Everyone's favorite pizza-loving heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a exclusive event held at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or yet another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you decide.

Take a look below at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with key context. All items listed here releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into all the various special decks and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Play boosters for the expansion are set at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising details. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, where players can play big creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The key change in this case is that Sneak can apply to spells that aren’t creatures as well. Wizards also took the opportunity to clean up the ability a bit (It is treated as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in upcoming expansions moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use the original ability because that's where it originated and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced game designer explained. “However on other planes, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it’s probable that we'd use the updated version.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is among four cards with special art created specifically for the expansion by TMNT original artist Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards that aren't in your deck, so was I. But according to Wizards, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, below are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from this set:

Following the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they were careful to ensure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we were aware it would be in standard and which sets would be near it in standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

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

“They mesh together to provide the pieces for a fun Standard deck,” he says.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the upcoming 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 distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander based on how you combine them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command zone rather than just one). Check them out below:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to demand. Sources told that it includes 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an extra 37 TMNT-themed cards besides the six legendary commanders shown above. (Doing some rough math, this suggests about 20 reprints if we assume the precon comes with 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

Typically, the company is selling a bundle. It costs $69.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Play Boosters
• Fifteen Foil basic lands
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• 2 helper cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it is packaged in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Every pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 1 Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Large spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring all-new TMNT art. The team showed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza. There are six different pizza promos in total.

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

Draft Night

This special bundle is designed for a four-person draft and is priced at $119.99. That will get you:

• 12 Standard Boosters (the perfect amount four people to play draft)
• One Collector Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• Ninety Non-foil land cards (for building your draft deck)
• 10 Regular token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to develop Magic products aimed at new players. Here, the cooperative set is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend team up to face a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

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