Magic: The Gathering Star Trek set launches November 13
The crossover includes a Captain Jonathan Archer card that creates a Porthos token, plus four Commander decks and scene cards.
Magic: The Gathering's Star Trek crossover set launches on Friday, November 13, marking the franchise's 60th anniversary, according to screenrant.com. The set will be sold through boosters and themed products, with Wizards of the Coast publishing.
The headline card for many players is Captain Jonathan Archer, a rare green 3/3 Legendary Creature that costs three mana, including one green. When it enters the battlefield, it creates a legendary green 1/1 Dog creature token named Porthos, which has its own collectible token card.
Archer's second ability lets players pay one green mana and tap Archer to give a creature +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of different creature types among their non-Borg creatures. The card is included in the main Star Trek expansion (TRK) through boosters.
Commander decks and shipping delays
The crossover also includes four themed Commander decks: Federation Fleet, Landing Party, Klingon Fury, and We Are the Borg. Scene cards with mosaic-style themed sets such as Unimatrix Zero are part of the release as well.
Wizards of the Coast has warned that some products, including Commander decks and select bundles, are facing shipping delays and may arrive after launch.
Scott Bakula played Captain Jonathan Archer aboard the Enterprise NX-01 in Star Trek: Enterprise, which concluded more than two decades before this set's release.
