Everyone's favorite pizza-loving superheroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular trading card game's publisher, the game's creators, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a special event held at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Take a look here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including some useful context. All items mentioned here releases on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27th.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many special decks and bundles available, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a couple of surprising features. First, there's a new mechanic called Sneak, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, where gamers can play powerful creatures into the game field whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The key change here is that Sneak can apply to non-creature spells as well. Wizards also used this chance to refine the mechanic a little (It counts as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but chances are players will encounter the new mechanic in future sets from now on.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, we might use the original ability because that's where it originated and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced game designer stated. “But on other planes, since the rules are cleaner and Sneak will be in standard, it's more likely we’ll use Sneak.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is one of four special cards with unique artwork created exclusively for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards outside of your main deck, so was I. Yet according to Wizards, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, below are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from the TMNT set:

Following the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they took care to make sure the new cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for over a year and we knew it would be Standard-legal and what other sets were going to be alongside it in Standard,” a lead designer says. “We designed to ensure that there's synergy with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red archetype focused on artifacts.

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

After declining to create 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 includes six different legendary creatures who could work as your commander based on how you combine them (five of the cards have a special partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area instead of only one). Check them out below:

This Commander precon is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up due to popularity. Wizards told that it includes 43 brand-new cards altogether, which translates to an additional thirty-seven TMNT-themed cards besides the six legendary commanders shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, this suggests approximately 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon includes 37 land cards.)

How will the Turtles edition of the iconic Sol Ring look like? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, Wizards is offering a collection. It is priced at $69.99 and includes the listed items:

• 9 Play Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Regular land cards
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promo card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it is packaged in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Each Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two helper cards
• One Large spindown life counter
• One storage box

For those curious what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s basically a reprinted older card featuring brand-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. In total, there are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

The Pizza Bundle launches a couple of weeks later than the main set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

This special bundle is made for a four-player draft and is priced at $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Play Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• 90 Regular land cards (for building your draft deck)
• Ten Non-foil double-sided tokens
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products aimed at beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of prebuilt decks that allow two players join forces to face a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The general idea is that every Boss card grants unique powers to the creatures included in the Boss deck. The Boss automatically plays one other card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
