Captain Jean-Luc Picard does three things. Your other creatures get +1/+1. Whenever you cast a creature or Spacecraft spell, you create a 1/1 red Officer token. And once you control seven untapped Officers, you can tap them to search your library for a Spacecraft and put it onto the battlefield with seven charge counters on it, which makes six of the seven in this deck flying creatures.

So the deck is a crew, not a fleet. Twenty-nine creatures, most of them one to three mana, each bring an Officer. Eight are Officers themselves, among them Una Chin-Riley, Tactical Officer, Ensign Harry Kim and Picard, Leading by Example. Universal Automaton, Avian Changeling and Mirror Entity are changelings, which count as every creature type. Mutavault becomes an Officer when it animates, and Mirror Entity's ability gives your whole board every creature type for the turn, so every creature you control is an Officer. Rally the Ranks naming Officer, Intangible Virtue, Benalish Marshal and Lumen-Class Frigate stack on Picard's anthem, and Tocasia's Welcome, Bygone Bishop and Staff of the Storyteller keep cards coming. Only seven Spacecraft are in the deck, and they are the payoff: U.S.S. Enterprise-A arrives with three more Officers, the Stargazer brings a 4/3 flier into every attack, and Pinnacle Kill-Ship deals 10 damage to a creature as it enters. Make a Stand and Unbreakable Formation protect the crew, and Settle the Wreckage punishes whoever swings at it. There are no Game Changers; it is built for Bracket 3 tables.

One rule people get wrong: tapping seven Officers is a cost, not a tap ability of those creatures, so tokens you made this turn can pay it, and Picard counts as one of the seven himself. The Spacecraft he finds did enter this turn, though, so it can't attack until your next one. The ability has no timing restriction, so the usual play is at the end of an opponent's turn: your crew untaps and the ship attacks with them.

Every card is priced at its cheapest paper printing, non-foil, at TCGplayer's market price as of November 8, 2026, with the basic lands included. The button opens TCGplayer's Mass Entry with everything but the basics filled in, so pull 28 Plains from your own pile. Which sellers fill the cart moves the card total a few dollars either side of $53.13. 22 of the cards are priced at TCGplayer presale, because their set comes out on November 13, 2026; those prices will move once it is out.

These prices don't include shipping. They are card prices only, and TCGplayer adds shipping for each seller in your cart, so the total at checkout will be higher. Card prices also move with demand. For the best experience, check your local game store first: you can see the cards before you buy, skip the shipping, and support the place you play.
