Everyone's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The well-known TCG's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a special panel hosted at NYCC. Is this a exciting addition or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Take a look below at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with key context. Everything mentioned below releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into the many special decks and bundles available, let’s take a look at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a few surprising features. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu, in which gamers can play powerful creatures onto the battlefield when an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can apply to non-creature spells too. The designers also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a little (Sneak is treated as casting, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in future sets from now on.

Should we go back to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu since that plane is it was developed and it is iconic to that,” an experienced game designer stated. “However in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak is what's going to be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is one of four special cards with special art designed specifically for the expansion by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. But according to the developers, it’s now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, below are the extremely bizarre land cards with full art from the TMNT set:

Following the company’s current policy, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers state they took care to ensure the new cards and mechanics meshed well with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and what other sets would be near it in standard,” a lead designer says. “We designed to make sure that they work well with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

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

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to design any Commander precons for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it includes six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your commander based on how you combine them (five of the cards have a special partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command area instead of just one). Take a look below:

This Commander precon is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to demand. Sources indicated that it includes 43 new cards in total, which translates to an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed cards in addition to the six legendary commanders shown above. (Doing some rough math, this suggests approximately 20 reprints if we assume the precon includes 37 land cards.)

What will the Turtles version of the iconic Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and find out.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

Typically, Wizards is offering a collection. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• 9 Play Boosters
• 15 Foil land cards
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Every pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and includes the items below:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil pizza bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• One Card-storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprinted older card with brand-new TMNT artwork. The team revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces onto a pizza slice. In total, there are six distinct pizza promos in total.

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-player draft and is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Standard Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (aka, the prize for winning)
• 90 Regular basic lands (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Non-foil token cards
• One Draft insert (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 part of its ongoing effort to develop Magic products aimed at beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of prebuilt decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The general idea is that every Boss card gives unique powers to the creature cards included in the Boss deck. The Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
