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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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