10. Sacred Foundry (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $66.47
Sacred Foundry is the Boros shock land, first printed in Ravnica: City of Guilds in 2005. It has been a home for red and white decks for more than twenty years, and this version sets it on a desert planet.
9. Overgrown Tomb (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $74.86
Overgrown Tomb is the Golgari shock land from the original Ravnica block in 2005. This one is a full-art, textless Showcase Surge Foil, one of the two LCARS shock lands Wizards highlighted for the set, with a green and purple alien swamp.
8. Borg Cube (Showcase) - $79.99
The Borg first showed up in the Next Generation episode "Q Who" in 1989, and the Cube became their most feared ship. This 6/6 Spacecraft for seven mana assimilates a creature when it enters. The borderless poster art looks like a circuit board in gold and black.
7. Q, Stacking the Deck (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $85.77
Q has been testing Starfleet captains since the Next Generation premiere, "Encounter at Farpoint," in 1987. The card is just as chaotic. When Q enters, it exiles your top nonland card and lets you cast a copy by exiling a card from your hand. It is a red 4/4 for four that turns chaos into value.
6. Breeding Pool (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $89.72
Breeding Pool is the Simic shock land, first printed in Dissension in 2006. It taps for green or blue and is a staple in Modern and Commander. This is the other LCARS shock land, a full-art textless version with a glowing alien garden.
5. Dathon, His Heart Open (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $103.98
Dathon is the Tamarian captain from the Next Generation episode "Darmok" in 1991, the one where two captains learn to talk through stories. The card is a three-color 3/3 that draws a card whenever you cast an enchantment. Enchantment decks will want it.
4. Will Riker, First in the Field (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $123.31
Will Riker was the Enterprise-D first officer from the Next Generation premiere in 1987. The card is a red 4/3 that digs for two lands at the start of combat and puts them onto the battlefield. They are sacrificed at the end step, so it is a burst of mana for ramp decks.
3. Captain James T. Kirk (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $168.99
Kirk has been at the helm since Star Trek premiered on September 8, 1966. This red 2/2 loots, makes a 1/1 Officer token, or pumps your team whenever he enters or attacks, and with an empty hand you get to pick more than one. It is an aggressive card for Officer token decks.
2. Mr. Spock, Science Officer (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $227.48
Spock has been Starfleet's science officer since the series began in 1966. If you would draw a card, you draw two instead, the same effect Thought Reflection had in Shadowmoor in 2008 for seven mana. Spock does it for four, with a 2/4 body.
1. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Showcase) (Surge Foil) - $297.99
Picard took the captain's chair in the Next Generation premiere in 1987, and now he leads the chase at launch. For three mana, this white 2/3 gives your other creatures +1/+1 and makes a 1/1 Officer token whenever you cast a creature or Spacecraft. Tap seven Officers and he fetches a Spacecraft with seven charge counters.
Final Thoughts
Star Trek launched with the Next Generation crew on top. Picard passed Spock for the top spot, and Kirk, Riker, and Dathon give you three more bridge officers to build around. The shock lands fill out the bottom of the list, and prices tend to move in the first weeks after launch, so check back.
