So, Edge of Eternities has proven #MTG can do space, and given that the big UB franchises out there are Star Trek and Star Wars, it's only a matter of time before we get those crossover sets. But what amuses me is that a Star Trek set can almost be made entirely of pre-existing mechanics.

So, we've got Shield Counters for starships.

Of course, the motto of the show and the nature of the Federation is right there with the Explore mechanic. Edge of Eternities even uses planets as lands. Also Warp, lol.

And while I'd expect the Borg to be more in Esper colours, we did get the Simic mechanic of Adapt

Weird to put on Spaceships, but Romulans and Klingons do have Cloaking devices. This is a stretch, I don't see cloak coming back. I'd expect Ward/Hexproof/Shroud to model cloaking.

And finally, maybe a chance to bring back Haunt? 😎
