Everyone's beloved pizza-eating superheroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The well-known trading card game's company, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a special event hosted at NYCC. Is this a radical new set or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you be the judge.

Check out here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful context. Everything listed below releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27th.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many unique products and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the set are set at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu, where players can cheat big creatures onto the game field whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can apply to non-creature spells as well. The designers also used this chance to refine the ability a little (Sneak is treated as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are players will encounter the new mechanic in upcoming expansions from now on.

Should we were to return to Kamigawa, we might use Ninjutsu since that's where it was developed and it is iconic of that world,” a senior designer explained. “However on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability will be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with special art created specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. Yet according to Wizards, that's now a official card in all formats of Magic.

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

As per the company’s existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. The designers state they were careful to make sure the new cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for 15 months and we knew it was going to be in standard and which sets would be alongside it in standard,” the designer says. “We designed to ensure that they work well with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype built around artifact cards.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it includes six distinct legendary creatures who could work as your commander based on how you combine them (five of the cards have a special partner ability called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command area rather than just one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on popularity. Wizards indicated that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which means an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured above. (Doing some rough math, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon comes with 37 lands.)

How will the TMNT edition of the iconic Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, Wizards is offering a bundle. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil land cards
• Fifteen Non-foil land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Foil promotional card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Each pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Large life tracker
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering about the “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s basically a reprinted older card with brand-new TMNT art. The team showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces onto a pizza. In total, there are six different pizza promos available.

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

Draft Night

This special bundle is made for a four-person draft and is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• Twelve Standard Boosters (ideal for four people to play draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (for building your deck)
• Ten Non-foil double-sided tokens
• One drafting guide (a one-sheet guide to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products specifically for new players. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of decks that let you and a friend team up to face a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

The concept here that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creature cards contained in the boss deck. The Boss automatically plays one other card per turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
