Mr. Spock, Science Officer

Mr. Spock, Science Officer’s first release is Star Trek (TRK), scheduled for global tabletop release on 13 November 2026. Its original standard-frame record is TRK #74, a mythic rare illustrated by Colin Boyer, with nonfoil and traditional foil versions.

Collector shortcut: #353 is Mark Spears’s borderless Mirror, Mirror scene; #411 is Grant Griffin’s Classic Enterprise showcase; #535 is the surge foil counterpart of that treatment. Gal Or illustrates the signed headliner #1702.

Ahead of release: records were checked on 4 November 2026. This is an announced release-family guide. Treat preorder listings and catalogue availability as provisional until confirmed for the edition you are buying.

Spock costs {2}{U}{U} and is a 2/4 legendary Vulcan Human Scientist with a blue colour identity. His ability replaces your individual card draws with two draws. It applies to you, not to every player at the table.

This is a replacement effect rather than a triggered ability waiting to resolve afterward. A draw-two instruction therefore becomes four cards while Spock applies. The official release notes explain that multiple such doubling effects can compound, with the drawing player ordering applicable replacement effects.

For collectors, that compact rules text makes the standard, scene and showcase presentations easy to compare without a change in gameplay. Legendary creature status is relevant to Commander construction, but it does not override current release or format legality.

The verified catalogue contains #74, #353, #411, #535 and #1702, all within Star Trek. The regular card anchors the debut, the scene and showcase versions are alternate presentations, and the surge and signed entries have their own collector numbers. This review does not identify a later-set reprint.

A scene version is still Mr. Spock, Science Officer even when its illustration portrays the Mirror, Mirror incarnation. Conversely, another Magic card with Spock in its name is not automatically another printing of this exact card. Use the full name and TRK number when comparing records.

The different collector numbers are useful for avoiding mismatched listings. In particular, #353 is the borderless scene card, whereas #535 is the surge foil Classic Enterprise version. Swapping those two digits changes which artwork and treatment you are asking for.

Standard #74: Colin Boyer’s illustration is the original main-set presentation. Start here if you want an individual Spock card in the ordinary Magic frame, rather than a piece intended to connect to other images.

Scene #353: Mark Spears’s borderless illustration belongs to the six-card Mirror, Mirror scene. Wizards identifies that scene’s goateed Spock in its collecting guide. It is a meaningful artwork choice for a scene display, not just a foil label attached to the regular art.

Classic Enterprise #411 and #535: both credit Grant Griffin. The treatment uses a retro poster-inspired frame; #411 provides nonfoil and traditional foil choices, while #535 is the surge record. That frame choice is separate from the borderless Mirror, Mirror scene.

Headliner #1702: Gal Or is the credited illustrator on the borderless, textless signed entry. Keep the art credit separate from the autograph, and do not infer the signer solely from the character’s name. A specific actor attribution needs evidence for the actual signed edition.

Standard #74, scene #353 and Classic Enterprise #411 each have nonfoil and traditional foil versions. This gives you three artwork/presentation choices without requiring a special finish. A scene card can be nonfoil; “borderless” does not mean “foil.”

#535 is surge foil only. It is the Classic Enterprise premium record, which Wizards places in Collector Boosters. It is not the surge version of Mark Spears’s #353 scene. Match the number and artist before paying for a listing described simply as a premium Spock.

#1702 is foil-only and catalogued as a signed headliner. Its broad foil classification is not a reason to call it surge, etched or textured foil. For a signed copy, photographs and edition identification matter more than a generic foil price field. The headliner’s illustration credit does not identify the autograph’s signer.

For the first main-set appearance: choose #74, then decide between nonfoil and traditional foil. This preserves Boyer’s original presentation.

For a scene collection: #353 is the relevant entry. Choose it if assembling Mirror, Mirror or if you prefer Spears’s depiction as a standalone borderless image. Confirm that the seller’s image is this scene version, rather than the Classic Enterprise showcase.

For a retro Star Trek display: start with #411. If the poster-inspired presentation appeals and you specifically want surge foil, compare #535 next. The ordinary #411 foil remains a separate finish choice.

For a playable copy: compare #74, #353 and #411 in the same condition and finish. They have the same gameplay identity, so choose artwork, legibility and the actual available offer rather than assuming a showcase is stronger in a deck.

For a signed collection: identify #1702 and ask for actual-card images and reliable autograph information. Do not treat the artist’s name, a stock digital render or a missing price as authentication.

Our display-led starting point is #353 nonfoil. It offers Spears’s specific Mirror, Mirror scene without making a premium finish part of the decision. Compare it directly with #74 nonfoil to see whether you prefer the original standalone illustration or the borderless scene treatment.

If completing a scene is not your goal, #411 is the more relevant next comparison: its retro frame gives the individual card a different visual language. Reserve #535 for a deliberate surge-foil preference, and evaluate #1702 as an autograph collectible rather than as the default deck copy.

For a deck: on 4 November 2026, the checked prerelease catalogue lists this card as not yet Commander-legal. Consult the live legality data rather than treating its legendary type as permission to play it now. Once current legality permits, the shared Build a Deck action sends the selected printing to Deck Studio; this guide does not change its eligibility checks.
