Magic Adds Janeway with Borg Implants in Star Trek Crossover
A mythic rare Star Trek card from Stardates depicts Mirror Universe Captain Janeway commanding the ISS Voyager-A.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Board Games
Magic: The Gathering has released 'Janeway, Cracked Mirror', a mythic rare Star Trek crossover card featuring an evil Mirror Universe version of Captain Janeway with a scar and a Borg implant. The card is part of a 30-card Stardates bonus collection tied to the wider Magic: The Gathering x Star Trek crossover.
Why it matters
The release brings Star Trek characters into one of the world's most popular trading card games, extending the franchise's reach to collectors. Some Commander decks in North America are also facing shipping delays, which may affect players waiting on crossover products.
The mythic rare 'Janeway, Cracked Mirror' costs three mana (one red, one white, one black) and has 3/4 power and toughness. It is a reskin of 'Isshin, Two Heavens as One' from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and is not included in any of the four pre-constructed Commander decks.

Season Trajectory
