Magic: The Gathering Star Trek set gets signed headliner cards on 13 November 2026

• The set is said to be scheduled for 13 November 2026.
• Kirk, Spock, Picard, Janeway, Seven of Nine, Geordi and Data are mentioned, with around 250 copies per character.

What happened

Game Rant says Wizards of the Coast is preparing a new card type for Magic: The Gathering’s Star Trek Universes Beyond set. In the report, these cards are described as signed headliner cards, a term the publication presents as new to the game. The article ties the cards to the broader Universes Beyond line, where Magic: The Gathering collaborates with outside franchises.

According to the same report, the Star Trek set is due on 13 November 2026. The cards are said to be textless foil headliner cards linked to well-known Star Trek characters, including Kirk, Spock, Picard, Janeway, Seven of Nine, Geordi and Data. Game Rant also says the cards would be released in limited quantities, with roughly 250 copies per signed variant.

Game Rant further reports that the signatures would come from the actors who portrayed the characters in Star Trek. As specific examples, the article names Patrick Stewart and Jeri Ryan, tied to Picard and Seven of Nine respectively. That would make the signed version different from the regular headliner cards, which the report says rely on serial numbering instead.

The publication also says the regular headliner cards are numbered from 1 to 500. In the signed version, that serialisation would be replaced by an actual autograph from the relevant Star Trek actor. The article presents this as a notable twist on the existing headliner concept, though the information provided does not confirm whether signed headliner card is the official product name used by Wizards of the Coast.

Background

Universes Beyond is Magic: The Gathering’s collaboration line with other franchises, including Star Trek. In the report, the set focuses on iconic characters from that franchise and on a limited run of special cards. The characters mentioned span classic and later Star Trek figures, with Kirk and Spock alongside Picard, Janeway, Seven of Nine, Geordi and Data.

The article frames the signed cards as a variant on the existing headliner cards. The regular version is said by Game Rant to be numbered from 1 to 500, while the signed variant instead carries a real autograph. The publication cites Patrick Stewart and Jeri Ryan as examples of actors providing signatures for Picard and Seven of Nine. That makes the cards not only rare, but also directly tied to the actors who played the characters in the franchise.

The information provided does leave room for uncertainty about the official product naming. Based on this source, it is not confirmed whether signed headliner card is the exact term used by Wizards of the Coast, or mainly Game Rant’s wording. The stated quantities and character list also come from Game Rant’s report and could still change ahead of the 13 November 2026 release.

The article also notes that Wizards of the Coast has not yet confirmed all Magic plans for 2027. The remaining Universes Beyond collaborations for that year are still unknown, though the report suggests more could be revealed at the next MagicCon. That remains speculative and is not confirmed as an official announcement in the information provided.
