The world's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are coming to Magic: The Gathering. The popular TCG's publisher, the game's creators, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a special panel held at New York Comic Con. Could this be a radical addition or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Check out below at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including key context. Everything mentioned here releases on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into the many special decks and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by Wizards. Play boosters for the set are set at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a couple of surprising details. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, where players can cheat big creatures onto the game field whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can apply to spells that aren’t creatures as well. Wizards also took the opportunity to refine the ability a bit (It is treated as playing a spell, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability isn't going away, but chances are we'll see Sneak in upcoming expansions moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to the Kamigawa plane, we might use Ninjutsu since that plane is it originated and it is iconic to that,” a senior designer explained. “But on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be Standard-legal, it's more likely we’ll use the updated version.”

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

Additionally, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards outside of your deck, many players were. Yet as per Wizards, it’s now a legal card in every format of Magic.

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

Following Wizards of the Coast's current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers state they took care to make sure the new cards and gameplay elements meshed well with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for over a year and we knew it would be in standard and which sets would 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.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red archetype focused on artifact cards.

“They mesh together to offer the components for a fun Standard-legal deck,” the designer 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. This time it’s just a single precon, but it includes six different legendary creatures who could work 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 of them in the command zone instead of only one). Check them out for yourself:

The Turtle Power deck is set at $69.99, though that could easily go up due to popularity. Sources told that it includes 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon includes 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

As per usual, the company is selling a bundle. It costs $69.99 and contains the following:

• 9 Play Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Foil promo card
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• 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 delivery box. Each Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Foil pizza basic lands
• Two Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

If you’re wondering about the “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprinted older card with brand-new Turtle-themed art. The team revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter sprinkling toppings on a pizza. There are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

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

Draft Bundle

This special bundle is designed for a four-player draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Standard Boosters (ideal for four people to play draft)
• One Collector Booster (aka, the reward for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular basic lands (to build your deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• One Draft insert (a one-sheet instruction sheet 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 create Magic game products aimed at beginners. Here, the cooperative set is a special set of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

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