Thescreescore – The Star Trek fandom is currently navigating a period of profound mourning following the passing of the incomparable Sir Patrick Stewart on October 28. The legendary actor, who passed away at age 86, left an indelible mark on the science fiction genre through his definitive portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. As the franchise approaches its monumental 60th anniversary in 2026, the void left by Stewart feels particularly heavy, marking the end of an era for one of television’s most cherished icons.
However, as the community honors the memory of the man who brought Picard to life, a new chapter of the saga is preparing to launch. In a move that bridges the gap between cinematic storytelling and tabletop strategy, Magic: The Gathering has announced its massive Universes Beyond crossover. This expansion serves as both a celebration of the franchise’s six-decade history and a tribute to the enduring characters that have defined generations of viewers.
The centerpiece of this release is the highly anticipated "Klingon Fury" Commander deck, set to arrive on November 13, 2026. This deck is a love letter to the Klingon Empire, headlined by the formidable Worf. Fans of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine will find a treasure trove of lore within this 100-card collection, which features iconic figures such as Kurn, Alexander, K’Ehleyr, Martok, and Kor.

Mechanically, "Klingon Fury" is designed to mirror the relentless aggression of the Empire. The deck features two distinct commanders: the centerpiece "Worf, Defiant Commander," which utilizes a new "Battlefront" ability to reward players for multi-opponent combat, and "Kor, Cause of Vengeance," a commander centered around the strategic sacrifice of creatures to fuel devastating attacks.
For those looking to expand their collection beyond the Klingon frontlines, the November 13 launch includes three additional Commander decks: "Federation Fleet" (featuring Picard), "Landing Party" (featuring Spock), and "We Are the Borg" (featuring the Borg Queen). Each standard deck is priced at $74.99 and includes 32 unique cards, a foil commander, and double-sided tokens. For the ultimate collectors, premium editions featuring surge foil cards will also be available.
As Star Trek enters its 60th year, this crossover ensures that while the legends of the past may pass, their stories—and their battles—will continue to be fought on new frontiers. For more deep dives into the intersection of film and gaming, stay tuned to thescreescore.com.
