I'm gonna collect all the #StarTrek #MTG cards, aiming for one of each card (any art) and put the coolest printing in my binder.
This Star Trek set is great. Not only are there a bunch of powerful cards that I'm gonna enjoy adding to my decks, but lots of people hate the set so the cards are relatively inexpensive! What I don't get in boosters should be cheap to grab later.
I'll be getting 2 booster boxes, all 4 commander decks, & both scene boxes from my LGS this week. The store owner is gonna give me a great price b/c almost nobody wants any of it. WotC/his distributor forced him to get more than he wanted (lest he get kicked off the list and get nothing at all for the next set).
I got the Warp Core Foil Bundle from the Secret Lair Drop this morning, which contains the foil versions of all six Star Trek SLD sets. I was only in the queue for 2 minutes. (After sitting in the waiting room for an hour.)
Good thing we've been setting money aside for this all year. 🤣
Keep hating on the set folks, drive those prices down! Don't look at the Trek decks that are already making Top 16. 😈
It's clear to me that at least one person who worked on the #StarTrek #MTG set is truly a Trek fan.
USS Stargazer, Here and There
This is a spacecraft that, once stationed (once it becomes a creature), has an ability called Picard Maneuver. Whenever it attacks, you create an illusion copy of the ship attacking too.
In the show, the Picard Maneuver is when Picard briefly jumped to warp and then dropped out of warp, to make his ship (the Stargazer) appear in two places at once, so his enemy fired on the wrong ship.
This is literally a thing from the show, as a Magic card.
All the color combos for the planets make total sense. Green Blue for Earth. Red Black for Qo'noS. Blue White for Vulcan. Red White for Bajor. Black White for Cardassia Prime. They chose exactly the right planet for every single color combo.
The whole set is clearly a love letter to the franchise. And I appreciate it.
I can almost forgive Gavin Verhey for saying it's fine to use Iona to lock players out of the game, because begging ... er "negotiating" your way back into the game is fun.
