MTG Unleashes Mega Crossovers: The Hobbit, Star Trek, and Marvel Super Heroes Sets Are Coming

If you like your Magic: The Gathering with a side of pop culture, 2026 is going to be loud. Wizards of the Coast just emptied the crossover clip at MagicCon Atlanta, and yes, the Universes Beyond stuff completely hogged the spotlight over the original sets. Here is what is actually coming and when, without the hype fog.

The schedule at a glance

• Dec 5, 2025: MTG Final Fantasy wave 2 (four scene boxes, an alternate Limit Break Commander Deck with classic pixel Cloud, plus a Chocobo bundle)
• Jan 2026: Lorwyn Eclipsed (returning to the twinned plane of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor)
• Apr 2026: Secrets of Strixhaven (back to magic school)
• Jun 2026: MTG Marvel Super Heroes (wider Marvel universe focus, not just Spidey)
• Aug 2026: MTG The Hobbit (Bilbo, Smaug, and a lot of dwarves)
• Oct 2026: Reality Fracture (mystery set, details under wraps)
• Nov 2026: MTG Star Trek (multiple eras, from TOS to TNG)

Marvel swings back in June

After MTG Spider-Man warmed up the crowd, Wizards is going broader with MTG Marvel Super Heroes in June 2026. This one zooms out to the full Marvel toy box: Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain Marvel, Heroes for Hire, and the heavy-hitting villains you are already picturing. These characters briefly popped up as a Secret Lair once upon a time before Spider-Man took center stage, so a full set was basically inevitable. Honestly, the only surprise is the name is not just 'MTG Avengers.' Expect more reveals trickling out on MTG social channels between now and release.

The Hobbit takes August

Middle-earth is back, but not a rehash of last time. MTG The Hobbit is its own thing, rewinding to Bilbo Baggins and the heist setup with Smaug. We have already done Lord of the Rings in Magic, so this aims at different corners of Tolkien: Gollum in the Misty Mountains, the wood elves of Mirkwood, Lake-town, the Battle of Five Armies, and yes, an aggressive amount of dwarves. August 2026 is the target.

Star Trek engages in November

MTG Star Trek is the bigger surprise. It is not locked to a single era; this set jumps across the franchise, including the Original Series and The Next Generation. That multi-era approach mirrors how Wizards handled Doctor Who, so do not be shocked if they carve things up in Commander-friendly ways by timeline or crew. Details land closer to November 2026. Engage jokes write themselves, but the approach makes sense for a franchise this sprawling.

Final Fantasy gets one more boost this year

The last crossover reveal at MagicCon Atlanta actually lands first: December 5, 2025. We are getting four 'scene' boxes that connect into larger pieces of art, an alternate version of the Limit Break Commander Deck that swaps in the OG pixel-art Cloud, and a Chocobo-themed bundle that is going to vanish the second preorders go live. Consider this your heads-up.

Yes, there are still original Magic sets

For the folks keeping score on classic Magic planes and new lore, Wizards did date three in-house sets. Lorwyn Eclipsed kicks off January 2026 and takes us back to the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor twin plane. Secrets of Strixhaven rings the bell again in April 2026 for another term at the university. And in October 2026 there is Reality Fracture, which is exactly as explained as its title implies right now.

The vibe check

Wizards leaned hard into crossovers in the rollout, and the algorithm certainly noticed; the official channels spent more time on the big-name brands than the original settings. Fans have been loud about Universes Beyond crowding out classic Magic, so it will be interesting to see how this particular mix lands. Personally, if we are doing crossovers, doing them with clear lanes (Marvel getting a full set, Trek spanning eras, Hobbit separating from LOTR) is the cleaner version of this experiment.

Anyway, there is your roadmap. What has you opening packs next year: dwarves, starships, or adamantium knuckles?
