Magic: The Gathering‘s hotly anticipated crossover with Star Trek is launching on November 13, and it’s looking likely to be huge. Both in terms of popularity, and the complexity and detail of its kerbillion cards and their unique interactions. Introducing brand new mechanics like Beam Me Up, Face a Dilemma and Assimilate, it features characters and art from pretty much every incarnation of Star Trek from the 1960s original all the way up to Strange New Worlds, including extraordinarily rare cards signed by the actors depicted, and most importantly, a card entirely dedicated to Data’s cat, Spot. We’ve got a bunch of brand new details, and some first looks at a lot of new card art, below.
Designed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, this new Universes Beyond set from Wizards of the Coast appears to be going all-out with its scale and complexity, as well as attempting to make absolutely every Trek fan happy in some way. While Lower Decks appears to have been rather underserved with a couple of non-cartoon arts, there’s an incredible spread of versions of the shows and movies included here, including multiple depictions of the same characters played by different actors. And while you’ll have to forgive my relative ignorance when it comes to MtG, a game I’m only just starting to learn, I shall do my best to guide you through a bunch of the interesting new twists being introduced to the wider game. Oh, and Tribbles.
