Star Trek has officially beamed into Commander, and the new crew is already shaking things up at kitchen tables and in power-level debates. Meanwhile, Pokémon just launched a new Mega Evolution expansion with a chase worth hunting.
Magic: The Gathering
The Star Trek set is here and people are already sorting through the wreckage. Draftsim ranked the 40 best cards from MTG’s Star Trek set, flagging the pieces likely to stick around in Commander long after the novelty wears off. If you want to see them in action, MTGGoldfish took the new captains out for a spin on Commander Clash with the Star Trek Commanders.
If you pulled the Landing Party precon and found it a little rough, you’re not alone. Draftsim’s Landing Party upgrade guide lays out 19 easy swaps to clean the deck up without breaking the bank — a solid starting point before you go deeper.
The Commander Brackets conversation keeps rolling, too. If you’re still fuzzy on how the Commander Format Panel’s power-level system actually works, this breakdown of the Commander Brackets is worth a read, and there’s a companion piece ranking the best Bracket 1 commanders for the casual crowd.
Finally, the secondary market had a busy week. Draftsim’s weekly price spikes for 10/31–11/6 covers a Multiverse Reforged precon upgrade, a Foundations mover, and a mystery spike worth checking before you buy.
Pokémon TCG
The Mega Evolution—Delta Reign expansion has officially launched, headlined by Mega Rayquaza ex. That’s an instant chase card for collectors and a likely centerpiece for deckbuilders chasing the new Mega Evolution mechanics. Get the full rundown on Mega Evolution—Delta Reign and Mega Rayquaza ex.
Live long and prosper — and go crack some packs.
