Short answer: The best MTG Star Trek cards revealed so far are Dr. Beverly Crusher, which makes your lifegain triggers happen twice, Mr. Spock, Science Officer, which doubles every card you draw, and Crystalline Entity, a colorless 7/7 that wipes out every non-artifact creature when you cast it. All seven signed headliner cards are now revealed too, from Kirk signed by William Shatner to Geordi La Forge signed by LeVar Burton. Previews run until the full card gallery goes up on October 30, and the set releases November 13.

What are the best MTG Star Trek cards revealed so far?

Here are the 10 we’d watch most closely, ranked by how much they’ll change a deck. Click any card to see its current price on TCGplayer.

1. Dr. Beverly Crusher

What it does: Any time gaining life triggers an ability on one of your permanents, that ability triggers an extra time. She also gets a +1/+1 counter whenever you gain life.

Why it matters: She doubles every lifegain payoff in your deck, from Ajani’s Pridemate to Archangel of Thune, and grows while she does it. That makes her an easy include in any white lifegain Commander deck, and it’s why she’s the most expensive newly revealed mythic in preorders.

Preorder price: Market price $48.17, cheapest listing $58.93 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

2. Mr. Spock, Science Officer

What it does: If you would draw a card, you draw two cards instead.

Why it matters: That one line turns every draw into two, including your draw step. Blue draw-heavy Commander decks will want him, and the 2/4 body survives most early attacks. Just watch your library size.

Preorder price: Market price $25.50, cheapest listing $30 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

3. Crystalline Entity

What it does: When you cast it, it destroys all nonartifact creatures. It’s an artifact creature itself, so it survives its own wipe.

Why it matters: Because it’s colorless, it fits in any deck. Artifact decks can keep their own creatures while everyone else loses theirs, and you’re left with a 7/7 flier.

Preorder price: Market price $33.92, cheapest listing $45.93 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

4. Dr. Joseph M’Benga

What it does: If you would put counters on a creature you control, you put twice that many instead. Your other creatures with counters on them have hexproof.

Why it matters: Counter doubling plus protection on one card. +1/+1 counter decks get bigger and harder to answer at the same time.

Preorder price: Market price $16.49 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

5. Captain Jean-Luc Picard

What it does: Your other creatures get +1/+1. Whenever you cast a creature or Spacecraft spell, you create a 1/1 Officer token. Tap seven Officers to put a Spacecraft from your library onto the battlefield with seven charge counters.

Why it matters: An anthem, a token engine and a tutor in one three-mana creature. He’s built to lead a go-wide Federation deck.

Preorder price: Market price $17.60 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

6. Q, Stacking the Deck

What it does: When Q enters, you exile cards from the top of your library until you hit a nonland card. On your turns, you can exile a card from your hand to make a copy of that exiled card and cast it.

Why it matters: If Q hits a good spell, you can keep casting copies of it by exiling a card from your hand each time, on top of paying for the copy. It’s random, very Q, and great fun in Commander.

Preorder price: Market price $20 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

7. Quark, Humble Proprietor

What it does: At the beginning of every upkeep, yours and your opponents’, you create a Treasure token. But you can’t sacrifice Treasure tokens.

Why it matters: Quark hoards Treasure like a Ferengi should. You can’t spend it while he’s around, so he’s best in decks that count artifacts or Treasures. If he leaves the battlefield, the whole pile is suddenly yours to spend.

Preorder price: Market price $13.20, cheapest listing $40 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

8. Deep Space 9

What it does: When it enters and at the beginning of each of your upkeeps, you exile the top four cards of your library and put every permanent card among them onto the battlefield. With Station at 9 or more, your creatures get +3/+3.

Why it matters: Free permanents every turn. Nine mana is a lot, but in a ramp deck it takes over the game fast.

Preorder price: Market price $59, with only 5 listings (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

9. Seven of Nine, Unassimilated

What it does: At the start of your first main phase, you draw a card, then discard one unless you control five or more differently named lands. For seven mana she becomes a 7/9 if you control seven or more differently named lands.

Why it matters: A cheap card-draw engine for the set’s Strange New Worlds theme, which rewards playing lots of different lands.

Preorder price: Market price $13.20 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

10. Borg Cube

What it does: It costs less for each artifact creature you control. When it enters or attacks, it assimilates a creature card it exiled earlier, returning it under your control as a Borg artifact creature. If it can’t, it exiles a creature instead. With Station at 12 or more, your artifact creatures have flying.

Why it matters: The Borg deck’s centerpiece: it takes your opponents’ creatures and turns them into yours.

Preorder price: Market price $12.10 (TCGplayer, Oct 24). Check today’s price on TCGplayer

What was revealed this week?

Three more cards worth knowing about showed up after our list above was put together:

• Scotty, Miracle Worker (blue mythic, 3 mana): during your main phase, every instant and sorcery in your graveyard has Beam Me Up, so you can recast them by returning another creature to your hand. A spellslinger Commander deck’s dream. Only one preorder listing so far, at $59.95.
• Georgiou, Terran Emperor (black mythic, 6 mana, 4/6): you don’t lose the game for having 0 or less life. At your end step you lose 3 life and draw a card, and if your life total is 0 or less, you create ten 1/1 Officer tokens. If she leaves the battlefield while you’re at 0, you lose. One listing so far, at $49.95.
• Primary Unimatrix Adjunct (white rare, 4 mana): your artifact creatures have double strike. That includes everything you assimilate, which makes it a key card for the Borg. One listing, at $14.95.

We’ll add more as they’re revealed, until the full gallery goes up on October 30.

Who signed the MTG Star Trek headliner cards?

All seven signed headliners have now been revealed. Each is a textless card with a cosmic background and a signature where the rules text would be. There are about 250 copies of each, and they only come in Collector Boosters.

Yes, Picard’s number is 1701D, after the Enterprise-D. Spock is signed by Ethan Peck, who plays him in Strange New Worlds. None of the signed cards have preorder listings yet. For what the rest of the set’s chase cards are selling for, see our MTG Star Trek chase cards guide.

What’s left to reveal before release?

Preview season started with the Star Trek debut stream on October 20 and runs for about two weeks. Wizards says the complete card image gallery will be available on October 30. After that:

• November 6-12: prerelease events at local game stores (our prerelease guide)
• November 10: MTG Arena release
• November 13: tabletop release. In North America, the Commander decks are delayed past this date (full delay list).

The set’s mechanics are Beam Me Up, Face a Dilemma, Assimilate, Federation and Strange New Worlds, plus the return of Spacecraft and Station from Edge of Eternities. Our prerelease guide explains each one.

Should you preorder Star Trek singles now?

For most cards, no. Preorder markets for brand-new sets are thin, and prices usually drop once boxes are opened. Most of the cards above have only four to six listings right now. If you want one for a Commander deck, waiting until a week or two after November 13 is usually cheaper. Quark, for example, has a market price of $13.20 but its cheapest listing is $40, which shows how few copies are for sale.

The exception is if you want a specific card on day one for a prerelease or a Commander night. Then buy from a seller with a release-date shipping promise. If you’re opening packs instead, check our Star Trek pull rates and whether the Collector Booster is worth it.
