Everyone's beloved pizza-eating superheroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a exclusive panel held at NYCC. Could this be a radical addition or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you be the judge.

Check out here at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including some useful background. All items listed below launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — a special Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before diving into all the various unique products and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few surprising details. First, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak Attack, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, where gamers can cheat powerful creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The key change here is that this new ability can apply to non-creature spells as well. The designers also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a little (It counts as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). Ninjutsu is staying, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in future sets from now on.

“If we ever were to return to Kamigawa, we might use the original ability because that plane is it was developed and it’s a hallmark to that,” a senior game designer stated. “But in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it’s probable that we'd use Sneak.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is among four cards with unique artwork designed exclusively for the set by TMNT co-creator the co-creator.

Additionally, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play game cards outside of your main deck, many players were. Yet as per the developers, it’s now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

Anyway, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:

As per the company’s existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers state they were careful to ensure the cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for over a year and we knew it would be Standard-legal and what other sets would be alongside it in Standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that they work well with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype focused on artifact cards.

“They combine to offer the pieces for a fun Standard deck,” he added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to design any Commander precons for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area instead of just one). Take a look below:

This Commander deck is set at $69.99, though that could easily go up due to demand. Wizards told that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which means an additional thirty-seven TMNT-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures shown above. (Doing some rough math, this suggests approximately 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon comes with 37 land cards.)

What will the Turtles version of the iconic Sol Ring appear? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, the company is selling a bundle. It is priced at $69.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Non-foil land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it comes in a box resembling a pizza box. Each Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the following:

• 9 Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Oversized life tracker
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering about the “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprinted older card with brand-new TMNT art. Wizards revealed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza. In total, there are six distinct pizza promos available.

This special bundle releases a few weeks after the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

This unique product is made for a four-person draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount four people to draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular basic lands (for building your deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• One drafting guide (a single-page guide to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to develop Magic products specifically for beginners. In this case, the cooperative set is a unique product of decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The general idea here that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creatures contained in the Boss deck. The Boss automatically casts one other card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
