Star Trek and Magic: The Gathering united their respective universes on Friday introducing high-value chase cards that immediately commanded steep prices on the secondary market due to gorgeous alternate arts and limited collector prints.
- Will Riker, First in the Field features unique artwork of the character cooking eggs aboard the Enterprise and commands over $300 on reseller sites.
- The set includes ten LCARS Shock Lands depicting planets explored by the Enterprise crew, boosting multi-color deck strategies.
- Seven signed headliner cards exist in fewer than 250 copies each inside Collector Boosters, featuring signatures from actors including the late Patrick Stewart.
Will Riker, First in the Field is a Red creature with an amazing land ramp ability.
The effect of Will Riker, First in the Field also doesn’t specify basic lands.
Instead, he’s cooking eggs aboard the Enterprise.
Spock might not be some badass warrior who beats people up every five minutes, but he’s a strong contender for the most popular Star Trek character of all time.
