Magic Star Trek cards: prices and value outlook

What are the key cards in Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek (TRK), how much do they cost on preorder, and what can we expect for their value? As of October 15, 2026, Scryfall listed 91 unique cards from the main set, plus 40 from the Commander decks and one Stardates card. The most expensive card on sale is Sheoldred, the Apocalypse as "Khan, Engineered Evil", at US$249.99 in foil; among main-set cards, Dr. Beverly Crusher leads at US$52.97. The set hits stores on November 13, 2026.

What has been revealed from Star Trek?

Star Trek is the Universes Beyond set Wizards of the Coast releases on November 13, 2026, with MTG Arena on November 10 and prerelease from November 6 to 12. The main set (TRK) is legal in every format, Standard included; the Commander cards (TRC) and Stardates (SDS) are legal only in Commander, Legacy and Vintage. Dates, products and mechanics are in our next set guide.

What Scryfall listed on October 15, 2026:

TRK (main set) — 91 cards: 4 mythics, 14 rares (10 of them shock lands), 23 uncommons and 50 commons;
TRC (Commander) — 40 cards, including 6 mythics and 6 rares;
SDS (Stardates) — 1 of 30 cards.

Full preview season has not started yet. According to NerdSnack, the other four signed headliners should appear between late October and early November — an estimate, not an official date. This list covers what exists today and will be updated with the rest of the set.

How we read the prices

The price next to each card is the TCGplayer market price aggregated by Scryfall, non-foil English version, on October 15, 2026. When Scryfall has no price yet, we use the asking price (a listing, not a sale) NerdSnack collected on TCGplayer on October 13, and we say so. During preorders there are few listings per card — sometimes just one — so these numbers still say little about real value. Each card name links to its page here on Collector Union.

What are the Star Trek mythics?

There are four in the main set, all characters or creatures from the show:

Dr. Beverly Crusher ({2}{W}, mythic, US$52.97) — 2/2 Human Doctor for three mana. If gaining life causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, it triggers an additional time; and whenever you gain life, she gets a +1/+1 counter. It is the most expensive non-foil card in the main set.
Captain James T. Kirk ({2}{R}, mythic, US$46.98 asking) — 2/2 Officer that, when it enters or attacks, chooses a mode: discard and draw, create a 1/1 Officer token, or give your creatures +1/+0. With an empty hand, you choose as many as you like.
Captain Kathryn Janeway ({3}{G}, mythic, US$46.98 asking) — 2/3 Officer that lets you play an additional land each turn; she and every creature that enters on your side explore.
Crystalline Entity ({8}, mythic, US$46.98 asking) — 7/7 flying artifact creature that, if cast, destroys all nonartifact creatures when it enters.

What are the Star Trek rares?

Of the 14 revealed rares, four are new cards and ten are the shock lands, reprinted with a Star Trek frame:

U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Galaxy-Class ({3}, rare, US$31.32) — Legendary 4/5 Spacecraft. Whenever it gets charge counters for the first time each turn, it exiles the top card of your library and you may play it that turn. At 7 counters it becomes a creature with flying and vigilance. The foil extended-art version had one sale at US$99.99.
The City on the Edge of Forever ({3}{W}{B}, rare, US$23.97) — Saga: chapter I phases out all artifacts and creatures, held by a 0/1 token; chapter II draws you two cards and each player loses 2 life; chapter III sacrifices a token for 5 life.
Salt Vampire ({1}{B}, rare, US$22.00) — 2/2 lifelink Vampire for two mana. When it enters, look at an opponent's hand and you may exile a nonland card; that opponent draws a card instead.
General Chang, Cold Warrior ({B}, rare, US$23.98 asking) — one-mana 1/2 Klingon: {1} and sacrificing a creature put a +1/+1 counter on each Klingon you control.
The 10 shock lands — Blood Crypt, Breeding Pool, Godless Shrine, Hallowed Fountain, Overgrown Tomb, Sacred Foundry, Steam Vents, Stomping Ground, Temple Garden and Watery Grave. The first TCGplayer listings ask up to US$49.99 per card; the LCARS-frame Watery Grave is at that price on Scryfall.

Which uncommons stand out?

Every priced uncommon was at US$2.99 on October 15 — the default preorder price. The ones that come up most:

Seven of Nine ({2}{U}{B}) — draws a card every time you "face a dilemma", that is, choose modes for a spell or ability.
Highly Illogical ({1}{U}) — counters a spell with mana value 2 or less; kicked for {1}{U}, it counters any spell. It is also a Commander Party promo.
Brad Boimler, Eager Ensign ({1}{W}) — 2/2 lifelink; when he becomes tapped, each counter put on your permanents comes with one extra.
In the Pale Moonlight ({3}{B}{B}) — saga that makes each opponent sacrifice a creature, investigates, then creates two 2/2 Romulans.
Resistance Is Futile ({1}{B}) — destroys a nonartifact creature or returns an artifact creature with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard.
Khaaaaaaaaaaaannn! ({X}{R}) — instant that deals twice X damage to a creature and exiles it if it would die.

What about the Commander deck cards?

From the four decks, Scryfall already shows six mythics: Captain Kirk, Boldly Going (Bant, gives Spacecraft +3/+3 and fetches a basic land or "Starship Enterprise"), Picard, Steadfast Captain, Spock, Logical Choice (3/5 vigilance that taps to draw a card), Borg Queen, Perfection Manifest (assimilates a creature from an opponent's graveyard), Kirk, Enterprising Captain and Benjamin Sisko, Besieged (plays lands and casts creatures from the top of the library). None had a price on October 15: they come in the decks, and prices only show up once the decks are opened.

Above them all are the 7 headliners signed by the actors — according to NerdSnack, Kirk (William Shatner), Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and Picard (Patrick Stewart) have been shown. There are about 250 copies of each, only in Collector Boosters and always in English. They have no listing or sale yet.

What does the data say about value?

Three comparisons put preorder prices in perspective:

Shock lands: outside Star Trek, the cheapest printing of each cost between US$6.87 (Temple Garden, Guilds of Ravnica) and US$10.03 (Sacred Foundry, Edge of Eternities promo) on October 15. The US$49.99 ask is five to seven times that.
Sheoldred: the original Dominaria United version was at US$101.15 (non-foil) and US$106.85 (foil). The US$249.99 foil Khan costs 2.3 times the original foil — a premium for the art and for the Stardates foil, which only comes in Collector Boosters.
Other Universes Beyond sets: according to Harvey McGuinness of MTGStocks (January 5, 2026), the Spider-Man and Avatar Collector Booster Boxes reached nearly US$1,000 on preorder and fell below US$300 and US$400; Final Fantasy went from about US$1,500 to US$1,000. Play Booster Boxes for the first two stayed between US$100 and US$120, below launch highs near US$140.

Star Trek sealed product started below suggested retail: on October 7, the Play Booster box (30 packs) was US$170.61 on Amazon, against a suggested US$209.70 — a 19% discount, according to Dynasage.

What it means for buyers, sellers and collectors

Playing the shock lands? The card is the same as other printings, which cost US$6.87 to US$10.03. Only pay the Star Trek premium if you want the art — NerdSnack itself advises against buying the regular ones at current prices.
Want the set's mythics? Kirk, Janeway and Crystalline Entity have no recorded sale yet; the "price" is a listing. Checking again after November 13 costs little.
Opening Collector Boosters? Value is concentrated in a few cards: headliners, Stardates foils (Sheoldred/Khan) and surge foil versions of the LCARS and classic Enterprise cards, which only come in that booster.
Looking for the cards in Brazil? There will be no Portuguese version. See who is already listing on Collector Union, such as Dr. Beverly Crusher or the U.S.S. Enterprise-D.

Our take

This section is opinion, based on the facts above.

The recent Universes Beyond pattern is an expensive preorder followed by a settling once boxes are opened, and nothing in Star Trek's numbers so far points the other way: sealed product already sells below suggested retail and most of the expensive cards have a single listing. The likely exceptions are cards with a fixed or hard-to-open quantity — the ~250-copy headliners and Stardates foils of strong reprints like Sheoldred. Shock lands in a new frame usually converge toward the price of other printings, and the new main-set cards are largely Commander pieces with little sign of competitive play so far. Players tend to pay less by waiting out the first weeks after release; collectors should look at the rare versions, not the regular ones.
