Friendly greetings and welcome to the final frontier. The Cardsphere Team is pleased to announce Star Trek is available to trade, including cards with set codes:.

I'm John Sherwood, Cardsphere's unofficial new Magic set correspondent. Follow me on an away mission to explore the cards of the latest Universes Beyond product. Star Trek has nostalgic phasers set to kill my wallet, but I've adapted.

I might have more control of my spending than my teenage Trekkie self, but resistance to packing this guide with Trek references is futile.

Whether you're a Trekkie, a Trekker, or a Magic fan with no Trek ties, this set is ready for the Cardsphere community to assimilate into our trading collective.

All Star Trek MTG collections

Collector Booster Exclusives

You won't find these special treatments in play boosters, but you can trade them as singles on Cardsphere.

Headliner

Reading the card explains the card, unless the card is an ultra-exclusive, textless collectors' piece that will fetch absurd secondary market prices.

The headliners for Star Trek are hand-autographed by the actors of seven iconic Trek characters. Wizards of the Coast made 250 copies of each, and each one is actually hand signed.

These are the headliner card and their respective actors:

Rest in peace, Patrick Stewart.

On a lighter note, WotC made me grin with the collector number trick on the signature cards for Captains Kirk and Picard.

1701 and 1701D are the registry numbers for their respective starship Enterprises.

English-language headliner cards may appear in Collector Boosters of any language.

Extended Art

Extended art cards offer a wide-angle view of illustrations from the main set.

As a creature of habit, I combed through TRK's extended arts for additional visual details.

If you're a fan of Nyota Uhura, then you're going to want the extended art version of Brazen Bluff because the regular card frame covers her up.

There's another batch of over 200 extended art cards from

Non-foil and traditional foil may appear in Collector Boosters of any language.

Borderless Commander Cards

Booster inclusions of cards made for Commander preconstructed decks are a win for Cardsphere users.

These printings boost secondary market supply, which is great for a community built on trading singles.

This isn't the first set that WotC deployed this strategy to get more Commander cards into players' hands, and hopefully it's not the last.

It's even better when those boosters contain alternate art versions of made-for-Commander cards.

Six rares and four mythic rares from the Star Trek Commander products have borderless alternate arts that can only be found in Collector Boosters.

A selection of them are character portraits with a starry background, like this inquisitive Data, Exploring Humanity.

Star Trek Collector Boosters may contain non-foil versions of the Star Trek precon face commanders, as well as non-foil and traditional foil versions of the ten borderless alternate art precon cards.

More Booster Fun

The following treatments appear in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters in one form or another.

Of course, we all know the best way to get them is directly from other users on Cardsphere.

Borderless Lands

Six all-new lands named for memorable Star Trek locations received borderless alternate arts.

Five of these cards are part of a horizontal cycle of monocolor lands with a chance to enter untapped for an additional effect.

I'm always down for incidental graveyard recursion, and surveil is usually better than scrying.

The Unicomplex can do one or the other as long as it isn't your first or second land.

Borderless Star Trek lands are avialable as non-foil or traditional foil from all booster products.

Scenes

Four different borderless scenes exhibit Star Trek's broad embrace of many tropes and sub-genres.

Unimatrix Zero delves into the sci-fi thriller aspects of Borg episodes.

Assimilation scenes pit imperiled characters against the horror of losing their free will in a fate worse than death.

Resistance Is Futile shows the agony of getting caught by a Borg drone, as the rest of the assembled scene depicts the climax of Star Trek: Voyager.

Indulging Trek's goofy streak, Deep Space Find is a fun easter egg hunt for fans of the series.

Nine cards, including Captain Benjamin Sisko, apply a light touch to a series that was often grim or introspective.

For better or worse, alternate realities and timelines make up a lot of Star Trek.

I never watched the Mirror, Mirror episode of The Original Series, but I know of it from follow-on episodes later in the Star Trek franchise.

The Mirror, Mirror scene captures the face off between alter-egos from parallel dimensions.

I honestly have no idea which Kirk is which between the art for Mirror Universe Intrusion and Kirk, Commanding Officer.

However, That Mr. Spock, Science Officer is a dead give away with the melodramatic villain goatee.

Mr. Spock, Science Officer

The Borg episodes of The Next Generation stand the test of time as some of the most pivotal story arcs in all of Star Trek.

Showdown at Sector 001 drops the audience into a front row seat for the confrontation between Data and his mentor-turned-menace.

Lieutenant Commander Data connected with Locutus, the One Who Speaks in the climactic effort to save Captain Picard and thwart the Borg.

The collector number on the borderless scene version of Data also has significance to the episode.

Locutus led the Borg against the Federation at the Battle of Wolf 359.

Cards from all four borderless scenes have a chance to appear as  either non-foil and traditional foil in any booster.

LCARS Showcase

I looked it up so you don't have to. LCARs is an acronym for Library Computer Access and Retrieval System.

The crisp lines and high contrast color palette match the touch screen displays on Federation star ships.

Frankly, Magic's default gold borders on multicolor cards clash with most of the color pips and art.

However, Dathon, His Heart Open shows the kind of smooth visual design WotC can accomplish with a little extra care.

There are 39 total LCARS showcase cards, including all ten shock lands. Available in non-foil and traditional foil in all boosters. Surge foils appear in Collector Boosters only.

Classic Enterprise Showcase

The graphic style and layout of the Classic Enterprise Showcase pays tribute to posters for The Original Series.

Doesn't young George Tekei look dashing as Sulu, Space Swashbuckler?

Oh my. Classic Enterprise showcase may be found in all boosters in non-foil, or traditional foil. Surge foils appear in Collector Boosters only.

Klingon Frame/Klingon Script

The Klingon showcase frame exemplifies the brutal aesthetic of Star Trek's iconic warrior culture.

The designers understood the assignment on these seven cards. Few Klingons personified their society's ideals like Gowron, Eager for Battle.

English-language versions are available in non-foil or traditional foil in all boosters.

Meanwhile, Klingon Script versions have different collector numbers, the only available treatment is traditional foil, and sealed distribution via Collector Boosters.

Klingon Script cards are functionally the same as the Klingon frame cards, but the text is actually Klingon language.

Full-Art Basic Lands

Two different sets of alternate art basics, with full-frame illustrations, exhibit two different ways Star Trek characters experience different environments.

Transport down to a strange new world on the Away Team basics, such as Island #308.

You don't want to leave the safety of the ship to experience new things. Take a staycation on a holodeck, Star Trek's fully immersive virtual reality.

Holodeck lands like Swamp #314 suggest the LARPing possibilities of advanced technology.

Both full-art styles have chances to appear in all booster products. Holodeck lands might be non-foil or traditional foil in any booster product.

Away Team lands will always be non-foil in Play Boosters. Bundles contain Away Team lands in both non-foil and traditional foil.

Away team lands from Collector Boosters will usually be traditional foil, but there's a small chance you'll find them in surge foil.

Stardates Bonus Sheet

Bonus Sheet cards for Star Trek have the SDS set code. All of them are reprints of existing Magic cards, with new Star Trek illustrations.

I couldn't restrain a smile when I saw the words, "Hateful Legacy" on a reprint of Sen Triplets.

I've encountered many Magic players who love to hate that card. It's not all jokes and cards that will get you hated out a Commander pod. Talon Gates of Madara is a much-needed reprint for multiple formats.

This bonus sheet is all borderless, and distributed as non-foil via any booster product. Traditional foil Stardates cards only come from Collector Boosters.

Other

A handful of special cards come from specialty sealed products.

Welcome Decks

The cards from the welcome decks are designed to onboard new players.

They might not be glamorous, but the mechanically unique ones are worth noting. Spock, Logical Choice is actually a decent 5-drop with a proactive keyword, big toughness, and tap to draw.

I have no lore insights into Badgey, Malicious Glitch, nor do I care to.

However, it's an artifact that drains the table when it becomes tapped, with no limits on repetition.

I'm betting there's a reason this weird character is lethal combo payoff, but I'm afraid to dive that deep into Star Trek wikis.

Scene Boxes

Wizards of the Coast keeps packing scene boxes with unique and interesting cards, and players keep buying them.

For some reason, the two scene boxes for Star Trek focus on two of the franchise's biggest controversies.

First, Divergent Timeline features the crew of the Enterprise as they appeared in the 2009 Star Trek reboot. The story, with its alternate timeline, is divisive among Star Trek fans.

Second, Enterprise-Q focuses on a character with no middle ground. People who watch Star Trek either love or hate Q.

Both scene boxes contain six all-new cards with borderless art that connects to make the image on the box.

Bundle Promos

Finally, each Beam Me Up Bundle comes with two out of eight promos (randomized).

The Beam Me Up Bundle Promos emulate the starship schematics that appear on various features of Star Trek sets.

This U.S.S. Enterprise-A, Free Spirit is a prime example of crossover design.

I just wish these had a non-foil option, but alas, they are shiny treatment only.

Happy Trading!

Star Trek is a multi-generational franchise, beloved by fans of all ages. In that regard, it's a natural fit to the fanbase of Magic: The Gathering.

Hopefully we get to make first contact with some new Cardsphere users as Trekkies make the plunge into the Magic community.

Make use of the comment section to tell us about the Star Trek cards you're excited to play with.

You can also join our conversations on the Cardsphere Discord. Until next set, Live Long and Prosper, and happy trading!
