The Star Trek set reaches MTG Arena on November 10, and three preorder bundles at $49.99 USD each are already in the in-game store, according to Wizards of the Coast. The announcements give US dollar pricing only, so Canadian players should check the Arena store for the amount in Canadian dollars.
What are the Star Trek preorder bundles?
Each bundle costs $49.99 USD and stays in the MTG Arena Store until release. A sleeve unlocks at purchase, and the rest arrives on November 10.
- Pack Bundle: a Captain Kirk sleeve at purchase. On release, 45 Star Trek packs, 5 mythic packs, 5 Golden packs, the Captain James T. Kirk card and a Kirk depth art card style.
- Pass Bundle: a Captain Picard sleeve at purchase. On release, the Set Mastery Pass plus 10 bonus levels, 1 Sealed token, 20 Star Trek packs, 2 Golden packs, the Captain Jean-Luc Picard card and a Picard depth art card style.
- Play Bundle: a Captain Janeway sleeve and an Exocomp companion at purchase. On release, 4 Draft tokens, 2 Sealed tokens, 20 Play-In Points, the Captain Kathryn Janeway card and a Janeway depth art card style.
What can free players earn?
Set Mastery is open to everyone and pays out 36 set packs and 5 Mastery Orbs by Level 72.
Achievements add more. The Test of Achievement track hands out 1,000 XP at Level 4 and a Vulcan Salute sticker at Level 8, with tasks such as casting 100 Officer spells. The Starfleet Academy track gives a pack at Level 1 and another at Level 5, then a “Starfleet Captain” player title at Level 10.
Four Assume Command tasks each unlock a sleeve: The Unicomplex, Vulcan, Federation Outpost and Qo’noS. Conqueror Challenges pay packs and Mastery Orbs up to Level 5.
What does the Mastery Pass add?
The Mastery Pass uses Captain Picard as its avatar and carries 20 packs, including 4 each of the new set, Reality Fracture, Secrets of Strixhaven, Lorwyn Eclipsed and Edge of Eternities. It also holds 10 mythic rare individual card rewards, 31 Mastery Orbs, 4,000 gold and 1,200 gems.
Cosmetics include 15 common and 10 uncommon card styles, the Tribbles, Starfleet Tribbles and Tribble Colony companions, and the Starfleet Communicator Badge and Transporter Room sleeves. One Player Draft token is included, and the Mastery Emporium lets players spend orbs on extra styles and sleeves.
When can you play, and what events run?
An early access event with streamers is set for November 4, starting at 10 a.m. PT on YouTube and Twitch. Premier Draft runs from November 10 to February 2, and Sealed from November 10 to December 8.
Star Trek Quick Draft appears from November 19 to 28 and again from December 8 to 21. Arena Direct offers Collector Booster boxes from November 13 to 22.

Who it suits
Free to play players: Set Mastery alone returns 36 packs, and the achievement tracks add sleeves, a title and more packs without a purchase.
Collectors and fans: The Pack Bundle has the most packs, including 5 Golden packs, plus the Kirk card and sleeve. The Pass Bundle suits those who want Picard art and the full pass.
Competitive players: The Play Bundle’s 4 Draft tokens and 2 Sealed tokens cover early events, and the qualifier dates above are the ones to mark.
What is still unknown?
Canadian pricing, and the gem and gold prices of the store items, are not in the announcements. Details of the new achievements beyond the lists above are limited, and no official launch video was listed. Read the full schedule on the Wizards of the Coast site before buying a bundle.
