Star Trek Commander is out: the best cards & the most valuable pulls

💬 Our take

• Reconnaissance Partition — A flexible artifact creature that enters with two counters, letting you fetch a basic land or draw a card on each of two turns, so it ramps and refuels in one body.
• Starfleet Communicator — Casting it copies it, so one spell gives two cheap-to-equip Equipment, and attacking with multiple Communicator-equipped creatures draws cards and puts lands onto the battlefield.
• Sam Kirk, Xenoanthropologist — In a multiplayer Commander game, opponents cast plenty of creature spells, and each one hands you a Clue, which steadily turns into extra cards.
• Commander Spock — Each time he enters or attacks, he can cast a cheap enough top card for free, ramp you with a land, or draw you a card, all in three colors.
• Ensign Harry Kim, Operations — A cheap two-drop that grows whenever a bigger creature enters, then lets you spend two +1/+1 counters from among your creatures for a card.
• Spot, Felis catus — Spot and your other nontoken legendary permanents each make a Food, which suits Commander's legendary-heavy decks, and the Food can gain life or destroy an artifact.
• Ferocious Colonist — A two-mana double striker with melee that gets bigger for every opponent you attack, which makes it a strong, aggressive threat in multiplayer Commander.
• Qo'noS Quartermaster — A two-mana menace creature that adds a mana of any color when it attacks, and the mana lasts all turn, so it ramps you into bigger plays.
