Syndicate Liquidators

Description

Released in 2026 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Star Trek expansion, Syndicate Liquidators is a green Uncommon creature card designated as card number 218. This card brings a distinct flavor from the Star Trek universe into the trading card game, representing the Orion Syndicate—a notorious alliance of smugglers, pirates, and general malfeasants. The card is illustrated by artist Carlos C Diaz, whose work helps define the visual identity of this unique crossover set. As a five-mana creature with a mana value of five, Syndicate Liquidators enters the battlefield as a 4/4 Orion Pirate. Its design leverages the green color identity to provide robust board presence and synergy with land-based strategies. The card possesses Trample, allowing excess combat damage to reach the opponent when blocked by creatures with less power. This makes it a resilient threat that can pressure defenses effectively. The card’s most defining feature is its Landfall ability. Whenever a land you control enters the battlefield, you may put two +1/+1 counters on target creature you control. This mechanic rewards players who build decks with abundant land drops, turning Syndicate Liquidators into a versatile tool for board development. The synergy between the Landfall trigger and the card’s high mana cost encourages strategic planning, as players must balance resource acceleration with immediate threats. Collectors of the Star Trek set value Syndicate Liquidators for its thematic relevance and gameplay utility. The flavor text, attributed to Constable Odo, reinforces the card’s connection to the chaotic nature of the Orion Syndicate. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the creative integration of Star Trek lore into the Magic: The Gathering framework, making it a notable entry in the TRK set code.
