Everyone's favorite pizza-eating superheroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known TCG's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a special event held at New York Comic Con. Could this be a exciting addition or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you decide.

Take a look here at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including key context. All items mentioned below launches on March 6, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into all the various special decks and collections available, let’s take a look at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Play boosters for the set are priced at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few shell-shocking details. First, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, where players can cheat big creatures onto the battlefield whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference here is that Sneak can apply to non-creature spells as well. The designers also used this chance to clean up the ability a bit (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu is staying, but chances are players will encounter the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

Should we were to return to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability since that plane is it originated and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced designer stated. “But in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and the new ability is what's going to be in standard, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with unique artwork created specifically for the set by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards outside of your main deck, so was I. Yet as per Wizards, it’s now a official card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from the TMNT set:

Following the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard format. The designers state they were careful to make sure the cards and mechanics worked smoothly with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for 15 months and we were aware it was going to be Standard-legal and which sets were going to be near it in standard,” the designer says. “We designed to ensure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red strategy built around artifacts.

“They mesh together to offer the pieces for a enjoyable Standard deck,” he added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

Following a decision to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just a single precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five cards include a unique partner ability called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command zone rather than only one). Take a look for yourself:

The Turtle Power deck is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to demand. Sources told that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which means an additional 37 TMNT-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary commanders pictured above. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the deck includes 37 lands.)

What will the TMNT edition of the iconic Sol Ring look like? Fans must wait and see.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

As per usual, the company is offering a collection. This one costs $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Traditional foil promo card
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is 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 costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Regular pizza-themed lands
• 5 Foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s basically a reprint of an older card with brand-new Turtle-themed art. The team showed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza. In total, there are six different pizza promos available.

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

Draft Bundle

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)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the prize for coming in first)
• Ninety Non-foil basic lands (for building your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to develop Magic products specifically for new players. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of prebuilt decks that allow two players join forces to face a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The general idea is that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures contained in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays one other card per turn, and you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
