MTG Star Trek: Every Commander Deck Leader Known So Far

Picard, Spock, Worf, and the Borg Queen lead the four precons, with full decklists rolling out October 26 to 29.

Picard, Spock, Worf, and the Borg Queen lead the four precons, with full decklists rolling out October 26 to 29.

Magic: The Gathering’s Star Trek crossover ships with four three-color Commander precons. Each deck now has a confirmed face commander. Every one of them is built around a new mechanic that tells you how the deck wants to play, from Picard’s starship engine to the Borg’s habit of stealing your opponents’ creatures.

Quick answer: Jean-Luc Picard, Luminary leads Federation Fleet. Commander Spock leads Landing Party. Worf, Defiant Commander leads Klingon Fury. The Borg Queen leads We Are the Borg.

White appears in all four decks. Green appears only in Landing Party. That makes Spock the only option if you want a Star Trek precon that ramps and leans on lands.

What each Star Trek face commander does

The commanders below are listed in the order their decks get full previews. The Borg deck goes first and Spock’s deck goes last.

The Borg Queen (We Are the Borg)

The Borg Queen costs seven mana and is a 4/4, giving your artifact creatures +2/+2. When she enters the battlefield or attacks, select an opponent; they exile cards from their library’s top until a creature card appears. You assimilate that creature, then the remaining exiled cards go to the bottom of that library.

With Assimilate, take the creature out of exile and put it onto the battlefield under your control with a +1/+1 counter. It is now a Borg artifact creature, with all its other creature types removed. Since every creature acquired this way is an artifact creature, the Queen’s +2/+2 bonus applies to it right away.

Locutus of Borg has also been shown alongside this deck, and he takes a different route. He has lifelink and gives artifact creatures you control this ability: “Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, create a 1/1 colorless Borg artifact creature token.” He rewards going wide with cheap, evasive artifact creatures, while the Queen rewards taking over the board.

Jean-Luc Picard, Luminary (Federation Fleet)

Picard is a four-mana 2/4 built for a deck full of starships. Whenever another historic permanent you control with mana value 3 or greater enters, you draw a card. Historic covers artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas.

His Seek Out ability triggers when you draw your second card each turn. It puts a +1/+1 counter on up to one other target creature and two charge counters on up to one Spacecraft. The two halves feed each other. Casting big historic permanents draws you cards, and that extra draw charges your Spacecraft toward their stationed bonuses.

Worf, Defiant Commander (Klingon Fury)

Worf costs five mana and is a 3/4. When he enters, he makes a hasty 2/1 red Klingon Warrior creature token, letting you attack the same turn you cast him.

Each time you attack, Battlefront exiles X cards from the top of your library, where X equals the number of opponents you attacked that turn. You may play those cards through the end of your next turn. In a four-player game, attacking all three opponents gives you three additional cards to use. This encourages attacks across the table rather than concentrating on one player.

Commander Spock (Landing Party)

Spock is a 3/5 with Strange New Worlds, a mechanic that counts how many differently named lands you control. Whenever he enters or attacks, you reveal the top card of your library and then one of three things happens:

  • If it’s a spell with mana value equal to or less than your number of differently named lands, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.
  • If the revealed card is a land, you can put it onto the battlefield tapped.
  • If it remains on top of your library afterward, draw a card.

Every trigger gives you something, whether that’s a free spell, a land drop, or a card in hand. A mana base packed with basics works against him, so the more different land names you run, the more often the free cast happens.

Star Trek Commander release date and preorders

The Star Trek Commander decks and Collector’s Edition decks release on November 13, 2026. Prerelease events run November 6 to 12, but those are Sealed events and don’t include the precons. Preorders are open now, and you can find a participating shop with the Wizards store locator.

Wizards has cautioned that North American Commander decks might not arrive until after November 13. English-language decks could also be delayed in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Once each list goes live between October 26 and 29, you’ll know whether Picard’s Federation Fleet is built around Spacecraft and how deep the Borg deck goes on artifact payoffs. You’ll also see what Spock’s mana base looks like for a deck that wants as many differently named lands as possible.
