As this land enters, you may pay 2 life. If you don't, it enters tapped.
As one of the Galaxy's few ectothermic sapient species, Cardassians prefer high temperatures. Many use sweltering saunas to "charge" themselves before interacting with other species.

Where it came from
Steam Vents, released as card number 298 in the Star Trek Customizable Card Game (CCG) by Decipher, Inc., debuted in the late 1990s as part of the game's expansive expansion cycles. This card was designed within the context of the 'Trouble with Tribbles' expansion, which sought to immerse players in the nostalgia of the original series while balancing the game's increasingly complex tactical mechanics.
The card's design features specific mechanical functions intended to represent environmental hazards encountered by Starfleet crews. Illustrators and developers at Decipher focused on translating iconic television locations into playable assets, prioritizing atmospheric accuracy to satisfy the dedicated fanbase of the era. Upon its release, the set was well-received for expanding the playable scope of the original series, though collectors often prioritized its utility in deck-building over its aesthetic rarity.
