What Happened: Star Trek Cards and Products Revealed

Star Trek releases November 13, 2026; prerelease runs November 6 to 12, and MTG Arena gets it November 10. TRK is the main code, TRC is Commander, and SDS is Stardates.

Play Boosters contain 14 cards and Collector Boosters 15. Wizards lists seven signed headliners, approximately 250 copies each, hand-signed by Star Trek actors and only in English Collector Boosters. It also lists 30 Stardates reprints, 29 LCARS frames including 10 shock lands, 24 Classic Enterprise cards, and 25 borderless scenes including four multi-card scenes.

The listed cards are a dated Scryfall snapshot, not the full set. The treatment counts come from Wizards' Star Trek collecting page.

Scryfall lists 91 TRK cards: 50 commons, 23 uncommons, 14 rares, and four mythics. The mythics are Dr. Beverly Crusher, Captain James T. Kirk, Captain Kathryn Janeway, and Crystalline Entity. The 10 rare shock lands are Blood Crypt, Breeding Pool, Godless Shrine, Hallowed Fountain, Overgrown Tomb, Sacred Foundry, Steam Vents, Stomping Ground, Temple Garden, and Watery Grave. Wizards doesn't state the set size, so 91 isn't a complete total.

The Three New Mechanics: Assimilate, Face a Dilemma, and Federation

Assimilate appears here on TRC, not TRK. Borg Queen, Perfection Manifest says, "When Borg Queen enters, assimilate target creature card from an opponent's graveyard. (Put it onto the battlefield under your control with a +1/+1 counter. It's a Borg artifact creature and loses all other creature types.)" It's the only Assimilate card in the data checked.

Face a Dilemma uses modal choices. Seven of Nine says, "Whenever you face a dilemma, draw a card. (You face a dilemma as you choose one or more modes for a spell or ability.)" By that reminder text, Kirk's enter-or-attack trigger looks like a dilemma, because you choose a mode, and with an empty hand you choose one or more. That is a reading of the reminder text, not an official ruling.

Federation groups abilities that care about the number of creature types. Saavik, Stoic Student says, "Federation - When Saavik enters, she deals X damage to target attacking or blocking creature an opponent controls, where X is the number of creature types among non-Borg creatures you control." Hoshi Sato, Exolinguist uses the same count to look at top X, taking one to hand and putting the rest on the bottom randomly.

Spacecraft and Station are the two returning mechanics, and U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Galaxy-Class shows both. It says, "Station (Tap another creature you control: Put charge counters equal to its power on this Spacecraft. Station only as a sorcery. It's an artifact creature at 7+.)" and has flying and vigilance at 7+.

Notable Star Trek Cards Revealed So Far

Costs are written as generic mana followed by color letters, so 2W means two generic and one white.

Crystalline Entity is a board wipe only when you cast it. Its enters trigger checks "if you cast it," so putting it onto the battlefield another way destroys nothing. When it does trigger, it destroys all nonartifact creatures, yours included.

Janeway grants an extra land drop each turn. Her explore trigger applies whenever she or another creature you control enters: a land from the top of your library goes to your hand, and anything else gives the creature a +1/+1 counter before you keep the card on top or put it in the graveyard.

Why It Matters: Standard, Collectors and What Is Still Unknown

Wizards says every Star Trek product is legal in all formats except TRC and SDS, which are legal only in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage. That puts the main TRK set in Standard, in line with how Universes Beyond sets are handled.

The collector treatments are where the counts are firm, since Wizards published every figure listed above. The signed headliners are the scarce ones: about 250 copies each, hand-signed by Star Trek actors, and found only in English Collector Boosters.

Still unknown: the set size, the full card list, and which cards command the Commander decks. The 91-card listing is a snapshot from October 1.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does Star Trek MTG release? Star Trek MTG releases November 13, 2026. Prerelease runs November 6 to 12, and MTG Arena availability is November 10. Wizards uses TRK for the main set, TRC for Commander, and SDS for Stardates. These dates come from the official collecting page.

What are the new mechanics in Star Trek MTG? Star Trek MTG introduces Assimilate, Face a Dilemma, and Federation. Assimilate puts a creature from an opponent's graveyard onto your battlefield as a Borg artifact creature with a +1/+1 counter. Face a Dilemma triggers on mode choices. Federation counts creature types among non-Borg creatures you control.

How many cards are in the Star Trek MTG set? An official total has not been published. Scryfall listed 91 TRK cards on October 1, 2026: 50 commons, 23 uncommons, 14 rares, and four mythics. That is a dated listed-card count, not the complete set size, and the full list remains unpublished.

Is Star Trek MTG legal in Standard? Yes, TRK is legal in Standard and all other formats under Wizards' stated line. TRC and SDS are exceptions, listed only for Commander, Legacy, and Vintage. The set codes separate the main release from the companion products in format legality.

What are LCARS frame cards in Star Trek MTG? LCARS frame cards are a special Star Trek treatment. Wizards lists 29, including 10 shock lands. That is separate from 24 Classic Enterprise cards, 25 borderless scene cards, and 30 Stardates reprints, so those counts are not one LCARS total.
