MTG Arena Star Trek Direct Draft Runs Nov 13–22: Collector Booster Box for 7 Wins
The Star Trek Arena Direct is reportedly set for November 13–22 and costs 8,000 gems. Players who reach seven wins before three losses win a Collector Booster Box.
A Star Trek Arena Direct draft event is reportedly coming to MTG Arena, running from November 13 to November 22. Entry costs 8,000 gems, and players who reach seven wins before three losses win a Magic: The Gathering Star Trek Collector Booster Box. The details are reported, not yet confirmed by Wizards of the Coast.
The event may close early if all available stock is won.
Star Trek Arena Direct Schedule and Entry Cost
Arena Direct events typically start at 1 pm PT (4 pm ET, 9 pm GMT, 10 pm CET). Sign-ups end at 8 am PT (11 am ET, 4 pm GMT, 5 pm CET) on the event dates.
After sign-ups close, players get a three-hour window to finish their draft and all their games.
The entry fee rises to 8,000 gems, up from 6,000 gems for the Reality Fracture event.
Star Trek Direct Draft Format and Deck Rules
The event uses a single-pick draft, run the same way as Premier Draft, with 45 cards picked in total.
Special and dual lands must be taken during the draft, while basic lands are added at deck building.
The deck rules reported are:
- Decks must have a minimum of 40 cards.
- Matches are best-of-one under Standard rules, with 20 starting life and no sideboards.
- Decks can be changed between matches, but are locked once queued for matchmaking until the game ends.
Cards drafted during the event, including rares and mythics, go to the player's inventory, up to four copies of each card.
Star Trek Direct Prizes and Possible Cash Substitution
Seven wins before three losses earns the Collector Booster Box.
Sign-ups may close early if participants outnumber the physical prizes left. If the prizes run out but a player still reaches the required win total, a cash prize may be given instead. Wizards is said to spell this out in the official rules closer to the event.
The lower tiers are a rumor. If the event matches the Marvel Super Heroes Direct, rewards would be:
- 0–2 wins: nothing
- 3 wins: 3,600 gems and 8 MTG Arena packs
- 4 wins: 7,200 gems and 16 packs
- 5 wins: 10,000 gems and 24 packs
- 6 wins: 14,400 gems and 32 packs
- 7 wins: a Star Trek Collector Booster Box
Where It Fits in the Star Trek Calendar
The Star Trek set lands on November 13, alongside the Star Trek Commander decks.
What it means for players
- Note the sign-up cutoff of 8 am PT, since a three-hour clock starts afterward.
- Budget 8,000 gems per entry, up from 6,000 gems for the Reality Fracture event.
- Remember that special and dual lands must be picked during the draft, and that matches are best-of-one with no sideboards.
