MTG Star Trek has a full selection of four Commander precon decks – two featuring the Federation, one the Klingons, and one the Borg. Here, we analyse all four based on what really matters: cold, hard cash value. Specifically, you’ll see each deck’s top reprints, and it’s total reprint value.
Because these are Universes Beyond decks, there are far more original cards than normal. Across all four, there are just ten reprinted creatures, for instance. To help you compare these decks to non-UB precons, we’ve also included the number of reprints, and calculated the average price per reprinted card.

That’s all of them. Here are the rankings:
- Landing Party
- We are the Borg
- Klingon Fury
- Federation Fleet
As we said, when just about half of the deck is original cards, ranking these precons by reprint value is only so helpful – a lot the goodness is going to be in the new cards, which presumably Wizards will essentially never get around to reprinting.
That said, I have a sneaking suspicion that this order won’t prove to be that incorrect, even once the new card’s prices can be factored in. Landing Party is doing landfall stuff and We are the Borg is doing artifact stuff – two immensely popular archetypes. The other two decks are focused on more niche strategies – a Star Trek-specific creature type and the Spacecraft subtype.
