Picard takes charge of new Star Trek team as Next Generation crew officially replaced in crossover deck
Picard leads a wider roster
The Federation Fleet deck names “Jean-Luc Picard, Luminary” as its commander. Its 100 cards feature Starfleet personnel, spacecraft and abilities centered on drawing multiple cards during a turn.
Riker, Data and Worf remain in the lineup, but the roster also reaches beyond the Enterprise-D. The deck brings together characters from several Star Trek series who rarely served alongside Picard on screen.
Voyager and DS9 join in
Voyager’s Seven of Nine, Tuvok and Tom Paris are among the new faces. Deep Space Nine is represented by Julian Bashir, Ezri Dax, Rom and Leeta, and Vic Fontaine.
The combination creates a cross-generational Starfleet team for the tabletop release. Federation Fleet is one of four Commander decks in the crossover, alongside Landing Party, Klingon Fury and We Are the Borg.
Release faces shipping delays
The Magic: The Gathering and Star Trek crossover is still set to launch Friday, November 13, 2026. Fans should contact local retailers for updated availability.
