| - Rage Across Las Vegas: Equinox was the final commerically-released card set for Rage: Tribal War. It consists of cards originally slated for release as Phases 7, 8, and 9 under the "Rolling Thunder" program. By the end of 1998, Five Rings Publishing Group had ceased to exist as an actual unit within Wizards of the Coast, and in 1999 WTC was acquired by Hasbro. Hasbro proceeded to cancel most of WTC's collectible card games, including Rage, so three final planned phases were combined into Equinox. Not long after Equinox's release, White Wolf pulled the Rage license, and Hasbro destroyed the back stock they were no longer able to sell; as a result, Equinox cards tend to be particularly hard to find on the secondary market. In the conclusion of the metaplot, the time traveling pack returns to the present to find the inter-tribal conflict spiraling out of control. The Fianna and the Black Furies have gotten involved in the fighting at the Ragnarok, prompting the mayor of Las Vegas to shut the casino down; the Stargazers are fighting amongst themselves; and the Silver Fangs attempt to prevent Natasha Moon Chaser and her allies from performing the Rite of Still Skies to finally put the Storm Eater back down. This set included some reprints of cards from previous phases; these are marked in the table below with an asterisk next to their rarity. It also included a few reprinted cards from the previous incarnation of Rage, such as Banana Split, Sings-for-the-Beast and Virus-to-Wyrm, with modified stats and text to fit the current rules. It also included the final three Tribe cards and the remaining three Auspice cards. Finally, it introduced Past Life cards, which had been present in the previous incarnation of Rage from the first set. Table of Contents: 0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
