Magic: The Gathering’s Borg-Themed Commander Deck Embraces Assimilation Tactics

The We Are The Borg Commander deck from the Star Trek Magic: The Gathering set focuses on assimilating opponents' creatures using artifact and spacecraft cards, with a strategy centered on controlling the battlefield through collective domination. The deck is built in the Esper color identity and features key cards like the Borg Queen and Locutus of Borg. It represents one of the most thematically rich preconstructed Commander decks from the new Star Trek set.

The We Are The Borg Commander deck, part of the Star Trek-themed Magic: The Gathering set, leverages the Esper color identity—white, blue, and black—to execute a strategy centered on assimilating opponents’ creatures via artifact and spacecraft cards. Key cards like The Borg Queen and Locutus of Borg enable battlefield control by exiling creature cards from opponents’ decks and returning them under the player’s control, stripped of original types and enhanced with +1/+1 counters. The deck’s design emphasizes collective domination, using cards such as Collective Override and Assimilation Assessor to amplify synergy among artifact creatures.
