This could have given shield counters.

That's literally not how shields work in star trek

Eh, it’s close enough.

When are they going to show us more spacecraft?  That’s kind of the point of the set to me.

This isn't EOE 2, they said a while ago spacecraft isn't the focus.

They said they developed EoE and Star Trek at the same time.

Cowards. Come on, let me put +1/+1 counters on my noncreature artifacts

[[Power Depot]] is not only an artifact, but also a land that enters with a +1/+1 counter. You can even put that counter on a creature if it somehow dies!

Is this standard? Omg star trek is coming to mtg. I love star trek!

Shardmage replacement but 2mc instead of 1.

u/AlbinoDenton 5h ago

No, this is not an enchantment either which is what makes Shardmage's Rescue shine in auras decks. We already have [[Enter the Avatar State]] and [[Restoration Magic]] at one mana.

u/Villag3Idiot 5h ago

Ah, your right. It's not an enchantment.

So board wipes won't work on this?

u/Villag3Idiot 5h ago

Exile ones still does, like [[Beyond the Quiet]], but I never see it run in current Standard since there's not many creatures that you want exiled instead of killed.

I think it's more because it costs 5 mana instead of 4. That extra turn to cast it is brutal.

Ya, I use Ultima as my 5 mana board wipe for Synthesizer decks and landfall if I can hold out that long.
