Searches for magic star trek stardates prices jumped this week, and the answer so far is: 30 mythic rare reprints, about a 23.1% chance per Collector Booster slot for a non-foil one, and no sold prices yet because the set does not release until Nov 13, 2026. The most valuable card is Sheoldred, the Apocalypse reimagined as Khan, Engineered Evil, whose original printing sits around $101, per Draftsim's Oct 27 TCGplayer snapshot.
Stardates (set code SDS) are borderless reprints of famous Magic cards with Star Trek art and new names. Treat every price here as a pre-release estimate.
What are Stardates cards?
Per Wizards' "Collecting Star Trek" guide, Stardates cards are recognizable reprints with Star Trek artwork, such as Kenrith, the Returned King as "General Picard, Earth Warlord." There are 30, and all 30 are mythic rare. Wizards lists them as legal in Commander, Legacy and Vintage, and each card is also legal in other formats where the original already is.
Stardates pull rates: how rare are they?
All from Wizards' published odds:
- Play Booster: 1 in 25 packs has a non-foil Stardates card replacing a common.
- Collector Booster: 23.1% of the time a non-foil Stardates card shows up and 5% a traditional foil one.
- Foils: traditional foil Stardates cards appear only in Collector Boosters.
Wizards does not say whether all 30 cards are equally likely. If they are (our assumption, not a Wizards statement), any one named card is about 0.77% per Collector Booster for a non-foil, since 23.1% divided by 30 is 0.77%. Our pull rate breakdown has the per-box math.
Stardates card prices: the chase list
There is no Stardates sold data, so the fairest guide is what the original printing costs, as Draftsim reported on Oct 27 using TCGplayer market prices. Draftsim itself notes the value of these bonus-sheet cards is impossible to predict precisely but should broadly track the base card.
| Stardates card (Star Trek name where shown) | Original card price (Oct 27) |
|---|---|
| Khan, Engineered Evil (Sheoldred, the Apocalypse) | $101.07 |
| Bruvac the Grandiloquent | $42.46 |
| Bristly Bill, Spine Sower | $33.80 |
| Arcum Dagsson | $16.53 |
| Empress Galina | $14.57 |
| Captain Sisay | $13.62 |
| Thada Adel, Acquisitor | $10.32 |
| Sen Triplets | $9.93 |
| Prosper, Tome-Bound ("Spock, Mirror Malefactor") | $7.10 |
| Flare of Fortitude | $5.91 |
Many of the other 20 cards sit under about $5, and several, such as Tatyova, Benthic Druid ($0.20), Riku of Many Paths ($0.27) and Rishkar, Peema Renegade ($0.45), are close to bulk on that measure. The first-time reprints in the set could behave differently from heavily reprinted ones, and Draftsim flags which are which.
What Scryfall shows right now
Scryfall's Stardates page had early prices on only a handful of cards when we checked on Nov 2: Sheoldred at $199.99 non-foil and $244.99 foil, Kenrith at $31.60 non-foil, and Prosper at $15.97. Those sit well above the base-card figures above and come from very few listings on an unreleased set, so we would not treat them as market prices. Expect this to move hard after Nov 13.
Stardates eBay sold prices
None yet. The cards are not in anyone's hands until the set releases (prereleases run Nov 6 to 12, tabletop on Nov 13), so there are no sold listings to report. Re-check eBay sold listings (not asking prices) in the first week after release, and compare non-foil and foil separately.
How much is a Stardates card worth to a reseller?
Retail cost is the pack. Wizards' MSRP for a Collector Booster is $37.99 and a Play Booster is $6.99, per its Star Trek collecting guide. The chase math in plain terms:
- A Collector Booster that hits a Stardates card is 23.1% likely to give a non-foil, so most of the time you get nothing from this sheet.
- Even if you do, most Stardates cards are worth far less than the $37.99 pack. The Khan Sheoldred is the outlier.
- If a Khan Sheoldred sold at $101, eBay's published Collectible Card Games rate of 13.25% plus $0.40 per order would leave about $87 before shipping and packaging. That is a hypothetical, not a sale we have seen.
Flip, hold or pass?
- Flip: only if you already own the packs. Opening Collector Boosters hoping for Khan is a low-odds bet on one card.
- Hold: sealed boxes of a new set often price highest in week one. We would wait for sold data rather than assume Stardates cards hold early prices.
- Pass: on paying a premium for a single Stardates card before you can see sold listings. For a card you want to play, the original printing is usually cheaper.
This is analysis, not a guarantee, and prices can fall after a set's release week.
