Explore all four MTG Star Trek Commander decks, confirmed contents, release dates, Collector’s Editions, and shipping delays before choosing your precon.

Picking a Star Trek Commander deck sounds easy until you have to choose between your favorite crew and the Borg. One is a chance to command the Enterprise. The other is a chance to become everybody else’s problem.

The four MTG Star Trek Commander decks are Federation Fleet, Landing Party, Klingon Fury, and We Are the Borg. The tabletop release is scheduled for November 13, 2026, but North American buyers should read the shipping warning below before planning a release-night game.

This guide covers confirmed product details checked on the morning of October 20, 2026. Full precon lists and face-commander rules text were not verified in the sources checked for this edition. The numbered entries are a tour of the lineup, not a power ranking.

The Enterprise artwork above illustrates the crossover; it does not establish that this main-set card is included in a Commander deck.

Wizards’ October 16 product-delay announcement says North American Commander decks may arrive after the November 13 tabletop release. A release date and your store’s delivery date are two different things.

In EMEA, French and German Commander decks may arrive after Prerelease. Collector’s Edition decks also face delays there, with additional quantities expected after tabletop release. Ask your retailer about your specific edition and language rather than treating a preorder confirmation as a shipping guarantee.

Colors: blue, red, and white — Jeskai. Federation Fleet is the place to start if The Next Generation and Voyager are your Star Trek comfort food. Designer Gavin Verhey described that era focus in his interview with Space.com.

That makes it an easy thematic shortlist pick. It does not yet make it the best Spacecraft deck, the best artifact deck, or the strongest precon. A ship on the box cannot answer those questions for us.

What I would check in the full list: how much of the deck’s engine works without its commander. A precon is much more pleasant to learn when removing its captain does not switch off every useful interaction. Look for cards that help you develop mana or find more cards while also supporting the deck’s central plan.

Who should shortlist it: fans of those later crews, especially players who want the flavor to matter as much as the win condition.

Colors: green, white, and blue — Bant. Landing Party represents the Original Series side of the lineup. Verhey’s interview identifies that color combination with the show’s aesthetics and characters.

For someone whose first question is “Which one feels most like classic Trek?”, this is the first box I would point toward. For someone asking “Which one ramps fastest?”, we still need the list. Having green in the deck is not a substitute for counting its actual mana sources.

What I would check in the full list: the opening turns. Can the deck cast useful spells before it reaches its expensive attractions? Do the lands let it access all three colors without repeatedly losing tempo? A hand full of beloved characters is less exciting when none of them can leave your hand.

Who should shortlist it: Original Series fans and players choosing a deck around its cast. Wait for the actual curve and rules text before calling it beginner-friendly.

Colors: red, white, and black — Mardu. This is the Klingon faction deck. That is a strong enough hook on its own; it does not need an invented combat engine attached to it.

The tempting move is to read “Fury,” see Mardu, and immediately promise an aggressive strategy. I would rather see how the deck actually earns its damage. Does it reward attacking, sacrificing resources, or something less obvious? Those are questions for the cards, not the packaging.

What I would check in the full list: its ability to recover. If the eventual strategy asks you to commit creatures to the battlefield, look for ways to refill your hand and rebuild after a sweeper. The most impressive board in the pod can become the emptiest one very quickly.

Who should shortlist it: Klingon fans. Players buying specifically for combat should wait until the commander and supporting cards confirm that plan.

Colors: white, blue, and black — Esper. The Borg get their own deck, and that is likely enough information for some readers to stop scrolling. Fair enough. Sometimes you know exactly which side of the table you want to be on.

For everyone else, keep the faction fantasy separate from the deck’s confirmed mechanics. We have not verified a complete list here, so this guide will not promise a theft package, an artifact combo, or particular assimilation cards inside the box.

What I would check in the full list: how much bookkeeping the strategy creates. If revealed cards involve controlling opponents’ permanents, counters, or changing characteristics, consider whether that sounds fun for your group. A mechanic can be flavorful and still ask more of a new player than they want from their first evening of Commander.

Who should shortlist it: Borg fans and players happy to inspect the rules carefully before committing. Do not buy it expecting a specific combo based on faction alone.

The official Wizards Play Network product listing describes ready-to-play, 100-card decks with 33 new-to-Magic cards apiece and 10 double-sided tokens.

There is an easy counting trap here. The collecting guide lists the face commander separately from the other 99 cards, which include 32 new cards. That means 33 new cards total, not 32.

Standard editions have a traditional foil borderless face commander and 99 nonfoil cards. Collector’s Editions use surge foil treatments throughout their 100-card decks. The listed US MSRP, checked October 20, is $74.99 for a standard deck and $159.99 for a Collector’s Edition. Those are suggested retail prices, not live store quotes.

My default buying advice is the standard edition if you mainly want to play. Pay the Collector’s Edition premium because you want the finish, not because shiny cards promise a stronger deck. Check the retailer’s final price and delivery estimate before deciding.

Start with why you are buying. If you want a particular crew or faction, the four themes already give you a useful shortlist. If you want the strongest deck for your money, you need more information.

When the lists are available, I would compare three things:

A functioning opening hand. Check lands, color access, and early plays together. Counting expensive threats tells you very little about whether you can cast them.

Enough cards to keep playing. Identify repeatable draw, selection, or recursion, then check the conditions attached. An engine that needs three other pieces is different from one that works immediately.

A plan after disruption. Ask what happens when the commander is removed twice or the board is cleared. A good upgrade path should address that weakness before adding another spectacular finisher.

Those are the standards I would use for a later comparison. They are not claims that any of these unreleased lists has passed or failed them.

There is no justified gameplay winner in this morning’s guide. We have confirmed themes and product details, but have not verified the complete lists. Choose by fandom now if that is your priority; wait for card-by-card analysis if strength is the deciding factor.

Wizards schedules the debut for October 20 in its official preview calendar. The gallery updates on weekdays with the previous day’s previews, and the complete gallery is scheduled for October 30. A missing card in the gallery today does not necessarily mean it has not been shown elsewhere.

No. These are complete, ready-to-play decks. Buy one because you want its deck, then decide whether you want changes after seeing how it plays. Opening boosters is not a required upgrade step.

The Commander set uses code TRC. Its new cards are intended for Commander, Legacy, and Vintage, not Standard. Reprints retain legality in formats where they are already permitted. Do not confuse the Commander product with the separate main set, TRK.

Only after your store confirms it expects your deck in time. The North American delay notice specifically makes the global release date an unreliable promise for Commander deliveries.

The useful decision today is which theme deserves a closer look. Federation Fleet and Landing Party split the Starfleet appeal by era; Klingon Fury and We Are the Borg offer faction-focused alternatives. There is no need to pretend one is secretly the strongest before we have checked its list.

My recommendation: shortlist your favorite, favor the standard edition for ordinary play, and leave room to change your mind when the commander text and full contents are available. A good precon should make you want another game after the novelty of the box has worn off.
