Bell & Barter | South Africa
Four Commander decks. Collector's Editions in full Surge Foil. Draft Night, Bundles and Scene Boxes across sixty years of Star Trek. If you were waiting for an excuse to put Picard, Spock, Worf or the Borg Queen in the command zone, this is the transmission.
Choose your command
The four Star Trek Commander decks are mechanically different, not just differently dressed boxes. The quickest way to choose is by the thing you want to be doing when turn six arrives.
Picard builds a crew and charges starships. Spock turns exploration into a landfall engine. Worf has clearly decided diplomacy has had enough screen time. The Borg would prefer you stop calling those creatures yours.
Picard wants a capable crew and a charged fleet. If you like several parts of a board working together before you give the order to engage, report to the bridge.
Set course with Federation Fleet
Spock turns new lands into new opportunities. Play your land, trigger the engine, keep exploring. A landfall deck built around strange new worlds is, frankly, only logical.
Beam down with Landing Party
Worf rewards you for attacking more than one opponent. If your Commander diplomacy usually ends in combat anyway, Klingon Fury simply gets to the point sooner.
Answer the challenge
Build the Collective, deploy Borg tokens and assimilate enemy forces into something more useful. Your opponents may discover that ownership was temporary.
Join the CollectiveStandard or Collector's Edition
Both versions give you a complete 100-card Commander deck. The decision is mostly about what happens after game night: shuffle it without ceremony, or pause for half a second every time the light catches the deck.
The ready-to-play version. Same deck theme and strategy, with a traditional foil borderless face commander and the rest built for normal play.
The same four commands, but the full deck arrives in Surge Foil. Resistance to shiny cardboard remains optional.

Playing Commander, drafting with friends, opening packs and collecting connected artwork are different reasons to buy into the set. These are the Star Trek pre orders currently in our catalogue.

Wizards has set the global tabletop release for 13 November 2026. A South African preorder still has to travel through allocation, distribution and local delivery before it reaches your door. That is why we keep release information visible on the product itself instead of pretending every date in the chain is the same date.
Wizards' official release date for Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek.
Where we have a specific local dispatch estimate, it appears with the preorder. If timing changes materially, the product information is updated.
If an order contains an in-stock item and a future release, the future item can affect when the order is ready to move. If you need the in-stock item immediately, a separate order is the cleaner option.

Deck comparisons, Commander basics, product types and South African preorder notes. Read the bit you need, skip the briefing you already know.
A Magic release date is simple until you add approximately 9,000 kilometres, international distribution, customs, local couriers and a group of people waiting for Commander decks. Preordering Magic: The Gathering in South Africa is not particularly complicated, but there are a few differences between a global release date, a local stock arrival and the day […]
