Magic's science fiction set
Edge of Eternities is Magic's science fiction set, and it introduced enough durable design that later sets keep borrowing from it — Star Trek brings Spacecraft and Station straight back a year later.
The clever part is that none of the mechanics demand a dedicated deck. Warp cards help you cast two spells in a turn or free up mana to Station something, Landers ramp and count as artifacts, and Void just asks that something left the battlefield. They support archetypes rather than defining them.
Themes
Spacecraft
A new artifact type, and a twist on Vehicles: instead of being crewed each turn, a Spacecraft is stationed — and it won't necessarily become a creature at all. A Legendary Spacecraft with printed power and toughness can be your commander.
Station
How you power a Spacecraft up. Tap creatures at sorcery speed and add charge counters equal to their total power. It rewards a wide board and gives spare creatures something to do on turns they can't attack profitably.
Warp
Cast a card from hand for a reduced cost; it gets exiled at the next end step, but you can cast it again later from exile for its normal cost. Effectively an early down-payment on a card you'll get twice.
Void
Abilities that improve if a nonland permanent left the battlefield this turn, or if you warped a spell this turn. Deliberately easy to switch on — which is why it enhances decks rather than requiring one.
Planet lands
A new nonbasic land type. Planets can carry a station ability, producing mana and then unlocking a further ability once stationed.
Lander tokens
Artifact tokens that ramp — useful to counters-and-artifacts decks on both counts.
Limited
A full ten-pair format, each with its own signpost uncommon. Our sources documented six of the ten by name; rather than invent the remaining four, here are the ones that were actually published.
Two Spells a Turn
Tempo
Signposted by Station Monitor. Warp cards make the second spell easy.
Artifact Value
Value
A grindy artifacts deck, well served by Landers.
Void
Aggro / Sacrifice
Turns Void on deliberately, by making sure something leaves the battlefield each turn.
Landfall
Midrange
The midrange landfall deck, with Landers helping hit land drops.
Counters
Go-Tall
Puts counters on creatures — and charge counters on Spacecraft.
Ramp
Ramp
Builds mana toward the set's expensive top end.
Commander
Two three-colour precons, each shipping with a pair of legal commanders.
World Shaper
Hearthhull, the Worldseed · Szarel, Genesis Shepherd
Sacrifice lands, grow back stronger.
Counter Intelligence
Kilo, Apogee Mind · Inspirit, Flagship Vessel
Counters across creatures and Spacecraft alike.
Building one of these into something of your own? The precon buying guide covers how to judge a deck, and the Commander deck template is the shape to build toward.

Spacecraft is a new artifact type, similar to Vehicles but stationed instead of crewed — and it won't necessarily become a creature. To station one, tap creatures at sorcery speed and add charge counters equal to their total power.
Warp lets you cast a card from hand for a reduced cost. It gets exiled at the next end step, but you can cast it again later from exile for its normal mana value — so it is an early down-payment on a card you get to use twice.
Yes, if it is legendary and has printed power and toughness. The same rule covers Legendary Vehicles.
World Shaper, a sacrifice-lands-and-grow-back deck with Hearthhull, the Worldseed and Szarel, Genesis Shepherd, and Counter Intelligence, led by Kilo, Apogee Mind or Inspirit, Flagship Vessel.
