The world's beloved pizza-eating heroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular trading card game's company, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a special event hosted at New York Comic Con. Is this a radical new set or yet another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you decide.

Check out below at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with key background. Everything mentioned below launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into the many unique products and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Play boosters for the expansion are priced at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few surprising details. First, there's a new mechanic named Sneak, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, in which players can play big creatures into the game field when an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The key change here is that Sneak can apply to spells that aren’t creatures as well. The designers also used this chance to clean up the ability a bit (It counts as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are players will encounter the new mechanic in upcoming expansions moving forward.

Should we go back to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use the original ability since that plane is it originated and it’s a hallmark to that,” a senior designer stated. “However on other planes, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability will be Standard-legal, it’s probable that we'd use Sneak.”

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

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. Yet according to the developers, it’s now a legal card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, below are the highly unusual land cards with full art from this set:

Following Wizards of the Coast's current policy, all 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 15 months and we knew it would be Standard-legal and which sets were going to be alongside it in Standard,” the designer commented. “We designed to ensure that they work well with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

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

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it includes six different legendary cards who could work as your commander based on how you pair them (five of the cards include a unique Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command area rather than only one). Check them out for yourself:

The Turtle Power deck is set at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on popularity. Sources indicated that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an extra 37 Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck includes 37 land cards.)

What will the TMNT edition of Sol Ring appear? We’ll just have to wait and see.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, Wizards is offering a bundle. This one costs $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil land cards
• 15 Non-foil basic lands
• Two helper cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it comes in a box resembling a pizza box. Every pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• Two Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

For those curious what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s essentially a reprinted older card with brand-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

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

Draft Bundle

This special bundle is made for a four-person draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount four people to play draft)
• One Collector Booster (aka, the prize for winning)
• Ninety Regular land cards (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• One Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Lastly, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products specifically for beginners. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The concept 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 you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
