The four Commander decks
Each deck is themed after a Star Trek crew, fleet or army (deck themes per Wizards' product descriptions):
- Federation Fleet, led by Jean-Luc Picard: strengthen your crew and charge your starships.
- Landing Party, led by Commander Spock: bonuses for controlling differently named lands, plus landfall.
- Klingon Fury, led by Worf: attack several opponents at once to grow your Warriors.
- We Are the Borg, led by the Borg Queen: Borg tokens and assimilating your opponents' creatures.
Every deck is $74.99 MSRP, or $159.99 for the Collector's Edition, which has the same list in surge foil (Wizards).
Legality and mechanics
The main set (TRK) is legal in all formats, including Standard. The Commander decks (TRC) and the 30 stardates reprints (SDS) are legal in Commander, Legacy and Vintage. New and returning mechanics include assimilate, face a dilemma, the federation ability word, and Spacecraft with station, returning from Edge of Eternities (Wizards).
Booster Fun and chase cards
- 7 actor-signed headliner cards, about 250 copies of each, only in Collector Boosters.
- 30 stardates cards: reprints of cards from Magic's history with Star Trek art (non-foil in both booster types, traditional foil only in Collector Boosters).
- 29 LCARS frame cards and all 10 shock lands in an LCARS frame (surge foil versions only in Collector Boosters).
- 24 classic Enterprise poster-style cards and 25 borderless scene cards, plus 6 new-to-Magic scene cards in each Scene Box.
Per Wizards.
Event promos
WPN Commander events give a Highly Illogical or Munitions Enthusiast promo; Magic Presents: To Boldly Go gives a traditional foil Solemn Simulacrum; Standard Showdown winners get a Burst Lightning or a second promo Wizards hasn't revealed yet. All while supplies last (Wizards).
What to buy
Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek
Verdict: Buy Standard-legal UB set. Play Booster $6.99, Collector $37.99, Bundle $69.99 (MSRP). Buy for drafting/Trek fans; skip sealed speculation.
Good gift for: Star Trek fans and anyone who drafts with friends: a Bundle ($69.99 MSRP) or a few Play Boosters, not sealed boxes bought to speculate on.
Star Trek Commander Decks (Federation Fleet, Landing Party, Klingon Fury, We Are the Borg)
Verdict: Buy Four decks at $74.99, Collector's Editions $159.99 MSRP. NerdSnack reports regular decks preordering near MSRP and Collector's Editions well above it — buy regular, skip CE at markup.
Good gift for: Commander players, especially Trek fans: a regular $74.99 deck is ready to play out of the box (skip the marked-up Collector's Editions).
Value at MSRP
Simple arithmetic from Wizards' MSRPs, so you can compare the boxes:
- Bundle: 9 Play Boosters alone are $62.91 at MSRP, so the Bundle's $69.99 adds lands, a foil promo, a spindown and a storage box for about $7.08.
- Beam Me Up Bundle: $99.99, $30.00 more than the Bundle: you swap 1 Play Booster for 1 Collector Booster ($37.99 MSRP) and get 2 Spacecraft schematic promos instead of the single Bundle promo.
- Draft Night: 12 Play Boosters plus 1 Collector Booster are $121.87 at MSRP; the box is $119.99 and adds 90 lands and tokens.
If you want to collect the signed cards or the surge foil Booster Fun, that is Collector Booster territory; for drafting or a first taste of the set, Play Boosters, a Bundle or Draft Night are the cheaper way in. Prices in stores often fall after release, so preordering mainly makes sense if you want the product on day one.
