One, Seven of Nine’s Long-Lost Borg Protégé, Officially Brings Back Star Trek to Magic: The Gathering

One returns in card form

The upcoming Magic: The Gathering crossover brings One back to the franchise after 28 years. The character is featured on a card called “One, Borg Evolved,” part of the We Are the Borg Commander deck.

The card is a Legendary Artifact Creature. Its abilities grant a range of advantages to other artifact creatures controlled by the player, including flying, lifelink and ward.

A bond forged aboard Voyager

In Voyager’s fifth-season episode “Drone,” Seven’s Borg nanoprobes combined with the Doctor’s 29th-century mobile emitter during a transporter accident, creating One. Seven eventually took responsibility for him, and their connection grew into a mother-and-son-like relationship. As Seven guided One toward understanding individuality and humanity, she continued developing those qualities herself. One later gave his life defending Voyager from the Borg Collective; his final words to Seven were, “You will adapt.”

A wider Star Trek crossover

The Magic: The Gathering release marks Star Trek’s 60th anniversary with character cards and mosaic-style Scene Cards. The scenes include Voyager’s “Unimatrix Zero,” Deep Space Nine’s “Deep Space Find” and The Next Generation’s “Showdown at Sector 001.” Four 100-card Commander decks explore different parts of the franchise: Federation Fleet, Landing Party, Klingon Fury and We Are the Borg. The Borg-focused deck features One, the Borg Queen, Locutus and Seven of Nine.

Launch plans and delays

Wizards of the Coast has reported that some Commander decks in North America could arrive after launch. Scene Boxes and several other products also face regional delays, while Play Boosters and Prerelease Packs are expected to remain on schedule. The crossover is set to launch worldwide on Friday, November 13, 2026.
