The Adversaries Anthology, an expansion of Decipher's Star Trek Customizable Card Game: Second Edition, brings together Star Trek's famous enemies. It was released on 26 August 2006. Two new cards and eighteen foil reprints were released in a storage box designed to hold over six hundred cards. Also included were a random Call to Arms starter deck and six booster packs from previous expansions. The two new cards (Borg Queen and Shinzon) are printed in the portrait style, meaning that they have a larger picture and shorter game play instruction area. These cards are also included on the Archive Cards expansion listing.
