Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek as a Universes Beyond set

Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek is part of the Universes Beyond series. In this product line, Wizards of the Coast brings well-known brands and worlds into Magic. Following sets like The Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Fallout, Final Fantasy, and other crossovers, it's now time to explore the world of Starfleet, the Klingons, the Borg, and many iconic captains.

The Star Trek universe fits surprisingly well with Magic. Crews, spaceships, diplomatic decisions, alien worlds, and major conflicts can be brought to life as cards, mechanics, and Commander strategies. At the same time, the set appeals to more than just experienced Magic Players. Star Trek fans who haven't had much to do with Magic so far also get a relatively easy entry point with products like the Beginner Box.

The set has the set code TRK. The associated Commander cards have the code TRC, while the so-called Stardates cards use the code SDS. The main set Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek is legal in all formats. The Commander cards and Stardates cards are legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage, while individual reprints are also legal in the formats where they are already allowed.

Release, Prerelease and important dates

The worldwide Tabletop Release of Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek is November 13, 2026. The set appears on MTG Arena as early as November 10, 2026. The Prerelease takes place from November 6 to 12, 2026.

For us at cardcosmos, one thing is especially important: We are an official WPN Store. This means we can offer and ship Magic products during the Prerelease period, in accordance with the applicable WPN rules. So if you don't want to wait until the global Release, take a look at our Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek category.

Additional events are planned around the set, including Magic Presents: To Boldly Go from November 13, 2026, to January 28, 2027, as well as Commander Party events in November and December. This means the Star Trek Set should be of interest to Commander Players not just as a product, but also as an event theme.

Which products are being released for Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek?

Wizards has now confirmed a broad product lineup. This lets you experience the set in a variety of ways, depending on your interests. If you want to draft, go for Play Boosters or Draft Night. If you want to collect, take a look at Collector Booster, Scene Boxes, or the Beam Me Up Bundle. Commander fans get four ready-to-play Commander decks, as well as matching Collector's Edition Commander decks.

Play Booster and Play Booster Box

The Play Booster are the classic core product for Draft, Sealed, and regular Booster openings. A Play Booster Box contains 30 Play Booster. Each Play Booster contains 14 Magic cards and a double-sided token as a non-Foil card.

In the Booster, you’ll find 7 common cards, 3 uncommon cards, 1 wildcard of any Rarity, 1 traditional Foil card of any Rarity, 1 rare or mythic rare card, and 1 land card. In 1 out of every 25 Play Boosters, a Stardates card replaces a common card.

For Players, Play Booster are the most versatile choice because they’re suitable both for opening and for Limited formats. Anyone who simply wants to get into the set and collect lots of cards from Magic: The Gathering | Those looking to discover Star Trek usually start with Play Boosters.

Collector Booster and Collector Booster Box

The Collector Booster are aimed more at Collectors. A Collector Booster Box contains 12 Collector Booster. Each Collector Booster contains 15 Magic cards and an art card or a traditional Foil token.

In Collector Boosters, you’ll find lots of Foils, cards with extended borders, Booster Fun cards, and special variants such as Surge Foil LCARS cards, Klingon Script cards, Stardates cards, and iconic lands. Most importantly, signed Headliner cards can only appear in Collector Boosters.

So if you’re mainly after special variants, premium cards, and collectibles, Collector Booster are the set’s key product.

Commander decks

This makes it possible to link the products naturally later, without having to spell out every name unnecessarily. So anyone searching specifically can find, for example, the German version Flotte der Föderation or the English version Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector's Edition Commander Deck “Federation Fleet” in English. The same applies to Außenteam and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector's Edition Commander Deck “Away Team” in English, Klingonischer Zorn and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector's Edition Commander Deck “Klingon Wrath” in English, as well as Wir sind die Borg and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector's Edition Commander Deck “We Are Borg” in English.

Each Commander Deck contains a ready-to-play 100-card Deck, including a traditional Foil cover Commander with borderless art and 99 non-foil cards. It also includes 32 new Magic cards, plus 10 double-sided token cards, a reference card, and a Deck Box.

The four decks are especially exciting because Commander already draws heavily on legendary characters, factions, and clearly defined deck themes. Star Trek offers plenty of material for this. The Federation, away teams, Klingons, and Borg already sound like the basis for distinct Commander strategies.

Collector's Edition Commander decks

In addition to the regular Commander decks, the Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector's Edition Commander Deck Set in English is also available. Here, too, there are four deck themes: Flotte der Föderation, Außenteam, Klingonischer Zorn, and Wir sind die Borg, as well as the English versions Federation Fleet, Away Team, Klingon Wrath, and We Are Borg.

These Collector's Edition decks also include a ready-to-play Commander Deck with 100 cards, but are much more focused on premium looks. The cover Commander is included as a borderless Surge Foil Card, and the other 99 cards are also Surge Foil cards. They also include 10 double-sided Surge Foil tokens, a rules reference card, and a Deck Box.

For Players who simply want to play a Deck, the regular Commander decks are perfectly sufficient. For Collectors or Commander fans who want to own a premium version of a Star Trek Deck, the Collector's Edition Commander decks are the more striking option.

Bundle

The Bundle is a good middle ground between boosters, Accessories, and a collectible product. It is available as Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Bundle in German and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Bundle in English and contains 9 Play Booster, 15 traditional Foil basic lands, 15 non-foil basic lands, one traditional Foil Promo Card, 2 reference cards, an oversized Spindown life counter, and a card storage box.

The Bundle is a great choice if you don't want to open a whole Booster Display right away, but still want several Booster, lands, a Promo, and a practical box.

Beam Me Up Bundle

The Beam Me Up Bundle is one of the most exciting products for Star Trek fans and Collectors. It is also available as a Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Beam Me Up Bundle in German and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Beam Me Up Bundle in English.

It contains 8 Play Boosters, 1 Collector Booster, 15 traditional Foil basic lands, 15 non-foil basic lands, 2 traditional Foil Beam Me Up Bundle promo cards, 2 rules reference cards, an oversized Spindown life counter, and a card storage box.

The Beam Me Up Bundle promo cards are particularly interesting. There are 8 different promo cards in total, and each Beam Me Up Bundle contains 2 of them as traditional foil cards. These cards depict spaceships from Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek in the form of a schematic illustration. For fans of Star Trek ships, this is likely to be a major collectible highlight.

Beginner Box

The Beginner Box is designed for new Players and is available as Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Beginner Box in German and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Beginner Box in English. It contains 10 themed Jumpstart half-decks, each with 20 cards. Two of these half-decks are designed as tutorial decks and are intended to be played against each other.

In addition, the Beginner Box contains 5 non-foil tokens, 2 playmat game boards, 2 gameplay guides, 2 rules reference cards, 2 Spindown Dice, and a quick-start guide. If you love Star Trek but haven’t played much Magic yet, the Beginner Box is probably the easiest way to get started with the set.

Draft Night

Draft Night is designed for a compact draft experience and is available as the Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Draft Night Box in German and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Draft Night Box in English. The product contains 12 Play Booster, 1 Collector Booster, 90 non-foil basic lands, 10 double-sided token cards as non-foil cards, and a draft insert.

Draft Night is particularly interesting if you want to get started right away with a small group. It's a product for game nights where not everyone wants to gather Boosters and lands individually.

Scene Boxes

Two Scene Boxes are being released for Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek: the Enterprise-Q Scene Box and the Divergent Timeline Scene Box. Both are available in German and English, as the Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Enterprise-Q Scene Box in German, Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Enterprise-Q Scene Box in English, Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Divergent Timeline Scene Box in German, and Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Divergent Timeline Scene Box in English.

Each Scene Box contains 3 Play Booster, 6 traditional borderless Foil cards, 6 art cards, and a display stand. The Enterprise-Q Scene Box shows the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in an encounter with Q. The Divergent Timeline Scene Box tells an alternative story involving James T. Kirk and a crew setting off on their first voyage. These products are especially exciting for Collectors, because the six cards together form a larger scene.

Prerelease Pack

The Prerelease Pack is designed for Prerelease events and is available as a Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Prerelease Pack in German and a Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Prerelease Pack in English. It contains 6 Play Booster, 1 traditional foil card of rare or mythic rare Rarity, 1 Deck Box, and 1 Spindown Dice.

If you want to experience the set in Sealed format before the official Release, the Prerelease Pack is the right product. A Prerelease for a Universes Beyond set with so many familiar characters and new mechanics should be especially fun.

What special card variants are there?

Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek brings several special card printings and collector variants. The set draws not only on the characters and stories of Star Trek, but also on the series' visual style.

Signed Headliner cards

The most striking feature is the signed headliner cards. There are 7 different signed cards, and each one was personally signed by a Star Trek actor or a Star Trek actress. There are approximately 250 copies of each signed card.

These cards can appear only in Collector Boosters. Regardless of the Language of the booster, the signed card itself is always in English. For Collectors, this is an important point because these cards are genuine Star Trek collectibles within a Magic set.

Stardates cards

The Stardates cards combine familiar Magic cards with Star Trek moments. They are recognizable reprints featuring new Star Trek illustrations. One example is Sheoldred, the Apocalypse as Khan, Engineered Evil.

There are 30 different Stardates cards in total. Non-foil versions may appear in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. Traditional Foil versions are available only in Collector Boosters.

LCARS cards and LCARS Shock Lands

The LCARS cards draw on the Enterprise's familiar computer interface. LCARS stands for Library Computer Access and Retrieval System and is one of the easily recognizable design elements of Star Trek.

The LCARS Shock Lands are especially exciting. All 10 Shock Lands appear in Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek with LCARS frames. They include well-known lands like Overgrown Tomb and Breeding Pool. In total, there are 29 LCARS cards and 10 LCARS Shock Lands. Non-foil and traditional Foil versions appear in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters, while Surge Foil variants appear only in Collector Boosters.

Classic Enterprise cards

The Classic Enterprise Cards are visually inspired by old Star Trek posters and capture the look of the original series. There are 24 Classic Enterprise Cards. Non-foil and traditional Foil versions appear in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters, while Surge Foil versions are only available in Collector Boosters.

Scene Cards

The Scene Cards depict larger scenes spanning multiple cards. There are 25 Scene Cards in total across Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. In addition, two standalone products are being released: the Enterprise-Q Scene Box and the Divergent Timeline Scene Box, each containing 6 traditional Foil Scene Cards.

What mechanics are coming to Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek?

Wizards has already revealed several mechanics. The most important are Assimilate, Face a Dilemma, Federation, as well as the return of Spacecraft and Station.

Assimilate

Assimilate fits the Borg perfectly. With this keyword action, you either gain control of a creature or put a creature card onto the battlefield under your control. That creature then gets a +1/+1 counter, becomes a Borg Artifact Creature, and loses its other creature types.

This is a very strong thematic fit, because the Borg don't simply destroy others; they assimilate them into their Collective. In gameplay, this mechanic could be especially interesting because it changes opponents' resources while strengthening your own board at the same time.

Face a Dilemma

Face a Dilemma is about making decisions. A Players faces a dilemma when they choose one or more modes for a spell or ability. Certain cards respond to this and provide additional effects.

This fits Star Trek well, because many episodes revolve around difficult decisions. This mechanic could be exciting for Magic, because it rewards choices and makes cards with modes even more interesting.

Federation

Federation is an ability word focused on creature type diversity. The ability checks how many different creature types among non-Borg creatures a Players controls.

This captures the Federation’s core idea well: different species and cultures working together. For Deck building, this could mean combining as many different creature types as possible to strengthen your Federation effects.

Spacecraft and Station

Spacecraft and Station return from Edge of Eternities and play a major role in Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek. A Spacecraft starts as an artifact and can gain charge counters through Station. This gives it additional abilities and can even turn it into a creature later.

For a Star Trek Set, this is an obvious and fitting mechanic. Spaceships aren’t just decoration, but a central part of the series. Cards like U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Galaxy-Class show how prominently spaceships feature in this set.

Which cards have already been revealed?

A complete card list hasn’t been released yet, but Wizards has already shown several cards and variants. These include Captain James T. Kirk, Captain Kathryn Janeway, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Seven of Nine, Borg Queen, Perfection Manifest, Hoshi Sato, Exolinguist, Set Phasers to..., Amok Time, The City on the Edge of Forever, Salt Vampire, and U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Galaxy-Class.

Promotional cards like Highly Illogical, Munitions Enthusiast, Solemn Simulacrum, and Burst Lightning were also shown in a Star Trek style. Also particularly exciting is the previously mentioned Stardates version of Sheoldred, the Apocalypse as Khan, Engineered Evil.

It’s already clear that the set doesn’t focus on just a few series or characters, but spans many eras of Star Trek. Wizards describes the set itself as a journey through all Star Trek eras.

Who is Magic: The Gathering worth it for? | Star Trek?

Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek appeals to several audiences. For Commander Players, the four Commander decks are especially interesting. Flotte der Föderation, Außenteam, Klingonischer Zorn and Wir sind die Borg deliver ready-to-play decks with a strong theme. Those who prefer to collect or play with English product names can find the same decks as Federation Fleet, Away Team, Klingon Wrath and We Are Borg.

For Collectors, Collector Booster, signed Headliner cards, LCARS variants, Stardates cards, Scene Cards, Classic Enterprise cards and the Beam Me Up Bundle are especially exciting. The hand-signed cards in particular are something new to Magic.

For Beginners, the Beginner Box is the best choice. It’s designed to make it easier for new players to get started. Star Trek fans who want to try Magic get a product that won’t overwhelm them with complex Deck building right away.

For Limited Players, Play Booster, Prerelease packs and Draft Night are interesting options. The main set can be played in Draft and Sealed, and the Play Booster contain cards from TRK and SDS when opened there.
