Everyone's favorite pizza-loving heroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known TCG's company, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a exclusive event hosted at New York Comic Con. Could this be a exciting new set or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you decide.

Take a look here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including some useful background. Everything mentioned below releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into the many unique products and bundles available, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by Wizards. Play boosters for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a few surprising details. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu, in which players can cheat powerful creatures onto the game field whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can affect spells that aren’t creatures too. The designers also used this chance to clean up the ability a bit (It is treated as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see Sneak in future sets from now on.

Should we go back to Kamigawa, we might use Ninjutsu since that's where it originated and it is iconic to that,” an experienced game designer stated. “However on other planes, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is among four cards with special art designed exclusively for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards outside of your deck, so was I. But as per the developers, that's now a legal card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, here are the extremely bizarre land cards with full art from this set:

Following the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they were careful to ensure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for 15 months and we knew it would be in standard and which sets were going to be near it in Standard,” a lead designer says. “We designed to make sure that there's synergy with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red archetype built around artifacts.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it includes six different legendary creatures that can serve as your commander depending on how you pair them (five of the cards have a special partner ability named “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command zone rather than only one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power precon is set at $69.99, though the price may rise due to demand. Wizards indicated that it includes 43 new cards in total, which means an additional thirty-seven Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon comes with 37 lands.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

As per usual, Wizards is selling a collection. It costs $69.99 and includes the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Foil basic lands
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• One Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it comes in what looks like a pizza box. Each Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• Five Foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Large life tracker
• One storage box

For those curious what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with brand-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter adding black licorice pieces onto a pizza. There are six different pizza promos available.

The Pizza Bundle releases a few weeks after the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

This unique product is designed for a four-person draft and is priced at $119.99. That will get you:

• 12 Standard Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• One Collector Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• Ninety Regular land cards (for building your deck)
• 10 Non-foil token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic products specifically for beginners. In this case, the cooperative set is a unique product of prebuilt decks that allow two players team up against a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The general idea is that every Boss card grants unique powers to the creatures contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays an additional card each turn, and you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
