Star Trek and Marvel Super Heroes Entries Overtaken by News
An editor's note on the Star Trek entry says the article was written before Star Trek was announced as a Universes Beyond set for 2026.
A note on the Marvel entry says Marvel Super Heroes has been confirmed for 2026.
TCGKing's release calendar lists the Marvel Secret Lair Countdown Kit on 2026-11-02 and the Star Trek set on 2026-11-13.
Secret Lair, Commander Decks or Full Sets?
The author does not treat every franchise as a full-set candidate:
- Genshin Impact and Dragonball would suit a Secret Lair drop, with a Superdrop for Genshin Impact.
- Demon Slayer would work at least as Commander decks.
- Starcraft could get Commander decks for each of its three factions (Zerg, Terran, Protoss) instead of a full set.
- The author says the chances of Star Wars appearing in MTG are null because Fantasy Flight exists.
Why the Universes Beyond Pitch Carries Weight
The author calls 2023's Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth and 2025's Final Fantasy two of the best-selling MTG sets of all time.
Universes Beyond began with Secret Lair products containing a handful of cards. It then grew into Commander precon decks, full draftable sets, and Standard-legal sets.
Existing examples named include Street Fighter, The Walking Dead, Final Fantasy, Fallout, Doctor Who, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Marvel's Spider-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Negan, and Ryu.
What is still unknown
- Which franchise holds the #1 spot.
- Whether any ranked franchise beyond the editor's notes will be announced as a new set.
- Release dates, prices, and product names for any such product.
TCGKing updates this article as soon as Wizards of the Coast announces these details. Follow all Magic news or get it in our newsletter.
What it means for players and collectors
- Treat the list as opinion: no ranked franchise beyond Star Trek and Marvel Super Heroes has been announced.
- Smaller formats such as Secret Lair drops and Commander decks are the author's suggested route for several picks.
