    Ancestral Vision

    Tribal lore tells of Sky Spirits who guided the Rubber Tree People in Earth's distant past. When Chakotay found the Spirits' home in the Delta Quadrant, he was beset with visions of his ancestors.

    Here's something special for those who brave the Delta Quadrant. Set up Ancestral Vision on a Delta mission, and the right personnel can keep you in card draws for the game. There are many choices who meet the requirement of Honor and INTEGRITY > 7. Some of the Delta natives include Taborimage, Kardenimage, and Danara Pelimage.

    ...and of course, Chakotay. If you can possibly manage it, he's the man you want for this job, because he'll get you two extra card draws at the end of a turn instead of one. Just think of it - three cards to end every turn with. You'll probably have to work a bit, protecting Chakotay from an opponent who will definitely want to remove him, but for that kind of benefit, it's worth the effort!

    Combo:

    • Ancestral Vision + The Traveler: Transcendenceimage: Since Ancestral Vision affects your end of turn card draw, more than one copy of it won't do you any good - it's not cumulative. But that doesn't stop you from combining it with other ways to draw extra cards. There's The Traveler: Transcendence, the 35th Rule of Acquisitionimage... all you'll really need are ways to play all those cards.
