Everyone's favorite pizza-eating heroes are coming to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's company, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a exclusive panel held at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you decide.

Take a look below at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including key background. Everything mentioned here launches on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before diving into all the various unique products and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few surprising details. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu ability, where gamers can play big creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The big difference here is that this new ability can apply to non-creature spells too. The designers also used this chance to clean up the ability a bit (It counts as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). The original ability isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see Sneak in future sets moving forward.

Should we go back to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability since that plane is it originated and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced game designer stated. “But in other settings, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use the updated version.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork designed specifically for the expansion by TMNT co-creator the co-creator.

Additionally, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards outside of your deck, many players were. But according to Wizards, that's now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:

Following Wizards of the Coast's current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers say they were careful to make sure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and what other sets were going to be alongside it in Standard,” a lead designer commented. “We designed to ensure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

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

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to design any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just a single precon, but it does come with six different legendary creatures who could work as your commander depending on how you combine them (five cards have a special partner ability called “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command area instead of only one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power precon is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on demand. Sources told that it includes 43 brand-new cards in total, which means an extra 37 TMNT-themed cards besides the six legendary commanders shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the deck comes with 37 land cards.)

How will the TMNT version of Sol Ring look like? We’ll just have to wait and see.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, Wizards is selling a bundle. This one costs $69.99 and includes the following:

• 9 Play Boosters
• Fifteen Foil land cards
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Foil promotional card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza box. Every pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 1 Premium Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Oversized life tracker
• One Card-storage box

If you’re wondering what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with brand-new TMNT artwork. The team showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza. In total, there are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

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

Draft Night

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

• Twelve Standard Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (also known as, the reward for coming in first)
• 90 Regular basic lands (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• One Draft insert (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Lastly, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to create Magic products aimed at beginners. Here, the cooperative set is a special set of decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

The concept is that each Boss card grants unique powers to the creatures contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts an additional card per turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
