New to MTG and in for Star Trek specifically. Already got a lot of cards. Got a Blue Welcome Deck at STLV, bought five Boosters and the Prerelease box before could get my hands on this Commander deck (“Jean-Luc Picard, Luminary” is the commander if you were wondering).
Already have so many ideas for building decks. Going to participate in a local Star Trek league beginning next week, which is Sealed format. So excited! Also buying all the Lower Decks/California-class products that Ultimate Guard have made as well for storage and play.
You can look at the Commander deck here. Hard to share my entire card collection. https://manabox.app/decks/AaHb0eK4ej-0r5YjGgd42w
A few of the cards I’ve pulled.







EDIT: I didn’t photograph the “Tricorder” card.
EDIT: I have 338 total cards (including the token cards) in one week.
I’m happy you’re enjoying it but goddamn this is a major reason why I stopped caring about MTG
I’m not a magic player, but can’t you just play without mixing franchises?
Yes you can. The problems are the quantity of sets that are ip based ( 2026 saw more non magic sets than magic sets) and other people’s decks.
Speaking as someone who is only in the game because of final fantasy
Same reason you would think less of Star Trek as franchise for having half of their new shows be something like McDonald’s Presents: Star Trek where each week they go to a new McDonald’s and kill someone trying to unionize the workers.
Sure, it doesn’t in theory affect what was made before but it’s crass commercialism that directly makes the world of the other series worse just for being associated with it.
World building be damned. Here’s Spongebob, My Little Pony, Lord of the Rings and Star Trek. I also stopped caring.
Edhrec.com is a good spot for deck editing ideas
I have an idea (if it is playable) for a artificial intelligence deck. Led by The Borg Queen who employees Lore as her general. Queen thinks she can use Lore, while Lore thinks he can take advantage of them. And Lore decides to include Badgey into the mix but he ends up causing chaos. The player is as much at risk as the opponent is when Badgey is there.
Start your crafting! Prefer moxfield for that myself

Very nice! I too started (back) into MTG for Star Trek. This is my pair from a couple pre release decks I got with my son:

Ultimate Guard have a play-mat that uses the Q artwork.
Keep this one close.
Technically not gambling, as I imagine Data would state.
100% gambling. All blind pack collectible cards are.
I’ve not bought a Collector Booster yet.
Bastards of the coast are cashing in big off Patrick Stewart and Walter Koenig 's deaths.
I’m not saying they made it for that, but the timing is really boosting their profits
I knew it. Wizards killed them as marketing for the new set.
Typical Hasbro.
This is the reason I decided to get into it. I had a Welcome Deck from STLV, saw a shop nearby was doing a Learn to Play and checked it out. It cheered me up. I was overwhelmed by the Chekov card I pulled.
Say goodbye to your wallet
Haha. I know.
I dabbled in the late 90s, but ultimately it wasn’t for me. The Trek sets look great, though - good luck on your journey!
To the journey!
Sorry JC shippers. No Chakotay.
