Star Trek Makes Planets Common Dual Lands

Star Trek adds 10 common Planet dual lands, turning Edge of Eternities’ long-term station projects into everyday mana fixing. Each enters tapped, gains you 1 life and produces either of 2 colours. The useful new distinction is outside their text boxes: cards such as Final Frontier can search specifically for a Planet.

The chronology needs one correction. Only 5 Planet-subtype cards belong to an earlier released set, Edge of Eternities. Shore Leave Planet, the sixth card outside Star Trek’s main-set cycle, belongs to the Landing Party Commander deck and shares Star Trek’s November 13, 2026 tabletop release, confirmed in Wizards’ October 20 collecting guide. Its creature-copying ability represents a third approach to making a world worth a land slot.

The Five Earlier Planets and Shore Leave Planet

Edge of Eternities introduced its 5 mythic rare Planets on August 1, 2025. All are nonlegendary lands with the Planet subtype, enter tapped and produce 1 mana of their respective colour. Each also has station, with an additional activated ability available at 12 or more charge counters.

Evendo, Waking Haven and Uthros, Titanic Godcore turn an established battlefield into mana. After paying and tapping Evendo, Waking Haven, you get for each creature you control. Uthros, Titanic Godcore asks for and taps to produce for each artifact. Creature tokens support the former; artifact tokens support the latter.

The other rewards spend resources rather than generate mana. Adagia, Windswept Bastion costs and a tap to copy an artifact or enchantment you control, making the copy legendary. Susur Secundi, Void Altar costs , a tap, 2 life and a creature to draw cards equal to that creature’s power. Both abilities can be activated only as a sorcery.

Kavaron, Memorial World spends , a tap and a land to make a 2/2 Robot artifact creature token, then gives your creatures +1/+0 and haste for the turn. Sacrificing a land makes repeated activations expensive, but the reward immediately improves an attack rather than asking you to find another spell to spend mana on.

Shore Leave Planet drops station entirely. It enters tapped and produces , then turns it into a nonlegendary Robot artifact copy of a creature you control until end of turn. Unlike the main-set lands, this is a Commander-product card, legal at release in Commander, Legacy and Vintage rather than Standard.

Planet Is a Searchable Land Subtype

Wizards’ June 19, 2026 Comprehensive Rules list Planet among land subtypes. Planet grants no intrinsic abilities, including mana production, and is not a basic land type. A Planet’s mana ability comes from its printed text; the subtype does not make the land basic or give it station.

Edge of Eternities already gave that label 2 explicit interactions. Loading Zone doubles counters put on creatures, Spacecraft or Planets you control. Drill Too Deep can put 5 charge counters on a Spacecraft or Planet instead of destroying an artifact. On the original cycle, those cards shorten the station setup.

Star Trek makes the subtype useful in the library. Genesis Device, Warp Speed and Final Frontier each search for a basic land card or Planet card. Genesis Device and Final Frontier put it onto the battlefield tapped; Warp Speed puts it into your hand. These searches can find the earlier mythic Planets as well as the new common duals.

Planet tokens serve a different purpose. The 5 Anomaly lands can replace themselves with a tapped New Planet that produces any colour, while Stable Wormhole creates one whenever you attack. Saurian Explorer and Genesis Effect also create them. Repeated New Planet tokens provide more mana and landfall triggers, but share a name, so only the first adds a name for strange new worlds.

Wizards Built Worlds as Long-Term Lands

In the July 28, 2025 vision-design handoff, Wizards described proposed land subtypes including Asteroid, Black Hole, Moon, Planet and Star. Only Planet reached Edge of Eternities. The subtype was intended mainly as flavour, with the possibility of becoming more mechanically relevant in later space sets.

Mark Rosewater’s July 14, 2025 set-design account explains the separate role of station: tapping creatures evokes visiting a planet and building its infrastructure over time. Charge counters record that work, and the completed Planet provides a repeatable activated ability.

Matt Tabak’s July 8, 2025 mechanics article makes the crucial rules distinction: a stationed Planet remains a land, rather than becoming a creature. Station can be activated only as a sorcery, tapping another creature to add charge counters equal to its power. Even a creature that entered that turn can contribute.

A 4-power creature can supply 12 counters over 3 turns. Stationing it before combat spends an attacker; stationing an untapped creature after combat can spend a blocker. We like that bargain most on stalled battlefields, where creatures can build a repeatable land ability instead of making unprofitable attacks.

Star Trek Gives Every Colour Pair a Planet

Andoria produces or , Bajor produces or , Cardassia Prime produces or , and Earth, Sector 001 produces or . Their other abilities are identical: enter tapped and gain 1 life. These worlds express their identities through colour assignment and names, without individual mechanical rewards.

That limits how much setting-specific meaning their text carries. Andoria fixes mana for the noncreature-spells deck, but playing it does not cast a spell. Cardassia Prime supports the artifact-creature pair without being an artifact. Bajor fixes the attacking deck’s colours, but drawing it as your third land can delay a 3-mana play. Gaining 1 life does not restore that mana.

Earth, Sector 001 has the clearest connection to its pair’s plan because rewards differently named lands. It adds a third name alongside Forest and Island while still producing either main colour. Another Earth, Sector 001 improves your fixing but does not add a fourth name.

The remaining pairings complete the cycle: Vulcan supplies , Romulus , Qo'noS , Orion , Ferenginar , and Risa . None requires a particular creature type or board state. The cost is always the same lost opportunity to use that land’s mana on the turn it enters.

Edge of Eternities Split Limited From Commander

Bryan Hohns’ August 8, 2025 Draftsim draft guide rated Adagia, Windswept Bastion great, Kavaron, Memorial World good, and Susur Secundi, Void Altar decent. The first could win board stalls by copying useful permanents; the second supplied repeatable combat buffs. The guide generally preferred basics to Evendo, Waking Haven and Uthros, Titanic Godcore because their mana rewards could arrive too late.

Magic Field Guides’ September 3, 2025 17Lands-based snapshot recorded Adagia, Windswept Bastion at a 56.6% game-in-hand win rate across 3,916 instances, covering July 29 through September 1, 2025. Its saved November 7, 2026 snapshot recorded Susur Secundi, Void Altar at 52.4% across 3,275 instances. These rates describe games involving the cards, rather than the result of activating their station rewards.

Standard found a use for station before reaching 12 counters. On magic.gg, the Metagame Mentor account describes tapping Kona, Rescue Beastie with Uthros, Titanic Godcore or Kavaron, Memorial World to help put Omniscience onto the battlefield. Its Temur Omniscience list includes 4 Uthros, Titanic Godcore. The tapping outlet matters immediately.

Deck Scout’s published Challenge entry also records 1 Uthros, Titanic Godcore in the Jeskai Artifacts list that won a Standard Challenge 16 on August 27, 2026. Adagia, Windswept Bastion appears in recent Azorius Artifact Control and Five-Color Ramp lists collected by MTGMeta, giving the cycle Constructed uses beyond the Kona, Rescue Beastie interaction.

Commander preferences run differently. EDHREC ranks Evendo, Waking Haven at 869, Uthros, Titanic Godcore at 1,226, Adagia, Windswept Bastion at 1,537, Susur Secundi, Void Altar at 1,733, and Kavaron, Memorial World at 6,221. Its September 17, 2025 most-played cards article grouped the cycle at No. 1 for Edge of Eternities and identified the 2 mana-producing lands as standouts.

That popularity does not make them broad cEDH staples. EDHREC’s competitive set review judged the tapped, single-colour entry and 12-counter setup too slow for widespread impact, while identifying niche uses. The same setup that is manageable in a long multiplayer game can disqualify a land from a faster deck.

The Common Cycle Has a Clear Limited Job

MTG Arena Zone’s November 2, 2026 artifacts and lands review gives the common Planets 2.5/5 and recommends prioritising them once your colours are established. Reliable fixing beats a low-end playable that leaves better spells stranded. The guide also warns that strange new worlds decks compete for them, so an on-colour Planet is not a safe wheel.

Wizards’ October 30 prerelease guide specifically suggests Orion or Risa in decks. Each still produces , gains life and adds a name for The Traveler or Suus Mahna Practitioner. That is a concrete reason to play an off-pair dual. In landfall, Orion fixes both colours, but its landfall contribution is the same as another land’s.

Constructed competition is harsher. Steam Vents, Sacred Foundry, Godless Shrine and Breeding Pool respectively offer the same colour pairs as Andoria, Bajor, Cardassia Prime and Earth, Sector 001, with the option to enter untapped for 2 life. The Planets have no speed advantage. Their credible case is a slower deck that specifically values their subtype or an additional land name.

The searching distinction is real: Genesis Device can find Earth, Sector 001 but cannot find Breeding Pool through its basic-land-or-Planet search. Warp Speed can remove the tapped-entry drawback, though it first costs 3 mana. Those interactions justify particular deck slots; the common cycle does not replace shock lands generally.

Shore Leave Planet has a stronger independent Commander role. EDHREC’s November 6 Landing Party guide highlights copying your commander without the legend rule removing either creature. The ability works at instant speed and does not require tapping the land, but needs 5 mana and a creature worth copying. It does not trigger that creature’s enters abilities.

Prices Separate the Mythics From the Commons

Scryfall’s USD paper price histories show modest changes between August 4 and November 7, 2026. Adagia, Windswept Bastion moved from $5.71 to $5.73; Evendo, Waking Haven from $16.08 to $16.50; Kavaron, Memorial World from $0.82 to $0.95; and Susur Secundi, Void Altar from $4.05 to $5.06. Uthros, Titanic Godcore moved from $11.15 to $12.88, with both Standard use and Commander popularity supporting a play-demand explanation.

Scryfall still identifies Edge of Eternities as the latest set for all 5. Their viewport versions are treatments from that release, not evidence of a later reprint. Wizards’ July 8, 2025 collecting breakdown places galaxy-foil viewport lands exclusively in Collector Boosters, separating premium-finish supply from ordinary copies.

Shore Leave Planet’s Scryfall USD quote fell from $3.14 on November 4 to $2.57 on November 7, 2026. Among the main-set commons, TCG Strat’s regular nonfoil quotes put Andoria at $0.22 on TCGplayer on November 9 and Earth, Sector 001 at $0.22 on November 8. These are opening prices ahead of the global tabletop release.

How much of those Star Trek prices reflects play demand remains unknown. Mana Market Watch’s November 6 early singles report warned that the opening quotes could rest on only a handful of sales. The common duals also occupy 50% of Play Booster land slots, split between 40% nonfoil and 10% traditional foil, giving the cycle a much broader pack presence than the earlier mythics.

Star Trek Reaches Arena on November 10

Star Trek launches on MTG Arena on November 10, 2026, according to Wizards’ November 2 launch announcement, putting the common Planet cycle into digital drafts before the global tabletop release.
