MagicCon Las Vegas is the biggest Magic event of the year, and what better way to celebrate that then to show off a bunch of new stuff coming up later this year. Sorry for those of you who want to relish Secrets of Strixhaven a little bit longer, but the sets aren't stopping any time soon.

Here's everything we saw at the Friday Preview Panel from Marvel Super Heroes, The Hobbit, and Reality Fracture.

Marvel Super Heroes (June 2026)

Marvel Super Heroes is the next set in line, and has a significantly larger scope than anything we've seen from MTG's Marvel crossovers yet.

The Hobbit (August 2026)

The Hobbit Announcement

The Hobbit marks our return to Middle-Earth after the wildly successful Lord of the Rings set.

Adventure's back, baby! We've also got confirmation of some dwarves and dwarf payoffs.

Trolls, too. Not the internet kind, either, more like the eat your friends kind. Tom, Bert, and William give us a legendary Golgari troll creature.

It's not quite The One Ring, but My Precious is also not not The One Ring. It's showing off a “Dragon Horde” frame as well on the alternate art.

Love a good divvy card. Riddles in the Dark is giving some great Fact or Fiction vibes.

Wood Elves makes a return in Standard. Makes total sense for the context of the set.

Bilbo's back (obviously), and will appear across multiple rarities. Bilbo, Luckwearer is the uncommon version.

Speaking of which, here's the mythic Bilbo! Big lol at “Thief in the Night” here.

Magnificent indeed! Smaug makes his debut on a real Magic card (not a token) as Smaug the Magnificent. And he's appropriately Treasure-focused. Smaug will show up across multiple rarities as well. Check out that gold Headliner version, too!

No way The Arkenstone wasn't going to get a big flashy mythic in this set. It's another half-adventure, half-artifact, and comes with a “Book Cover” alternate treatment.

Reality Fracture (October 2026)

Reality Fracture is the final in-Universe set of the year. It's pretty grandiose in scope, featuring twists on classic characters and cards from Magic's history.

So what's it gonna be? Which of these sets are skips for you so far, and which ones are you actively excited about. How about Star Trek to cap off the year?
