood in the once white now crimson stained sleeves drip from his fingertips. he smiles and nods at her armor
Or we could compare enchanted alloys.
Break away from me. Dante, ready that weapon of yours. I'm sure a big golden pot floating through the small army will draw Drace's undivided attention. If your shot fails, I suggest flanking them from the westward wall. Do not follow me. I will be fine with these zealots and their affinity for precious metals.
:he glances back at them as the pot rises 3 meters, still following him effortlessly:
Protect Lidiya at all costs.
There is a book called "The Federation: The First 100 Years" that breaks down every time he said something like this and explains the formation of the prime directive. Not that any is needed. But that book is probably my favorite coffee table book:)
I considered Salek when making this list, but I don't perceive him as a villain.
Lidiya is our only real contractual concern. However, I feel a great deal of anger at my lengthy imprisonment which Drace had a hand in. Something is amiss with that woman, and I aim to find out what is going on in her tiny little mind. Besides, saving children is somewhat of a cause I have taken up as of late. I'm sure the Library will have no problem taking in any children that loses parents in this exertion. Let's destroy anyone that stands in our way, but save Drace for further analysis.
Where is Khan Noonien Singh? A million things could be done with that. I would take a safe bet that is is the most iconic villain of all time in the Trek universe.
Kruge! My personal favorite Klingon baddie. I don't know what he could do magic wise, but it wouldhave to be one hell of a card.
M113 monsters/aliens with some sort of cloning ability.
Gorn with some awesome keyword abilities like double strike, haste, trample, ect.
General Chang, he could do all kinds of *****.
TNG:
Tolian Soran from Generations. He could have some anti-borg mechanic. MAybe even an accompanying card in the Nexus, which could have some graveyard ability.
Moriarty. Seriously, "Elementary my Dear Data" is among my favorite episodes of all time. Moriarty would have some reveal and play mechanic. I'm actually quite miffed they didn't print him in the Bandai deck building game.
Gul Madrid, (sp?). He could do a hand replacement thingy. Maybe even comes with a four lights card that makes people discard for revealing certain cards. IDK. That is one hell of a villain though.
Sela with some library manipulation action. Though that kinda plays into Tasha Yar, (which for some reason, all printed canon refers to Tasha as Natasha... which I can't make any sense of).
Shinzon, could be picard-esque, but weaker with an obscure keyword ability. Maybe even the viceroy with some hand peaking ability.
DS9:
Kai Winn. Seriously, think about it... she could do something specific against star ships, or **** cardissians. Either or...
Brunt the ferangi. He could do some sort of taxes ability. Maybe even something like beaurocratic nonsense that ****s everything up.
"Luthor Sloan". He's like a spy/covert agent. Kinda sadistic both in mental and physical ways. I can see him with hand/library manipulation. Maybe even an insta kill of some sort.
Gul Dukat. While not always exactly a villain, his is almost always villianous, if that makes sense. This is one of those characters I am having a hard time defining as a magic card, but like Kruge, it would have to be one hell of a card with multiple abilities. The more I think about Gul, the more I see him as my favorite character on DS9.
The dominion with some crazy ass recurring mass destruction ability would fit well. Different characters could easily be different creature types with a subtype of dominion.
VOY:
The Vidians with some sort of stealing ability. Maybe even some sort of -1/-1 counter distribution.
I can't recall their name off hand, but the aliens in the episode Emanations that kind of put Kim into the afterlife, (kinda). They could have some sort of graveyard ability. Maybe even some weird mill ability, (are there regular mill abilities anymore anyway?). Obviously not that memorable if I can't recall their name. I will say Voyager is my least favorite Trek, though.
Species 8472. They could have maybe some amped up evolve mechanic. Maybe even be indestructible.
I feel the borg are more Voyager baddies than TNG baddies as a whole. But you got the borg covered.
ENT:
John Frederick Patterson is the only super memorable villain on the show, at least to me. Some of his quotes actually related to many of the anti middle eastern sentiment forming in the united states at the time of airing and were alarmingly scary to think about in relation to how many people were feeling. He could have a pro-human ability of some sort. Maybe even an anti non human ability.
The mimetic symbiote. It could be a clone with haste and sac it in a turn or two. It would have to be cheap. Maybe even have an illusion clause.
Arik Soong and the eugenics outcasts. Something bad ass would have to come out of the cards, but I feel they were among the best villains on ENT.
That should help a bit, though I'm sure you considered at least most of them.
A mirror Universe card or maybe even some mirror universe characters would be sick.
It completely shows. I have started to make star trek themed mtg sets many times, but could never really get it off the ground because I could never make the conversion from st character to nagic card smoothly. As cheesy as this sounds, some of these character cards are almost poetic in the convestion.
Like I said and as you pointed out, it doesn't really matter. When you start reading lots of Klingon or Romulan heavy stuff, it is easy to see that the people that /really/ care about canon designated Warbirds for the Romulans and Birds of Prey to the Klingons. I would even go as far to say most casual trek fans recognize that distinction too, however inaccurate it may be.
I think the reason it's all screwy is like the reason any star trek canon is screwy: lazy writing, lol. That tends to happen with stuff as encompassing as star trek though:)
I was actually meaning the cards like "Make it so" when I mentioned command cards. I like the council cards as well, though.
Believe it or not, I used to run a casual phasing/upkeep deck that ran some suspend cards several years back before the exile rule facelift. I think phasing is just one of those really great mechanics that don't see the play it deserves. Wish they would print a few new cards with the mechanic. Alas, I have no faith this will actually happen:( Suspend is also one hell of a mechanic, but I see and play with it often. Suspend is fun.
It is seriously flawless in the conversion. Again, I could not do it better myself and I've tried several times.
Most people despise Lt Barclay, lol! I have no problem with the character though. What draws you to like Barclay, if I may? It took me a second to register the why's and whatfors, but it makes complete sense. They all do, really.
Maybe I see Q as mono w because he/they are nearly omnipotent because in magic I associate W with divinity. I have no idea what a planeswalker Q could do. Making a Q legend just doesn't seem to do the Q justice to me, (not that you did, I'm just thinking). I could also see the Traveler and Zepherim Cochran as a planeswalker. No clue what they'd do though.
I see a big difference between the two.
I'm having loading issues with my browser, but stay tuned for a list of baddies.
