Card of the Week: Chaka
| Though the heavy makeup might make it hard for some people to tell, the character of Chaka was actually played by two different actors in the three episodes in which he appeared. Dion Johnstone, who appeared in various makeups in 9 episodes, originated the role in the episode "The First Ones," and returned to it in "Beast of Burden." This is arguably the more "quintessential" Chaka, and had been the preferred designer choice for the card's image. |

Card of the Week: Khalek
|
| When dealing with a character or adversary that only appears in a single episode of Stargate SG-1, it's often very easy to identify the one clear image that best captures him for the card. That was most definitely not the case for Khalek; many great moments were in contention for his card image. |

Card of the Week: Young Jack
|
| Young Jack holds the distinction of being the first card designed for the second set of Stargate TCG, System Lords. This is because he was actually created and tested during the development of the first set, specifically intended for use as a promo card (and as a preview of something from the next set). |
