  "account": "Magic: The Gathering's upcoming Star Trek crossover set drops five new Secret Lair Drops inspired by The Wrath of Khan and featuring Starfleet characters. The standout reprint for Commander players is Thrasios, Triton Hero, reimagined as Tendi, Exploring the Future. Tendi is a green-blue merfolk wizard with the ability to scry, reveal the top card of the library, and play it if it's a land or draw it if not. The card's unique Partner ability allows for two Commanders, opening up various deck-building options. Tendi is accompanied by Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, and the U.S.S. Cerritos in the Lower Decks Drop. The Drop also includes a Klingon-themed set with cards featuring reversible art and the powerful enchantment, War's Toll. New Worlds transforms five basic lands into Star Trek planets, and shoppers receive a foil Return of the Wildspeaker as an incentive for purchases over $199.",
