Console

The New Mechanics in MTG Star Trek

Five new mechanics and one returning mechanic. Tap a term, and the console will display the explanation and an example card with the original text.

Borg Queen, Perfection Manifest, Sample Card for Assimilate
Assimilate (New)

The Borg assimilate alien creatures. When you assimilate a creature, you put it onto the battlefield under your control, place a +1/+1 counter on it, and it becomes a Borg artifact creature. It loses all other creature types. This is the driving force behind the We Are the Borg deck.

Borg Queen, Perfection Manifest:Artifact creatures you control get +2/+0. When Borg Queen enters the battlefield, assimilate a target creature card from an opponent’s graveyard.
Seven of Nine, Sample Card for
Face aDilemma (New)

Star Trek thrives on decisions, not battles. That’s why this set features many cards with modes. When you choose one or more modes for a spell or ability, you face a dilemma, and other cards reward you for that very moment.

Seven of NineWheneveryou face a dilemma, draw a card. (You face a dilemma when you choose one or more modes for a spell or ability.)
Hoshi Sato, Exolinguist, Sample Card for the Federation
FederationNew

The Federation is strong because it is diverse. Federation abilities count the creature types among your non-Borg creatures. With Vulcans, Klingons, officers, and scientists on the table, each of these cards becomes more powerful.

Hoshi Sato, ExolinguistFederation: When Hoshi Sato enters, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of creature types among the non-Borg creatures you control. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom in a random order.
Open Communications, Sample Card for
Beam MeUp (New)

An instant or sorcery with “Beam me up” may be cast a second time from the graveyard. To do so, pay the listed cost and also beam one of your creatures back into your hand. Afterward, exile the card.

Open Communications: Drawa card. Beam me up {2}{U}: (You may cast this card from your graveyard for {2}{U}, if you also return a creature you control to its owner’s hand. Then exile this spell.)
Christine Chapel, Combat Medic, sample card for *Strange New Worlds*
Strange NewWorlds—New

Discover strange new worlds: Cards with “Strange New Worlds” count how many differently named lands you control. Players who build decks with many different lands are rewarded. This fits well with the Shock Lands, which are returning in the same set.

Christine Chapel, Combat MedicStrangeNew Worlds: When Christine Chapel enters the battlefield, you gain life equal to the number of differently named lands you control. Whenever you gain life, put two +1/+1 counters on Christine Chapel.
U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Galaxy-Class, Sample Card for Spacecraft and Station
Spacecraft andStation Return

Featured in Edge of Eternities. A spacecraft enters the game as an artifact. With Station, you tap another creature and place charge tokens on it equal to its power. Once a threshold is reached, the spacecraft becomes a creature. New in Star Trek: Some ships trigger an effect every time they are stationed, even after reaching the final threshold.

U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Galaxy-Class: Wheneverone or more charge counters are placed on U.S.S. Enterprise-D for the first time each turn, exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn. Station. 7+: Flying, vigilance.

In addition, there are 21 new creature types—according to mtg.wiki, the most since Mirage: Andorian, Android, Borg, Caitian, Ferengi, Gorn, Kelpien, Klingon, Lanthanite, Orion, Q, Romulan, Talosian, Tellarite, Tholian, Tosk, Tribble, Vorta, Vulcan, Xindi, and Officer.
