New to MTG and in for Star Trek specifically. Already got a lot of cards. Got a Blue Welcome Deck at STLV, bought five Boosters and the Prerelease box before could get my hands on this Commander deck (“Jean-Luc Picard, Luminary” is the commander if you were wondering).
Already have so many ideas for building decks. Going to participate in a local Star Trek league beginning next week, which is Sealed format. So excited! Also buying all the Lower Decks/California-class products that Ultimate Guard have made as well for storage and play.
You can look at the Commander deck here. Hard to share my entire card collection. https://manabox.app/decks/AaHb0eK4ej-0r5YjGgd42w
A few of the cards I’ve pulled.
EDIT: I didn’t photograph the “Tricorder” card.
EDIT: I have 338 total cards (including the token cards) in one week.
I’m happy you’re enjoying it but goddamn this is a major reason why I stopped caring about MTG
I’m not a magic player, but can’t you just play without mixing franchises?
Same reason you would think less of Star Trek as franchise for having half of their new shows be something like McDonald’s Presents: Star Trek where each week they go to a new McDonald’s and kill someone trying to unionize the workers.
Sure, it doesn’t in theory affect what was made before but it’s crass commercialism that directly makes the world of the other series worse just for being associated with it.
What you say is only “in theory” is my reality! I enjoy what I enjoy, and I don’t what I don’t. I don’t see a reason to hand over control of my happiness to some corporation.
Except it’s not crass commercialism. The cards are clearly made by people who love Star Trek. The gameplay is also fantastic.
One of the greatest things about Magic has always been the variety of different worlds that can exist within its systems. The only difference here is that people can play their favorite characters.
Yes you can. The problems are the quantity of sets that are ip based ( 2026 saw more non magic sets than magic sets) and other people’s decks.
Speaking as someone who is only in the game because of final fantasy
