Everyone's beloved pizza-loving heroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular trading card game's company, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a exclusive panel hosted at New York Comic Con. Is this a radical new set or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you be the judge.

Check out here at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including some useful background. All items mentioned here releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before we get into all the various unique products and bundles available, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, 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, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, where players can cheat powerful creatures onto the game field when an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference here is that Sneak can affect spells that aren’t creatures too. Wizards also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a little (Sneak counts as playing a spell, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability is staying, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in upcoming expansions from now on.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, we might use the original ability since that's where it originated and it’s a hallmark of that world,” an experienced game designer stated. “But on other planes, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable that we'd use the updated version.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with unique artwork created specifically for the expansion by TMNT original artist the co-creator.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards outside of your main deck, many players were. Yet according to the developers, that's now a legal card in every format of Magic.

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

Following the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. 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 headed the development for 15 months and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and what other sets would be alongside it in standard,” the designer commented. “Our goal was to ensure that they work well with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet archetype focused on artifacts.

“They mesh together to offer the components for a enjoyable Standard-legal deck,” the designer added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

Following a decision to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just a single precon, but it includes six distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command area rather than just one). Take a look below:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on popularity. Wizards told that it includes 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an additional 37 Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders shown above. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck includes 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

As per usual, Wizards is selling a collection. It costs $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil land cards
• 15 Regular land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Foil promotional card
• One Large life tracker
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

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

• Nine Standard Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• Two Foil pizza bundle promo cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering about the “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprinted older card with all-new TMNT artwork. Wizards revealed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter adding toppings on a pizza. In total, there are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

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

Draft Bundle

This special bundle is designed for a four-player draft and is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• Twelve Standard Boosters (ideal for a group of four to draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• 90 Regular land cards (to build your draft deck)
• 10 Non-foil token cards
• One Draft insert (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products specifically for beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The concept is that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creature cards contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
