Edge of Eternities (EOE) is close to unveiling its first previews; they may arrive as soon as Friday, June 20th. The set and setting both show potential and have many implications for the known Magic Multiverse. However, since the advent of the Universes Beyond initiative, players have wondered what tie-ins might apply to a set like EOE.
This article aims to explore the potential of the space opera set and discern whether any particular intellectual properties mesh well with the potential that Magic: The Gathering could provide.
As such, I'll list a few options that seem feasible, as well as an Honorable Mention that isn't quite there for a few reasons. Before you inquire, Star Wars is a Disney property, as are Firefly, Serenity, and The Fifth Element, all by way of Fox. For that reason, we are not considering these for the potential of a tie-in. With that, let's (boldly) go!
<h2>Honorable Mention: Lost In Space (1965)</h2>
<div id="attachment_156641" style="width: 402px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/lost-in-space-poster.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156641" class="wp-image-156641" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/lost-in-space-poster.png" alt="Lost In Space (1965).

Lost In Space, a television show from 1965, is my choice of an Honorable Mention for this article, as it's memorable for the few major iconic aspects it has.
However, while it's been remade into multiple films and even a Netflix show, the source material is a bit obscure for modern audiences. As Magic is a game with an intended demographic of 13+ years of age, many of this show's nuances would be lost on its younger players and collectors.
Furthermore, Lost In Space is a CBS property now, and as such is owned in part by Paramount, but it was originally a 20th Century Fox production. With Disney owning Fox and developing another rival card game, Lost In Space may not get the attention it might still need to shine.
<h2>The Dune Series</h2>
<div id="attachment_156642" style="width: 383px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156642" class="wp-image-156642" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster.png" alt="Dune (1984). Image credit: Universal Pictures" width="373" height="559" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster.png 600w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dune-poster-200x300.png 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px" /></a>Dune (1984). Image credit: Universal Pictures</div>
Author Frank Herbert's magnum opus, the Dune novel series, was such a successful series that it received multiple films adapted from it. Legendary Pictures' Dune film series seems like the shoo-in for Magic: The Gathering to adapt into Universes Beyond (and rightly so, as Legendary is adapting Magic for the screen!).
However, it's also plausible that we could get the Dune of 1984, directed by the late, great David Lynch.
The Dune series as a whole already has a ton going for it. It's a space opera, and so it fits right into the timeline for Edge of Eternities to tie it into things. We recently got a card called <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sandworm" href="#" target="_blank">Sandworm</a> in Final Fantasy (a far cry from Shai-Hulud, yes, but a Sandworm nonetheless). Not to mention, Outlaws of Thunder Junction recently gave us a plethora of cards with the Desert subtype!
For these reasons and probably more, Dune could quite possibly be a tie-in we're on the verge of seeing.
<h2>The Outer Worlds (2019)</h2>
<div id="attachment_156643" style="width: 429px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156643" class="wp-image-156643" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art.png" alt="The Outer Worlds (2019). Image credit: Obsidian Entertainment" width="419" height="559" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art.png 600w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/the-outer-worlds-key-art-225x300.png 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px" /></a>The Outer Worlds (2019). Image credit: Obsidian Entertainment</div>
In a world simultaneously plagued by a space race and the rat race, The Outer Worlds feels a bit on the money. However, as it has been pointed out to me, it too essentially has space operatic elements.
We already know that Wizards of the Coast really likes when a property they're adapting to Universes Beyond has something upcoming when the Universes Beyond adaptation releases. Lord of the Rings had The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. Fallout's television show came out around the same time its Commander decks did. And Jurassic World: Dominion was relatively fresh in players' minds when Lost Caverns of Ixalan came out.
With a sequel coming out later this year, The Outer Worlds might be a great choice for a tie-in with Edge of Eternities.
<h2>The Star Trek Series</h2>
<div id="attachment_156644" style="width: 405px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156644" class="wp-image-156644" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster.png" alt="Star Trek (1966). Image credit: Paramount Global" width="395" height="559" srcset="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster.png 500w, https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/star-trek-poster-212x300.png 212w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px" /></a>Star Trek (1966). Image credit: Paramount Global</div>
Finally, and what I believe might be the most apt possibility for a tie-in with Edge of Eternities, we have the Star Trek series.
As Star Wars' biggest competitor for "greatest space opera," Star Trek is also an eligible space opera that players will resonate with most out of all the others. A more utopian look at the future of galactic peace than either Star Wars or Dune, Paramount Global also owns this property.
For those at home keeping score, Paramount Global is the entity that hosts shows like SpongeBob Squarepants and Avatar: The Last Airbender on its streaming service, Paramount+. If those two seem even a little bit familiar to you, it's no surprise. We previously got a Universes Beyond property for it (in SpongeBob's case) or will later this year (in ATLA's case).
So, in many ways, Star Trek is likely the most plausible option for a tie-in for Edge of Eternities out of all of these possibilities by far.
With that, I'd like to open the floor to you, dear readers. What space opera makes the most sense for Wizards of the Coast to add to their Universes Beyond portfolio? And are you excited for Edge of Eternities? Sound off below!

Could Edge of Eternities Have a Universes Beyond Tie-In?

<h6 style="text-align: right;">Image credits: Hasbro &amp; Disney</h6>
On Thursday, April 24th, Hasbro announced that it renewed its longstanding licenses with The Walt Disney Company for Disney's Marvel and Star Wars properties. The license extension spans multiple years and will allow Hasbro to continue producing toys, games, and collectibles related to these properties. How will this affect Magic: The Gathering? Read on, and we will explain how this could affect Universes Beyond.
<h2>Hasbro's Dealings With Disney</h2>
According to the press release made on April 24th, Hasbro has historically produced many kinds of toys and games for the Star Wars and Marvel brands. They have made Lightsabers and a plethora of Star Wars action figures, while on the Marvel end of things, they've produced Marvel Legends, preschooler toys based on Spidey and his Amazing Friends, and, of course, Universes Beyond. Under this new extension, Hasbro will continue to be able to produce these toys and games for years to come.

<h2>Statements From Hasbro and Disney Executives</h2>
The <a href="https://newsroom.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-extends-long-running-strategic-relationship-disney">press release</a> continues with some quotes from execs at Hasbro and Disney Consumer Products:
<blockquote>"It’s an honor to be able to deepen our relationship with Disney Consumer Products to create even more magical play experiences for consumers across the globe," said Tim Kilpin, Hasbro's President, Toys, Board Games, Licensing and Entertainment. “Star Wars and Marvel provide an extensive array of captivating content that gives us an unlimited trove of fresh ideas to create from. Our collaboration spans more than half a century, and we look forward to strengthening our relationship by bringing consumers everywhere brand-new play experiences tied to the exciting universes and characters of Star Wars and Marvel.”
"We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Hasbro to evolve our expansive portfolio of Star Wars and Marvel toys that bring these iconic adventures into daily life,” said Paul Gitter, Executive Vice President of Global Brand Commercialization at Disney Consumer Products. "From must-have collectibles to Lightsaber toys, we aim to push the boundaries of creativity to deliver innovative products and engaging play experiences that bring our fans closer to their favorite stories and characters.”</blockquote>
<h2>Hold Your Horses, Star Wars Fans!</h2>
This licensing extension looks extremely promising for Universes Beyond fans, especially with Edge of Eternities looming on the horizon. However, it is extremely unclear whether Star Wars will receive any Universes Beyond treatments. Yes, Edge of Eternities is a space opera setting, just like Star Wars. However, this extension is fresh. We also know Wizards of the Coast works approximately 2.5 years in advance, sometimes longer, on Magic sets. As such, getting a Universes Beyond license is a tricky prospect. Furthermore, with the Star Wars Unlimited card game gaining traction and popularity, Magic may not get a collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., even if this license allows Hasbro to produce Star Wars toys.
Nonetheless, Marvel's continued collaboration with Magic is full steam ahead. As such, we are excited for the upcoming Spider-Man set and all that will entail!
