Magic: The Gathering Star Trek Shakes Up Commander With 2 Bold New Mechanics

The upcoming Star Trek Universes Beyond set for Magic: The Gathering will introduce two new mechanics specifically for the Commander format this November. According to Polygon, the format has not seen new keyworded mechanics like Lieutenant or Eminence since 2014 and 2017, respectively.

Amazon is currently offering discounts on the Star Trek set, including a Play Booster box priced at $139.99, down from the $209.70 MSRP. Mashable also noted this price drop for the Play Booster box. Additionally, IGN reports that three of the four upcoming Commander decks—Landing Party, Klingon Fury, and We Are The Borg—have seen price reductions from $74.99 to $69.82, while the Federation Fleet deck remains at its original MSRP.
