Skull-Bearing General Picard Gets a Sinister Look as Star Trek Crossover Is Officially Unveiled

A darker Picard returns

The card’s artwork presents Picard with exposed arms, bulging muscles and an assortment of skulls. He holds one skull in his hand, emphasizing the warlord identity. The Confederation timeline is separate from Star Trek’s Mirror Universe. The new design gives this already dark version of Picard a more imposing, almost barbarian look.

Card joins Stardates collection

“General Picard, Earth Warlord” is part of the Stardates collection, which gives existing Magic cards Star Trek artwork and alternate names. The card reimagines “Kenrith, the Returned King,” a 5/5 legendary creature with abilities that can boost other creatures, draw cards and return creatures from the graveyard.

The wider crossover launches November 13, 2026. It includes Play Boosters, Collector Boosters and four Commander decks: Federation Fleet, Landing Party, Klingon Fury and We Are the Borg.

Possible delays for some products

Retailers, including We Geek Together, have also warned customers about possible order delays. Play Boosters and Prerelease Packs remain on schedule for now, so those products are not necessarily affected.
