A Star Trek Prerelease Pack includes six Star Trek Play Boosters, one traditional foil rare or mythic rare card, one deck box, and one spindown die. WPN describes the format simply: open the packs, build a deck from the six Play Boosters and the extra rare or mythic rare, then play.

By simple arithmetic, November 10 is three days before November 13, and the November 6-12 Prerelease window ends the day before the tabletop release.

Why It Matters: The Beginner Box Is Canceled

Wizards said on September 21, 2026, that the Star Trek Beginner Box is canceled. Its explanation was "Due to delays in production, logistics, and shipping," and the cancellation applies "in all regions."

The same statement says, "No other Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek products are affected by this." The cancellation therefore does not touch the other products listed here. Customers who preordered the Beginner Box should "contact your local game store or retailer."

For events that planned to include the Beginner Box, Wizards names "MagicCon: Atlanta" as one example. It says it is "currently updating our plans and will share details in the future." The statement gives no replacement plan.
