There are four scenes whose cards can be found in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. Each scene depicts a different iteration of Star Trek, capturing the wide range of stories this franchise has to offer.
Unimatrix Zero
Gal Or’s 6-card scene shows all sides of Star Trek: Voyager‘s “Unimatrix Zero,” from the chilling Borg that threaten the Voyager with assimilation to the dreams of Seven of Nine. Even as the Collective closes in, Janeway’s crew is prepared to fight for their freedom.
Deep Space Find
Marija Tiurina’s 9-card scene is stacked with references to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. If there’s a character from that series you love, chances are you can find them here, hiding somewhere aboard this space station.
Mirror, Mirror
Mark Spears’s 6-card scene takes us into the Mirror Universe with the crew of Star Trek: The Original Series. “Mirror, Mirror” has everything fans love about this era of Star Trek: campy melodrama, science-fiction shenanigans, and an especially charming version of Sulu.
Showdown at Sector 001
Nicky Barkla’s 4-card scene depicts the episode “The Best of Both Worlds” from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Here, Data comes face to face with the assimilated Picard, now going by Locutus. While Picard’s assimilation did not last, the scars—physical and mental—will stay with him for a lifetime.
Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Scene Boxes
Divergent Timeline Scene Box
Enterprise-Q Scene Box
There are also two Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Scene Boxes. Each Scene Box includes 6 traditional foil borderless scene cards that form a moment from Star Trek. Non-foil versions of these scene cards are available in Collector Boosters.
Divergent Timeline
JB Casacop’s scene aboard the Enterprise features Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and more, but they look a tad different here! This is the Kelvin timeline, depicted in 2009’s Star Trek and other films. You’ll also find these incarnations of the crew on the set’s Stardates cards.
Enterprise-Q
Alexander Gering’s scene shows the always-memorable, ever-meddlesome, and forever-vexing Q on the bridge of the Enterprise. While Picard, Worf, and company are certainly not amused, Q, Your Illustrious Host is sure to excite players as a five-color Faerie typal commander.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, but this deck is full of plenty of spicy surprises! Wield your aggression alongside Worf, Defiant Commander to trigger the battlefront ability word, ensuring you keep the cards flowing and your opponents’ life totals low. Kor, Cause of Vengeance offers an alternative approach, allowing you to sacrifice creatures to empower your onslaught of Klingons and Warriors.
The Borg Collective has arrived. Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated by The Borg Queen! She strengthens your artifact creatures and pulls creatures from your opponents’ graveyards, turning them into horrifying Borg creatures that you can convert into additional advantages. Grow your forces even further with Locutus of Borg. After just a few turns, you’ll have enough Borg creatures to topple the Federation’s folly.

Extra Life Employee Takeover Streams
We think a bit of friendly competition (or just friendly conversation) makes charitable giving even more exciting. The employees of Wizards of the Coast will be taking the reins of twitch.tv/magic for a week-long employee takeover. Tune in through November 5 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. PT to see what chicanery our managers let us get up to.
During these streams, you’ll learn more about why folks are so passionate about Extra Life. And if you love their mission as much as we do, we encourage you to donate directly to them! If you’re interested in learning more about these streams or donating to Extra Life, you can visit the Extra Life website, where Wizards of the Coast and several members of our community will be supporting this amazing organization.
Working with Extra Life means so much to all of us here at Wizards, both because of how fun the festivities are and because of the life-changing funds we get to raise for children’s hospitals. Keep an eye on twitch.tv/magic and our social media accounts for more information on how you can support Extra Life.
reminiscent of Mishra’s Research Desk, Tasha Yar is quite the value proposition. Attack early and potentially trade with a 2 or less toughness creature for some impulse draw. It’s a great design space and very nice to see on a hasty creature. Being legendary can even be a downside by simply casting a second copy to impulse draw after the legendary state-based action resolves.
To top it off, you even get to use the effect again once she’s in your graveyard by getting a hasty post board whipe swing in and a future card. It’s very efficient design and one that’s sure to see lots of play in aggressive red decks.
Magic: The Gathering sales exceeded $600 million in Q3, a new quarterly record, Hasbro announced in conjunction with its quarterly earnings report. Sales of the brand were up 34% to $616.1 million from $459.4 million in the same quarter last year, behind The Hobbit, which is already the fourth bestselling Magic set in history despite a leaner SKU list, and Reality Fracture, which performed better than expected, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks explained in the conference call. The Hobbit prerelease was the biggest ever for a Universes Beyond release.
Magic sales were up across new releases, backlist and Secret Lairs, with backlist sales growing faster than new release sales, Cocks said. He cited the backlist sales as evidence that the new customers being brought to the game through Universes Beyond sets were sticking around and buying older sets to fill out their play and collections.
Distribution continues to expand, with Magic now in nearly 40,000 doors via mass channels, and WPN stores up 38% to 13,000 worldwide.
Big Magic sales mean big profits; the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment reported operating profit of $367 million, up 46% (or even more than sales) over $252 million in the year ago period.
Hasbro sales overall were up 15% to $1,595 million from $1,388 million in Q3 2025. Earnings grew to $395.0 million from $233.9 million a year ago. The third quarter results built on a similarly strong showing in Q2 (see “Q2 Report”).
Magic sales will be down in Q4, management predicted, not only because of a weaker release schedule but also because early shipments of the October set, Reality Fracture, have pulled $40 million in sales expected in Q4 into Q3. Regardless, Hasbro raised sales and profit guidance for the full year. No headwinds for the U.S. consumer are expected in the holiday season.
In 2027, a change in Magic product configurations will produce sales increases over the big year in 2026, Cocks said. Each of the six “Tentpole” releases in 2026 will have a full product suite, including Commander Decks and all the collectible products associated with them, which was not the case for 2026. Adding those SKUs can raise sales for the set by 50%, experience shows, according to Cocks.
Trading cards, which include TCGs and sports cards, are now the #1 category in toys and games, Cocks said in the call. “And we see that as a generational structural shift and not just as kind of like a onetime thing,” he said.
Sure, it just creates one token in the beginning but it’s tap ability makes a token of any other token you control. Wether you are a commander token afficianado or a Simulacrum Synthesize Enthusiast in Standard and everything else in between, this card is sure to find a home. Being an artifact that costs two mana is always a great place to be for the next big broken Magic: the Gathering card 🙂

has long been a Modern staple with tons of applications. Thanks to its Sunburst ability, multi-color archetypes get access to a disruptive tool that scales over the course of the game. Of course, the more cards you can answer with this artifact, the further you’ll pull ahead on resources.
With this in mind, Explosives should be an incredible answer to go-wide decks in Standard. Obviously, this includes answering token armies generated by Sapling Nursery
out of Landfall or Simulacrum Synthesizer
out of Jeskai Artifacts. On top of that, though, decks that rely on a specific point in the curve get wrecked. Rakdos Lizards, for example, plays tons of two-drops to maximize Flamecache Gecko‘s mana production, and Explosives punishes them for overextending.
Notably, Explosives isn’t limited to just hitting creatures, which is a huge deal in the current Standard environment. Jund Sacrifice, one of the format’s best decks, leans on Obsessive Pursuit
to generate artifact sacrifice fodder and Biotech Specialist
to convert those Clues into damage, and Explosives kills both with one card. Similarly, Lifegain shells play a ton of one-drop Soul Sisters effects, including Case of the Uneaten Feast
, and Explosives cleans them all up.
These use cases make Explosives a very appealing sideboard card at minimum. Decks like Dimir Midrange and Dimir Reanimator that lack good answers to artifacts or enchantments should use this tool particularly well.
Interestingly, Explosives’ impact will likely be even higher in Pioneer, mainly because threats are more efficient. Both Izzet Prowess and Mono-Red Aggro play tons of one-drops like Monastery Swiftspear
and Soul-Scar Mage
that Explosives can sweep. Sacrifice decks are on the rise thanks to the printing of The Sackville-Bagginses
, too, so having clean answers to Witch’s Oven is a priority.
Notably, this will also be the first time Explosives is legal in Arena-only formats, and boy does it looked poised to make a splash in Historic Affinity. This card joins Urza’s Bauble as an elite zero-drop artifact that triggers Pinnacle Emissary
and reduces Kappa Cannoneer
‘s cost. You can also rebuy Explosives with Emry, Lurker of the Loch
for continuous disruption.
Affinity could also emerge as a new Standard deck thanks to this zero-drop. While you miss out on Cannoneer as a big finisher, Emissary and Ravenous Robots
can create a wide board state in a heartbeat. Weapons Manufacturing also provides plenty of extra reach, and the fact that Explosives for X=0 can destroy and trigger all of your Munitions tokens on a whim is quite powerful. You also have Krang, Master Mind
as an extremely powerful Affinity payoff to build towards.
Of course, the card also includes Pinnacle Emissary and answers Manufacturing, so it could easily be a decent anti-Affinity sideboard card.
With MTG Star Trek’s Engineered Explosives reprint introducing the card to Standard, Pioneer, and MTG Arena as a whole, we may be seeing a lot of this card soon.
