Star Trek arrives on Arena three days before tabletop
Wizards of the Coast has confirmed that Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek will launch on MTG Arena on 10 November 2026. That puts the digital release three days ahead of the set’s tabletop date, 13 November, and gives Arena players a separate schedule of drafts, sealed events and seasonal rewards to plan around.
The announcement is more than a release-date reminder. Wizards has published the Star Trek Set Mastery and Mastery Pass reward contents, plus a calendar running into early 2027. Players who mainly draft, collect cosmetics or compete in Arena qualifiers can now check how the crossover fits into their own plans.

The free track includes 36 packs and five mastery orbs
The Star Trek Set Mastery begins with the Arena release and offers up to 36 Star Trek packs and five Mastery Orbs. Those orbs can be spent in the set’s Mastery Emporium on cosmetics, including card styles and avatars. Wizards says the Set Mastery runs through level 72, with rewards available to all players through that level.
The optional Mastery Pass adds a second reward track. Its listed rewards include a Captain Picard avatar, 20 packs across five sets, ten Star Trek mythic rare individual card rewards, a draft token, gold and gems, card styles, sleeves and three Tribble companions. The pass track extends to level 80 and beyond, according to Wizards. These are in-game rewards; the announcement does not give a cash price for the pass.
Draft and sealed events open on 10 November
Several Star Trek limited formats start on 10 November. Premier Draft, Pick-Two Draft and Traditional Draft are scheduled to continue through 2 February 2027. Star Trek Sealed is listed from 10 November to 8 December, with Traditional Sealed running through 24 November. Quick Draft arrives later, with a first window from 19 to 28 November and a second from 8 to 21 December.
Arena Direct is also on the calendar: Wizards lists a Star Trek Collector Booster box event from 13 to 22 November, followed by a Play Booster box event from 4 to 13 December. Arena Direct prizes and entry terms are governed by the event details, so check the live client announcement before entering.
The wider calendar brings back Cube and mixed formats
The schedule extends beyond the new set. Arena Powered Cube is listed from 15 December to 11 January, with a Pick-Two version scheduled for 1 to 4 January. Wizards is also bringing back Mixed-Up Draft, while weekly flashback drafts rotate through earlier sets from November onward.
For competitive players, the November Arena Championship Qualifier uses Star Trek Sealed. The Best-of-One Play-In is on 14 November, the Best-of-Three Play-In on 20 November, and Qualifier Weekend on 21–22 November. Wizards says details for Star Trek-specific achievements and their prizes will be added after previews end on 30 October.
