A truck decorated with branded logos and characters has seemingly spoiled the identity of the unannounced Universes Beyond set. Wizards of the Coast planned to officially announce the set's identity this Friday, October 10th, during a panel at New York Comic Con. However, this early reveal may put a wrench into Wizards of the Coast's plans.
According to a thread on Reddit's r/mtg subreddit, the original poster keenly spotted the truck and posted about it at approximately 3:30 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, October 8th, two full days before Wizards of the Coast's NYCC panel.
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:500px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1o1kc2w/its_turtles/">It’s turtles</a> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/waldo_m/">u/waldo_m</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/">mtg</a></blockquote>

By now, you may be able to tell that we'd been burying the lede a bit. However, <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/new-york-comic-con-2025-hints-at-magic-x-nickelodeon-collab">our suspicions</a>, as well as the suspicions of many other Magic: The Gathering players, appear correct. The March 2026 Universes Beyond set for Standard seems to be a collaboration with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Another eagle-eyed netizen spotted the TMNT-themed truck and posted a similar image online, prompting the general Internet populace to take notice. This photo, found on social media, also corroborates the Redditor above's post:
<a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/better-shot.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-166722" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/better-shot.jpg" alt="Source: Twitter" width="421" height="559" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/better-shot.jpg 1542w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/better-shot-226x300.jpg 226w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/better-shot-771x1024.jpg 771w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/better-shot-768x1020.jpg 768w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/better-shot-1157x1536.jpg 1157w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px" /></a>
At this point, it's clear that we can say this is a major leak, but with a caveat. We don't normally cover leaks, but because Wizards allowed this truck to see the light of the Manhattan day, it's safe to say that this is a fairer game than others. With bated breath, we eagerly await seeing what kinds of cards could potentially come from this 2026 Universes Beyond collaboration.
But now, let's open the floor to you, dear readers. Did you anticipate that New York Comic Con would have a Universes Beyond crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? If you did, what kinds of mechanics do you expect to see? And, if you didn't, what were you expecting from the 2026 Nickelodeon collab? Sound off in the comments below!

New York Comic Con: Branded Truck May Have Revealed New Set

Everything Revealed for 2026 in the Preview Panel at MagicCon Atlanta

On Saturday, June 21st, Wizards of the Coast officially announced the dates and locations of their MagicCon events for 2026. What's more, they did it in a YouTube video, which may or may not have had a few Secret easter eggs hidden in it. What are the dates and locations, and what do the easter eggs mean? Let's dive into this!
<h2>MagicCon Dates and Locations</h2>
According to the official event site <a href="https://www.mtgfestivals.com/global/en-us.html">MagicFestivals.com</a>, the dates and locations for MagicCon in 2026 list the following pieces of information:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>MagicCon: Las Vegas 2026: May 1–3, 2026</li>
<li>MagicCon: Amsterdam 2026: July 17–19, 2026</li>
<li>MagicCon: Atlanta 2026: November 13–15, 2026</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
These event locations aren't anything too terribly new. However, it's worth noting that the conventions will return to these places again, especially for those in the area.
Now, we don't have any promo card information nor any confirmation one way or another. But, the YouTube video promoting these dates may hold a secret or more within it.
<h2>A Secret Lair Teaser?</h2>
As mentioned above, a YouTube video accompanied the location and date information for next year's set of MagicCon events. In that YouTube promo video, we see multiple references to the Elder Dragons of the Legends expansion.

Pausing this, you can see posters for <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Palladia-Mors" href="#" target="_blank">Palladia-Mors</a>, <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chromium" href="#" target="_blank">Chromium</a>, and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nicol Bolas" href="#" target="_blank">Nicol Bolas</a>. In an earlier still, you can see an ad for "Arcades' Arcade", a reference to the Elder Dragon <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Arcades Sabboth" href="#" target="_blank">Arcades Sabboth</a>. These poster-style ads are in various art styles befitting of a Secret Lair drop. Does this mean that players will have copies of these cards in a drop? Will it be Commander-At-Home for 2026? This is entirely plausible, but as we don't have concrete confirmation, you are best off taking this as a rumor for now.
Overall, players are probably super-excited to attend MagicCon in 2026. Are you? Will you be attending any of these events, or even Atlanta's event later this year? Sound off below!
