MTG Secrets of Strixhaven is the biggest April release.

Play Booster Boxes run ~$120 street price, Commander Decks ~$45 each.
One Piece OP-15 kicks off the worldwide simultaneous release era. The Skypiea Arc is a beloved storyline, and having a Straw Hat Crew member as a Leader for the first time adds collector excitement.

May Highlights
Pokemon Chaos Rising is the month's headliner. Mega Greninja is one of the most popular Pokemon ever, and this set is expected to generate significantly more hype than Perfect Order. With 120+ cards and the Mega Evolution block continuing to impress, pre-orders are already hot.
Disney Lorcana: Wilds Unknown brings Pixar to Lorcana for the first time — Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Brave characters join the game. This could bring a massive wave of casual buyers who aren't traditional TCG customers. Booster Boxes run ~$143.76.
Star Wars Unlimited Twin Suns decks deserve attention: each contains 35 cards exclusive to that product, making them must-buys for collectors even if you don't play the multiplayer format.

| Jun 26 | Umamusume: Pretty Derby | Weiss Schwarz | Trial Decks and Booster Pack ($49.99/box). Cultural phenomenon in Japan. |
June Highlights
MTG Marvel Super Heroes will likely be the biggest TCG release of Q2 2026 — possibly the entire year. The Marvel x Magic crossover has mainstream appeal far beyond the typical Magic audience. Four Commander Decks (Avengers Assemble, Wakanda Forever, The Fantastic Four, Doom Prevails) each available in regular (~$49.99) and Surge Foil Collector (~$159.99) editions. Play Booster Display ~$209.70, Collector Booster Display ~$455.88. Expect massive demand.
One Piece OP-16: The Time of Battle covers the Paramount War — one of the most emotionally powerful arcs in One Piece. Marineford content always drives high collector demand. This is a must-buy for One Piece TCG fans.

MTG's 2026 Universes Beyond lineup is stacked: Marvel Super Heroes (June), The Hobbit (August), and Star Trek's 60th Anniversary (November). Each has crossover appeal that extends well beyond the Magic player base.
