Every Star Trek Commander Deck in MTG: Picard, Spock, Worf, and the Borg Queen

The Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek set (releasing November 13, 2026) comes with four preconstructed Commander decks, each led by an iconic character. Here's a breakdown of every deck, its strategy, and how to upgrade it — so you can pick your captain before prerelease weekend.

Federation Fleet — Jean-Luc Picard (Jeskai)

Colors: White-Blue-Red (Jeskai)

The Federation Fleet deck leans on the new Spacecraft & Station mechanic — artifact starships that charge up with counters and crew into powerful threats. Picard rewards a patient, value-oriented gameplan built around the Federation's diverse crew.

Upgrade priorities: artifact ramp (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet), counter-support like Cyberdrive Awakener effects, and protection so your flagship survives a board wipe.

Landing Party — Spock (Bant)

Colors: Green-White-Blue (Bant)

Spock's deck plays into the Federation ability word, which rewards fielding a diverse team of non-Borg creature types. It's a "one of everything" Starfleet build — the more varied your away team, the bigger the payoff.

Upgrade priorities: creature-type diversity, go-wide anthems, and card draw to keep the landing party stocked. Bant gives you the best tools for a resilient, grindy board.

Klingon — Worf (Mardu)

Colors: White-Black-Red (Mardu)

Worf leads the aggressive Klingon deck. Mardu is Magic's classic aggro-sacrifice wedge, so expect combat-focused, honor-before-death gameplay that pressures the table early.

Upgrade priorities: efficient removal, aggressive equipment, and a sacrifice sub-theme to squeeze value out of every warrior that falls in battle.

We Are The Borg — Borg Queen (Esper)

Colors: White-Blue-Black (Esper)

The Borg Queen's deck is the villain of the set, built around the new Assimilate mechanic — stealing your opponents' creatures and adding them to the collective. Resistance is famously futile.

Upgrade priorities: more theft and control effects (Assimilate payoffs), board wipes that don't hit your stolen creatures, and card advantage to keep the collective growing.

Which Deck Should You Buy?

• - Love value and artifacts? Federation Fleet (Picard).
• - Love wide, creature-type synergy boards? Landing Party (Spock).
• - Love aggression and combat? Klingon (Worf).
• - Love control and stealing the show? We Are The Borg (Borg Queen).
