Magic: The Gathering - Star Trek Commander Decks Overview Published Jul 21, 2026, 4:44 PM EDT Niall (pronounced Ny-ul) is a UK-based writer who has been writing about Magic: The Gathering throughout his entire career, with everything from new set breakdowns and individual deck guides to offering his opinions on the state of formats and the general direction of the iconic TCG. Niall also has a rich history covering triple-A releases, sports games, and PC hardware. The Star Trek Magic: The Gathering set may still be some time away from launch, but we got an exciting Weekly MTG live stream that revealed details about the set, including the first-ever signed cards and four new Commander precons. These Universes Beyond precons all look quite exciting and are well themed based on key characters and groups from the show, so let me take you through everything we know about these four new precons, including the color identity and price. What Are The Four Star Trek Commander Decks? The four Star Trek Commander decks carry the following names and color identities: Federation Fleet - Jeskai (Blue, White, Red) Landing Party - Bant (Green, White, Blue) Klingon Fury - Mardu (Red, White, Black) We Are The Borg - Esper (White, Blue, Black) We can make a fairly simple assumption based on the box art which character is going to be the lead Commander for each deck, but it's notable that each box only features one character, when often those who are featured also represent the backup Commander for each precon. Federation Fleet This deck will be led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and will rely heavily on card draw and vehicle cards. Star Trek is expected to lean heavily into the Station mechanic introduced in Edge of Eternities, so you'll be powering up space stations in order to turn them into powerful creatures. To do this, you will need to have creatures in play, be those permanent or tokens, so while card draw and stations are the primary mechanics, you'll still need to ensure you have ways of getting creatures into play and protecting them long enough to charge up your space stations. Landing Party This deck is led by Spock, and will rely on returning mechanic Landfall as well as "Strange New Worlds." This second mechanic isn't entirely clear based on what has been revealed from the set so far, but it could reference artifacts or spell cards bearing the names of planets from throughout Star Trek's history. The much more unlikely possibility is the return of battle cards, but it would fit the theming if handled right. Klingon Fury We learned very little about the Klingons during the MTG Weekly stream, with the only real reference being the fact that we have a Klingon Commander precon led by Worf. Mechanically, this deck looks like it will be the all-out aggressor at the table, much like the Avengers Assemble deck from Marvel Super Heroes. I'm expecting a creature-heavy deck list and spells all built around doing damage or buffing creature power. We Are The Borg Finally, we have the Borg deck led by the Borg Queen. Based on the Borg cards we've seen so far, it's fair to assume that assimilation will play a big role in this deck. This mechanic appears to interact with other players' graveyards and bring creatures back to the battlefield under your control, only as a Borg rather than their previous types. How Much Will The Star Trek Commander Precons Cost? Given that Star Trek is a Universes Beyond set, the base prices for each product are slightly higher. This is reportedly to cover the additional cost of licensing each UB set. This means that the Star Trek Commander precon decks will cost $74.99 each for the base versions, and $159.99 for the collector's versions, which feature every card with a surge foil finish.
