The first of four Magic: The Gathering Star Trek Commander deck reveals: we finally have the full deck list for We Are The Borg, the assimilation deck that's hell-bent on stealing your opponents' creatures and smacking them in the face with them. It was arguably the most intriguing Commander precon from the set when we first saw it, and based on what we see so far, we think it has some serious potential. This Esper Commander deck relies on Spacecrafts as well as other general artifacts, and has only 20 total creatures, but again, that's because you're planning to assimilate every creature you can from your opponents' decks. Here is the full deck list for the We Are The Borg Star Trek Commander deck.

Whenever The Borg Queen enters, or attacks, a target opponent exiles cards off the top of their deck until they exile a creature card. That card is then placed on the battlefield under your control with a +1/+1 counter on it, but it loses all its types and becomes a Borg creature artifact. Any other exiled cards are placed on the bottom of the opponent's deck in a random order. The backup Commander for this deck is Locutus of Borg, a four-mana Esper Commander who enters play as a 3/3 with Lifelink. He also lets you create a 1/1 colorless Borg artifact creature token whenever an artifact creature you control deals combat damage to a player. Strategy Assimilation is the name of the game in this highly thematic deck. You'll want to build a board state that gives you as much ramp as possible so you can cast your Commander as early as possible; then you can start impacting your opponents' decks and getting free creatures on the battlefield. You'll also want to build up your artifact creatures along the way and buff them as much as you can so you're swinging wide and tall. You'll be seen as the threat at the table fairly quickly, and this deck can bounce back a few times from counters and board wipes, provided you play your cards right. This is an exciting deck that may feel one-dimensional because it relies on artifact creatures, but it has enough nuance to be fun to play, and it should set up nicely against most other precons you could face.
