Wizards of the Coast hosted an official reveal broadcast on Oct. 20 (local time) to kick off the preview season for the Universes Beyond set 'Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek'. On the same day, a mechanics article and a buyer's guide were also published. The set is scheduled for release on Nov. 13, with prereleases beginning Nov. 6.

8 New Mechanics, Including 'Assimilate' and 'Beam Me Up'

According to the official mechanics article, the key mechanics of this set are as follows:

| Mechanic | Description | |---|---| | Beam Me Up (keyword ability) | Cast certain instant or sorcery cards from the graveyard by returning a creature you own to your hand and paying an additional cost. The card is exiled afterward. | | Face a Dilemma (rules term) | Choosing a mode on a modal spell or ability counts as 'facing a dilemma.' | | Federation (ability word) | Counts the number of creature types among non-Borg creatures you control. | | Strange New Worlds (ability word) | Counts the number of differently named lands you control. | | Spacecraft / Station | Tap creatures to put charge counters on the spacecraft equal to their power; it becomes a creature once a certain number of counters accumulate. | | Assimilate (keyword action) | Put a creature under your control as a Borg artifact creature with a +1/+1 counter on it. | | Battlefront (Commander only) | Counts the number of opponents attacked this turn. | | Seek Out (Commander only) | Triggers whenever you draw your second card each turn. |
