Everyone's beloved pizza-eating superheroes are coming to the popular trading card game. The popular TCG's company, the game's creators, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a special event held at NYCC. Could this be a exciting new set or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you decide.

Check out below at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with key background. All items listed below releases on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before we get into all the various special decks and collections available, we’ll examine at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 each, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a couple of surprising features. First, there's a new mechanic named Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, where players can play powerful creatures into 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 took the opportunity to refine the mechanic a bit (It counts as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in future sets from now on.

“If we ever go back to the Kamigawa plane, we might use Ninjutsu because that's where it was developed and it is iconic to that,” a senior game designer stated. “However in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be Standard-legal, it’s probable that we'd use the updated version.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork created specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator the co-creator.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play cards outside of your main deck, many players were. Yet according to Wizards, it’s now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, below are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from this set:

Following Wizards of the Coast's existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they took care to ensure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for over a year and we knew it was going to be Standard-legal and what other sets would be alongside it in standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to ensure that there's synergy with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet strategy focused on artifact cards.

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

Following a decision to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it does come with six different legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five cards have a special partner ability named “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command area instead of only one). Check them out below:

The Turtle Power deck is set at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on demand. Wizards indicated that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an additional thirty-seven Turtle-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Doing some rough math, this suggests approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon includes 37 land cards.)

How will the TMNT version of Sol Ring look like? Fans must wait and find out.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

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

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Non-foil basic lands
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Large life tracker
• One Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it comes in what looks like a pizza box. Every Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Standard 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 Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s essentially a reprinted older card with all-new TMNT artwork. The team showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter adding black licorice pieces onto a pizza. In total, there are six different pizza promos available.

This special bundle launches a few weeks after the core 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:

• 12 Standard Boosters (ideal for a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• Ninety Regular basic lands (for building your deck)
• Ten Non-foil double-sided tokens
• One drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Lastly, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to develop Magic game products aimed at new players. In this case, Turtle Team-Up 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 general idea here that every Boss card gives unique powers to the creature cards included in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card each turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
