Edge of Eternities was never a Star Trek test run, Magic designer says

When Wizards of the Coast announced at MagicCon: Atlanta 2025 last September that a Star TrekUniverses Beyond set would be released in 2026 for Magic: The Gathering, the easy assumption was that the game’s then-recent sci-fi set, Edge of Eternities, was something of a test run. While Aetherdrift dabbled in science-fiction elements, Edge of Eternities could easily be classified as hard sci-fi, with spaceships, alien worlds, and powerful planet lands. Did Magic: The Gathering push outside the boundaries of classic fantasy in 2025 specifically so that the game could boldly go where no man has gone before?
