Wizards of the Coast has confirmed Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek for a worldwide tabletop release on November 13, 2026, closing out one of the densest Magic release calendars in the game's history. The set arrives as Star Trek approaches its 60th anniversary, and Wizards has built the collection around that milestone rather than treating it as just another licensed crossover.
The headline feature is a run of signed headliner cards: seven cards depicting iconic Star Trek captains, each hand-signed by the actor who originally portrayed that character and randomly inserted into Collector Boosters. Combined with returning Spacecraft and station mechanics and two brand-new keywords, this is shaping up to be one of the more ambitious Universes Beyond sets Wizards has produced.
This guide covers what's confirmed about Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek, how its product lineup breaks down, and which EVORETRO products make sense once you're opening boosters.
According to Wizards of the Coast's official set announcement, the following details are locked in.
MagicCon Amsterdam (July 17-19, 2026) and the ST:LV Trek to Vegas event (August 5-9) both precede the set's release and are expected to bring additional card reveals.
Each of the seven headliner cards depicts a recognizable Star Trek captain in a cosmic-background portrait, individually signed by the actor who played that role. With approximately 250 signed copies of each card in circulation worldwide, these headliners are positioned as the set's true chase cards, well above a typical mythic rare pull in scarcity. Signed cards appear exclusively in Collector Boosters and always print in English regardless of the booster's language.
Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek introduces two new keywords alongside a returning mechanic from Edge of Eternities.
Play Boosters carry an MSRP of $6.99 and include 14 cards per pack, with roughly 1 in 25 packs swapping a common for a stardates card. Collector Boosters run $37.99 and are the only place signed headliner cards, surge foil LCARS cards, and classic Enterprise foils can be found. The four Commander decks are priced at $74.99 each, with Collector's Edition versions at $159.99 featuring surge foil throughout. Beginner Box, Bundle, Beam Me Up Bundle, Draft Night, and two Scene Boxes round out the lineup, priced from $34.99 to $119.99.
Unlike a standard Universes Beyond release that leans on one or two chase treatments, Star Trek stacks five distinct Booster Fun styles (signed headliners, stardates, LCARS frames, classic Enterprise, and scene cards) on top of four separate Commander decks. That gives the set unusually broad appeal across players who care about competitive Commander staples, foil collectors chasing alternate art, and collectors specifically hunting the signed cards.
Star Trek caps a run that included Marvel Super Heroes (June 26), The Hobbit (August 14), and Reality Fracture (October 2), making it the fourth major set release in a single year. Landing in mid-November alongside MagicCon Atlanta and World Championship 32, it's positioned as Magic's biggest holiday-season release of 2026.
With only around 250 copies of each signed headliner in circulation, EVORETRO's magnetic one-touch card holder gives a pull like this secure, display-ready protection the moment it comes out of a Collector Booster.
For collectors picking up single Play Boosters or Collector Boosters to keep sealed rather than opening right away, EVORETRO's PET protector for single-pack Magic boosters keeps the pack's artwork and seal intact.
With four full Commander decks releasing at once, plus 30 stardates reprints and 29 LCARS cards likely to see Commander play, EVORETRO's 1800-count magnetic card deck storage box gives a growing Commander card pool a single organized home instead of spreading across multiple smaller boxes.
To get ready for Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek's November 13 release, start with these:
The global tabletop release is November 13, 2026, with prerelease events running November 6-12 and an MTG Arena release on November 10.
There are 7 different signed cards, with approximately 250 copies of each, found only in Collector Boosters.
Assimilate and Face a Dilemma are new keywords, while Spacecraft and station return from Edge of Eternities.
No. The main set (TRK) is legal in all formats, but the Commander deck cards (TRC) and stardates cards (SDS) are legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage.
Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek gives both competitive players and dedicated collectors a lot to chase, from four distinct Commander decks to a run of genuinely rare signed headliner cards celebrating 60 years of the franchise. Whether you're building a Klingon Fury deck or hunting a signed captain card, having a protection and storage plan ready before November 13 is the easiest way to keep this milestone set in top shape.
Keep an eye on Wizards of the Coast's official channels for additional card previews as MagicCon Amsterdam and the prerelease window approach.
