Magic Star Trek: dates, Commander decks and prices

Star Trek arrives in Magic: The Gathering on November 13, 2026, with a main set and four preconstructed Commander decks. Eleven days before release, stores here are already taking preorders, and Tapt already shows prices for nearly a third of the set's cards. Here is what is confirmed, what is not yet, and how to prepare without being caught off guard by pre-release prices.

This article gathers the dates, the four decks and their commanders, what each box contains, the prices seen on Tapt on November 2, 2026, and what comes next on the calendar. The facts come from Wizards of the Coast's official announcement, from the Scryfall database and from the prices of stores here in Quebec.

What is coming, and when

Two products share the same release date, November 13, 2026: Star Trek (code TRK), the main set, and Star Trek Commander (code TRC), which holds the cards of the Commander decks. Scryfall, the reference database for Magic cards, lists both on that date, and Wizards confirms the same date for the decks.

Prerelease events, where you play the set before its official release, happen the week before, from November 6 to 12 according to published event calendars. That window comes from third-party sources rather than from Wizards: your local store remains the best reference for the time and place.

Star Trek is part of the Universes Beyond sets, meaning Magic sets built on an outside license. Scryfall tags its cards with that label. To find out where a specific card is legal (Commander, Modern and so on), the card's page in Tapt shows a legality tab: look at it at release rather than trusting a rumor.

The four Commander decks

Wizards has published the four decks. Each has a main commander and an alternate commander, and three colors:

• Federation Fleet (blue, red, white): Jean-Luc Picard, Luminary, with Captain Janeway, Endgame as the alternate commander.
• Landing Party (green, white, blue): Commander Spock, with Captain Kirk, Boldly Going as the alternate.
• Klingon Fury (red, white, black): Worf, Defiant Commander, with Kor, Cause of Vengeance as the alternate.
• We Are the Borg (white, blue, black): The Borg Queen, with Locutus of Borg as the alternate.

So each deck plays in three colors, and each main commander is a mythic card.

The full lists of the four decks are judged card by card: what is confirmed to date is their colors, their commander and the contents of the box described below.

What each box contains

According to Wizards' announcement, each standard deck contains 100 cards, including one traditional foil commander with full-border art ("borderless") and 99 non-foil cards. 32 cards are new to Magic. You also get ten double-sided tokens, non-foil, a reference card and a deck box.

There is also a collector's edition of each deck. The list of one hundred cards is the same, but every card and token comes in a "surge foil" finish, a special foil with a distinct surface effect. Each token is surge foil on one side and non-foil on the other, and the commander keeps its full-border art.

Wizards gives no price in this announcement: stores set their own, and they vary from shop to shop. To compare, the simplest approach is to search for the box name in Tapt's comparator once it goes on sale, and to track the price if it seems too high to you.

The main set on Tapt

The main set is already in Tapt. The Star Trek set page shows its 581 printings, which cover 311 different cards with their alternate versions, each with its collector number, its artwork and its Canadian reference prices LOW and MID. Tabs separate cards from tokens, and you can filter by rarity or by color.

On November 2, 2026, 197 of the 581 printings already have a reference price in Quebec. That is normal: stores have not all put their preorders online, and a reference price appears when stores here have the card in stock. The rest will come as items go on sale.

If you want to understand how to read a set (printing, number, finish, variants), the guide to exploring Magic sets details the page. It also lets you send cards from a set to your collection or a deck.

Pre-release prices: read with caution

On Tapt, on November 2, among the printings that have both a LOW and a MID, the most expensive is Deep Space 9 (a mythic, number 263), at $27.99 LOW and $28.00 MID. Next come the collector variants of the "shock lands" cycle of dual lands (numbers 392 to 401): Sacred Foundry at $25.00 LOW and $27.00 MID, Steam Vents at $24.38 and $26.00, then the others in the cycle, between roughly $20 and $25. Jadzia Dax, Living Legacy (mythic, number 352) is at $20.00 LOW and $22.00 MID.

These amounts are snapshots of the day. Some rare versions have a single price, set by a single store: a Dr. Beverly Crusher (number 500) is at $90 LOW with no MID, and one isolated price does not make a market. Before release, a price rests on few stores, and it moves when the set reaches shelves. The simplest way not to get lost: look at LOW and MID rather than a single price, read the page How to read LOW and MID prices, and buy nothing on the strength of one number.

How to prepare

A few simple steps, in the order they help:

1. Pick the cards you want on the set page and note their collector number: one card exists in several versions.
2. Set a price alert on the ones that tempt you. The price tracker warns you when a card falls below the threshold you set; the guide to tracking a Magic card's price explains how to choose that threshold.
3. Keep an eye on the precons. Tapt's Preconstructed decks section does not yet show the Star Trek decks on November 2: its lists come from MTGJSON, a public card database. To know what a precon contains and costs, the guide on preconstructed Commander decks shows how to read a page.
4. Plan your order. Once stores here put the boxes on sale, the comparator will show them side by side, with shipping.

One last word on power level: Wizards did not publish a bracket (the Commander power level) for these decks in the decklist announcement. It will be worth watching when the full lists come out.

After Star Trek

The next announced set is Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, scheduled for February 5, 2027 according to Scryfall and the official Magic site. It was announced at MagicCon Amsterdam in July 2026 and takes place on a fully underwater plane. Scryfall does not list any of its cards yet. Tapt builds its catalog from Scryfall: the cards of this set will appear on the sets page once Scryfall has published them.
