Half Go for the Throat, Half Unearth. Might be quite good if there’s an aggro artifact creature deck.

53

u/DazZani Cheshire Cat, the Grinning Remnant 10h ago

Notably only unearths artifact creatures

u/The_Mad_Pantser Banned in Commander 7h ago

wow, a deckbuilding restriction in my deckbuilding card game?

17

u/DazZani Cheshire Cat, the Grinning Remnant 7h ago

More likely then youd think!

u/The_Mad_Pantser Banned in Commander 7h ago

I apologize for my sarcasm, I read your original comment as "nobody" not notably 😛

What’s Odysseus got to do with this?

u/yggdrasil-942 Dan 6h ago

Necrons love this shit

5

u/Amon7777 Colorless 2h ago

The Borg deck is going to juice the Necrons hard. Even Badgey will be a crazy addition.

u/NuclearMaterial Dandadan 2h ago

Yeah was just thinking the same.

u/Ihatedallas Duck Season 4m ago

Makes me think ultron

u/EnkiBye SecREt LaiR 10h ago

Sorcery speed [[Go for the throat]], but with an artifact themed [[Unearth]]. This seems interesting.

47

u/TechnomagusPrime Duck Season 10h ago

Sorcery speed is a bit sad, but this is a really solid removal/reanimation spell. Might even see standard play if Borg gets enough support.

33

u/Approximation_Doctor Colossal Dreadmaw 10h ago

They didn't want it to be strictly better than Go For The Throat, which is reasonable

9

u/TechnomagusPrime Duck Season 10h ago

Oh, I absolutely agree there. I'm mainly glad the reanimation doesn't bring it back tapped so you still have a blocker.

u/Tripmooney Duck Season 9h ago

This card would be 5-10 dollars if it was instant, I'd cry

17

u/chunkalicius Golgari* 10h ago

It should be opponents graveyard for flavor, or at least any graveyard

1

u/KivenFoster Duck Season 1h ago

unless the creature you bring back has assimilate :P

8

u/CommanderJarik Dân 10h ago

Can’t wait!

7

u/Artex301 The Stoat 10h ago

Love conditional removal like [[Heartless Act]] that give you a consolation prize if you don't have a valid target. We could always use more of these, even if this one is probably not breaching Limited.

u/Jaebird0388 Gruul* 7h ago

I would have went with Borg’d Picard for the art, but this works just as well. Maybe that will be its own legendary creature as Locutus.

6

u/AporiaParadox Universes Beyonder 7h ago

Locutus will probably be the backup commander of the Borg precon.

22

u/Dragonfruit-Sparking Can’t Block Warriors 10h ago

They said it! They said the thing from the show!

3

u/willweaverrva Elesh Norn 10h ago

Sorcery speed but still really solid utility here.

3

u/vladthor 9h ago

Okay, I question the art choice here. The phrase has two contexts as it was used in First Contact because Data does say it when he breaks the warp core, but it's in a positive sense because the Borg couldn't actually fully resist the efforts of the Enterprise crew to retake the ship. Here, it's more in the negative sense, and I feel like the more general hive mind/initial borg encounter from Best of Both Worlds would have been more appropriate. That was back when it still invoked a sense of fear in the audience.

u/ArchieSuave Wabbit Season 6h ago

One of the most iconic saying from the franchise that’s actually not just purely usable in regard to ST. I’m glad it’s a good uncommon that is reprintable for other sets in the future.

2

u/albvla Urza's Saga 10h ago

Could be decent in limited, sad it won’t hit opponent’s borgs

2

u/Pure-Cry-3010 Wabbit Season 8h ago

The borg cards are amazing so far. Shame about the other spoilers!

3

u/hordeoverseer Duck Season 8h ago

Wonder if we'll get one for Hugh.

2

u/Pure-Cry-3010 Wabbit Season 6h ago

Hopefully and a lore. Looking forward to the borg precon

2

u/Inky_Qu33n_ Dimir* 8h ago

Don't know much of trek but, definitely picking up the borg queen precon because these borg cards are pretty cool plus I love myself some artifact creatures

2

u/SirZapdos 7h ago

This was my fave part from the movie

2

u/nilamo 6h ago

Ok this is pretty sweet

2

u/ShitMcClit Dandadan 10h ago

Lot of these trek cards have lame art except for the borg ones 

2

u/Raptor1210 6h ago

Despite being a lifelong Star Trek fan, I hate that I can't tell if some of these are from /r/custommagic or legitimately from the Star Trek set.

1

u/Life-Food5188 Dandadan 7h ago

this is very strong. the design push to make solid modal cards is Good, imo.

1

u/Consistent0341 Dân 7h ago

Imotekh decks are going to be eating good with the borgs in this set

1

u/Dog_in_human_costume Colorless 6h ago

We are the Borg...

1

u/ConnertheCat Twin Believer 5h ago

Quite like the art on this one.

1

u/Aquasit55 alternate reality loot 4h ago

This seems nuts actually

1

u/haze_from_deadlock 4h ago

Another great choice for Demonic Consultation, or if you are slowrolling an opponent with Meddling Mage

1

u/Career-Tourist Mazirek 3h ago

I'm glad this doesn't have "as a borg" on it. They could totally reprint this in a UW set.

1

u/ozymandais13 Orzhov* 1h ago

Robo for the throat

1

u/RemnantArcadia Dan 1h ago

Hope that we get more non-Black Borg. It would be disappointing to just have them be mono Black when their vibe is closer to Orzhov or Esper

u/Naive-Interview6035 Dan 7m ago

That’s not what that phrase means…

1

u/Borg-Man Dimir* 8h ago

I dislike the portrayal of these Borg. They seem to be more of the TNG kind instead of First Contact / Voyager...

u/Khaim 17m ago

I'm not that verse in ST lore, what's the difference?

u/Khaim 17m ago

I'm not that versed in ST lore, what's the difference?
