The Star Trek set releases 13 November 2026 and it’s well spoiled already: 91 distinct cards of the 135 announced, according to Scryfall. They’re all there, with images, in the set gallery. Star Trek Commander, which ships the same day, has 40 of its 41 cards revealed; it has its own section at the end of the card list.
Everything below comes from Scryfall, which only lists officially revealed cards.
The big one: all ten shocklands are back
The ten shocklands are reprinted in the set. They join Standard on 13 November and stay until 2029, since they don’t rotate with Nauctis in February.
| Hallowed Fountain {W}{U} | Watery Grave {U}{B} | Blood Crypt {B}{R} |
| Stomping Ground {R}{G} | Temple Garden {G}{W} | Godless Shrine {W}{B} |
| Overgrown Tomb {B}{G} | Steam Vents {U}{R} | Sacred Foundry {R}{W} |
| Breeding Pool {G}{U} |
They enter untapped if you pay 2 life. It’s the best mana fixing Standard has had in years: three-colour decks stop being a wish and start being playable. If you’re buying cards for next year, buy these — and the reprint will push prices down, so don’t rush on 13 November.
That’s 16 reprints in total: the ten lands, five basics with new art, and Reckless Impulse.
Federation against the Borg
The set pits the two factions against each other with different rules.
Federation is an ability word that counts creature types among your non-Borg creatures: it rewards a varied board. Hoshi Sato, Exolinguist ({4}{U}) looks at X cards and keeps one; Saavik, Stoic Student ({4}{W}) deals X damage to an attacking or blocking creature, at flash speed.
Borg does the opposite: black artifact creatures that pile up and pump each other. Collective Drone ({1}{B}) has power equal to your artifact creatures, Assault Drone ({3}{B}) gives them all +1/+0, and Hive Mind Coprocessor ({4}{B}) lets each one draw a card on combat damage for 1 life.
Mechanics
Station returns from Edge of Eternities: tap a creature to put charge counters on a Spacecraft. The only one revealed is the U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Galaxy-Class ({3}, legendary artifact — Spacecraft): the first time it gets counters each turn, exile the top card of your library and you may play it that turn.
Face a dilemma is the new keyword, and it’s simpler than it sounds: you face a dilemma whenever you choose one or more modes for a spell or ability. So far only Seven of Nine ({2}{U}{B}) rewards it, drawing a card each time it happens.
The headline cards
| Card | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Captain James T. Kirk | {2}{R} | Modal on enter and attack; with an empty hand you pick several modes |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway | {3}{G} | Extra land per turn, and your creatures explore as they enter |
| Dr. Beverly Crusher | {2}{W} | Doubles your lifegain triggers |
| Crystalline Entity | {8} | Mythic: flying, and if you cast it, destroy all non-artifact creatures |
| U.S.S. Enterprise-D | {3} | The ship, with Station |
| The City on the Edge of Forever | {3}{W}{B} | Saga whose chapter I phases out every artifact and creature |
There are only four mythics among the reveals: Kirk, Janeway, Crusher and Crystalline Entity. The rest is 50 commons, 23 uncommons and 14 rares — ten of which are the lands.
Plus three Sagas, which this set uses to tell specific episodes: Amok Time, In the Pale Moonlight and The City on the Edge of Forever.
The other 61 revealed cards
61 more cards from the main set, on top of the headline ones above. The pattern: white and black bring the Federation and Borg factions, red brings Klingons, green is counters and landfall, and blue is stuns and tricks. Only two rares and no mythics among them: everything else is common or uncommon.
Two rares are worth a look:
- General Chang, Cold Warrior ({B}, rare, 1/2) — a legendary Klingon: for {1} and a sacrificed creature, it puts a +1/+1 counter on each Klingon you control.
- Salt Vampire ({1}{B}, rare, 2/2) — lifelink; when it enters, look at target opponent’s hand, and you may choose a nonland card from it: that player exiles it, then draws a card.

Star Trek Commander: 38 more cards
It’s not a single product: it’s four 100-card Commander decks — Federation Fleet, Landing Party, Klingon Fury, and We Are the Borg — each with 32 new-to-Magic cards, at $74.99 ($159.99 for the Collector’s Edition), releasing on 13 November 2026 alongside the main set. Across the four decks, Scryfall lists 40 distinct new cards of the 41 announced: 19 commons, 9 uncommons, 6 rares and 6 mythics. The 38 cards listed here are the ones this page hadn’t covered yet. It’s a Commander product, so check each card’s Standard legality on Scryfall before buying.
The mythics and rares
- Captain Kirk, Boldly Going ({1}{G}{W}{U}, mythic, 3/4) — vigilance; your Spacecraft creatures get +3/+3; whenever it enters or attacks, search your library and/or graveyard for a basic land or a card named Starship Enterprise and put it into your hand.
- Picard, Steadfast Captain ({4}{W}{W}, mythic, 4/4) — whenever it enters or attacks, two +1/+1 counters on another creature you control.
- Spock, Logical Choice ({3}{U}{U}, mythic, 3/5) — vigilance; {T}: draw a card.
- Borg Queen, Perfection Manifest ({4}{B}{B}, mythic, artifact creature 1/4) — artifact creatures you control get +2/+0; on entry, assimilate a creature card from an opponent’s graveyard (it enters under your control with a +1/+1 counter as a Borg artifact creature). This is the card debuting the Assimilate keyword action, confirmed by Wizards: it gives you control of a creature or puts one onto the battlefield, with a +1/+1 counter, turned into a Borg artifact creature.
- Kirk, Enterprising Captain ({3}{R}, mythic, 4/3) — menace; whenever it attacks while your creatures have total power 8 or greater, exile the top card of your library and you may play it this turn.
- Benjamin Sisko, Besieged ({4}{G}{G}, mythic, 5/5) — play with the top card of your library revealed; you may play lands and cast creature spells from the top.
- Operations Officer ({3}{W}, rare, 2/2) — lifelink; draws a card on entry and gets a +1/+1 counter whenever it attacks.
- Trelane, Squire of Gothos ({5}{U}, rare, 4/5) — vigilance, ward {2}, and it can’t be blocked.
- Bio-Asset Allocator ({3}{B}{B}, rare, artifact creature 3/4) — your artifact creatures have “whenever this creature attacks, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.”
- Klingon Strike Force ({3}{R}{R}, rare, 5/5) — trample, haste, and 2 damage to each opponent when it dies.
- Tenacious Tosk ({3}{G}, rare, 4/4) — can’t be blocked by more than one creature, and grows whenever it deals combat damage to a player.
- Christine Chapel, Combat Medic ({3}{G}, rare, 2/2) — on entry gain life equal to the number of differently named lands you control, and put two +1/+1 counters on it whenever you gain life.

What it means for Standard
It joins on 13 November and pushes nobody out: the next rotation is February 2027. The list of legal sets, with dates, is in Standard-legal sets; before this one comes Reality Fracture, on 2 October.
The usual warning: if a Commander product with a similar name ships the same day, its cards aren’t Standard legal. It happened with The Hobbit. Check the specific card on Scryfall before buying.
What’s still unknown
- The 44 cards still unrevealed (135 minus the 91 we know). With only 4 mythics among the 91, the bombs are yet to come.
- Whether Face a dilemma shows up on more than one card or stays a nod. Plenty of the new cards are modal, but only Seven of Nine rewards it so far.
- How many Station Spacecraft there are besides the Enterprise.
The set gallery updates itself as Wizards reveals more cards.
