Vigilance Spacecraft creatures you control get +3/+3. Whenever Captain Kirk enters or attacks, search your library and/or graveyard for a basic land card or a card named Starship Enterprise, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you search your library this way, shuffle.
Predicted power
Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—
Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—
Modern 22 Eng.FUsr.—

Four mana and three colors for a 3/4 plus delayed land access is too slow for Modern; only an exceptional Enterprise target could create a narrow combo role.

Band speculativeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if If Enterprise is a powerful one-card payoff and Spacecraft enablers are unusually cheap, Kirk could become a tutor package.

Legacy 16 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy's cheap interaction and Karakas make this legendary four-drop a poor rate; no supplied competitive shell supports Spacecraft or Enterprise.

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if A powerful Enterprise target paired with fast mana could give it a specialized combo or prison application.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—
Commander 50 Eng.CUsr.—

As a Bant Spacecraft commander or inclusion, repeatable Enterprise access and a +3/+3 anthem matter, but tutoring basics to hand is not ramp.

Could be wrong if Its adoption depends on the eventual density and quality of Spacecraft creatures and on Starship Enterprise being worth tutoring.

Limited 64 Eng.B-Usr.—

In a WUG deck, a vigilant 3/4 that nets a basic is solid; even a modest Spacecraft presence makes its +3/+3 effect a strong payoff.

Best home WUG SpacecraftBand solidConfidence 38%

Could be wrong if Unknown fixing, speed, and Spacecraft density could make the three-color cost either manageable or prohibitively restrictive.

Spacecraft tribal payoff

“A slow, conditional Bant lord whose outlook depends heavily on unrevealed Spacecraft density and Starship Enterprise's rate.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
