Every Star Trek Commander precon ranked: Landing Party, We Are the Borg, Klingon Fury and Federation Fleet. Greg Montique checks each commander's card text, flags the rules gotchas (including the Borg Queen blurb Wizards got wrong), lists every deck by card type, and names the cards to keep and the first upgrades to make before the November 13th release.

One, Borg Evolved gives every artifact creature you control flying, double strike, vigilance, menace, lifelink, and ward 2. This One, Borg Evolved commander deck guide covers how the Esper Borg Artificer works, why double strike fires your damage triggers twice, the early, mid, and late game plan, four ways the deck wins, and the five cards it needs, including the Thopter Foundry package and Võx. Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek releases November 13th, 2026.

Strange New Worlds and Beam Me Up are two separate MTG Star Trek mechanics, and each has rules that catch players off guard. Strange New Worlds counts the differently named lands you control. Beam Me Up lets you recast certain instants and sorceries from your graveyard by returning a creature to its owner's hand. We cover how each one works, the gotchas around Blood Moon, snow basics, tokens, and your commander, and how to build a Commander deck around each.

Everything you need for the MTG Star Trek prerelease, running November 6th through 12th at local game stores. We cover what comes in the Prerelease Pack, what your six Play Boosters will realistically give you, how to build a 40-card Sealed deck, and how beam me up, station, face a dilemma, federation, strange new worlds, and assimilate actually play in Limited. Plus what to bring and what you won't find at the event.

A full breakdown of assimilate and federation, the two MTG Star Trek mechanics built to fight each other. We cover how assimilate turns creatures into Borg artifact creatures, how federation counts creature types, why every assimilated creature drops out of the federation count, and rules questions on changelings, blink, commanders, and players leaving the game. Then we get into how to build a Borg deck and a federation deck that actually work.

Our MTG Star Trek preview covers the full mechanic lineup, including beam me up, face a dilemma, federation, assimilate, and the Commander-only battlefront and seek out. We break down the four Commander decks, the LCARS shock lands and other Booster Fun treatments, how rare the signed headliner cards are, and which product gives you the most for your money before the set releases November 13th, 2026.

Our MTG Marvel Darkhold Destiny first look covers what Wizards revealed at New York Comic Con: the April 9th, 2027 release date, a Commander player's take on Lords of Hel, Midnight Sons, Gods of Asgard, and Strange Academy, plus how The Darkhold's sin counters and life-equalizing ability work, the new Vengeance, Arcane, and Dimension mechanics, and every product you can preorder now.

Wizards of the Coast confirmed the MTG Star Trek Beginner Box cancelled in every region, two months before its November 13th release date. It's Magic's first full product cancellation this year, coming right after Reality Fracture shipping delays tied to a Panama Canal drought and a spike in diesel prices. This piece covers why the Beginner Box got cut, how a packed 2026 release calendar left no slack to absorb a shipping shock, and what it means for the rest of the Star Trek

The MTG Ambassador Program gives creators early cards, swag, and MagicCon badges for better content. This week showed its weak spot: ambassadors unboxing hundreds of dollars in free Hobbit Collector Boosters, then arguing collector product pricing isn't a big deal. This breaks down what the program does well, why that contrast reads so badly to viewers footing the bill, and what would fix it without scrapping something that genuinely helps smaller creators.

This week is the clearest example yet of Wizards' MTG spoiler pacing problem. Star Trek Welcome Decks got a full reveal on August 5, three months early, overshadowing The Hobbit's prerelease weekend and Reality Fracture's three-year story finale in October. This breaks down the release calendar, why the early reveal steals attention from sets people can play right now, and why the drift away from in-universe Magic is worth worrying about.

Spoiler season for The Hobbit is in full swing, and the card quality is forcing a real conversation about the Hobbit MTG power level. Gleaming Splendor turns opponents' extra draws into a treasure engine, and Wizard's Staff doubles triggered abilities on anything you strap it to. Neither card reads like a set-filler uncommon. We break down what these two reveals say about where this set lands compared to recent Standard releases, and what it means for Commander tables in part

The MTG Recruit mechanic is one of the new keyword actions arriving in Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit on August 14, 2026. Draw a card, discard a card, and if what you discarded was a nonland, you get a 1/1 white Human Soldier token out of it. It's tied to Lake-town's humans, and it's built to fill your board while filtering your hand. We break down how Recruit works, how it compares to Connive, and which decks are lining up to go wide with it.

Hasbro's Q2 earnings call quietly revealed the direction for Universes Beyond 2027: fantasy-adjacent IPs tied to significant dates or events those properties are hitting next year. That's a real shift from the last few years of Universes Beyond, and it opens up a wishlist I can't stop thinking about. Here are the five properties we could see getting the Magic treatment in 2027, why each one has a real 2027 moment to build around, and why two of them feel almost inevitable

The MTG Storied mechanic is one of two new keyword abilities arriving in Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit on August 14, 2026. It's a threshold mechanic: control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, and you permanently gain an "enduring story" for the rest of the game, unlocking bonus effects on cards like Thorin Oakenshield and Bifur, Melodic Rider. We break down how Storied works, how it compares to Ascend and historic, and which decks are built to turn it on

MTG The Hobbit picked up a fresh round of reveals at MagicCon Amsterdam, and this batch is all archetypes and royalty. Thranduil, Bard, and the Queen of Dale anchor two new draft mechanics, Recruit and Storied, while Gollum, Riddle Master and the Desolation of Smaug bring the tension. Two full Scene Boxes were also detailed for the first time. This builds on our May first look from MagicCon Las Vegas, linked below, and covers only what's new.

The MTG Star Trek reveal dropped on Weekly MTG, and Wizards didn't hold back. We're breaking down every mechanic (Assimilate, Face a Dilemma, Federation, the return of Spacecraft and Explore), the LCARS frame treatment hitting shock lands, the Stardates reprint cards pulling classic Magic staples into the Trek universe, and the ultra-limited autograph cards signed by William Shatner and Kate Mulgrew. Plus everything on the four Commander precons and the November 13 street dat

MTG Marvel Super Heroes keeps moving the needle, and this week two cards are doing the heavy lifting. The Namor and Hex Magic price spike has pulled a Modern mono-blue tempo deck and a Ruby Storm combo piece into the spotlight at the same time, and neither one is slowing down. This Stock Watch breaks down what each card costs right now, why the Modern metagame suddenly wants them, and where the bigger money is moving in the same set.

The MTG 2026 release schedule has three sets left: The Hobbit in August, Reality Fracture in October, and Star Trek in November. They're not equal. Reality Fracture closes out the current Magic Story arc, and past arc finales like War of the Spark show a handful of cards holding value for years while the rest of the set fades. Star Trek will likely spike and correct the way Marvel's Spider-Man did, dropping $350 a box within weeks of its full reveal. Let's break down where to

MTG Marvel Super Heroes releases June 26, 2026, and the product lineup is enormous. Beginner Box, Jumpstart Boosters, Play Boosters, Bundles, Draft Night, four Commander decks in two editions, Collector Boosters, and Scene Boxes all hit shelves the same day. We break down exactly what comes in each product, the official MSRP for every option, and which ones are actually worth your money depending on whether you are new to Magic, building a game night, or chasing The Mind Ston

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a mono-green legendary creature from MTG Marvel Super Heroes that may be one of the strongest token Commanders ever printed. She creates a Squirrel every time she enters or attacks, and her doubling ability never taps, letting you activate it as many times per turn as you can afford. This guide covers the full strategy across every stage of the game plus five must-include cards, including the genuinely busted Earthcraft infinite combo.
