The world's favorite pizza-eating heroes are coming to the popular trading card game. The well-known TCG's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a special panel held at NYCC. Is this a radical addition or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? We'll let you decide.

Take a look below at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with key context. All items mentioned here launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before we get into the many unique products and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Play boosters for the expansion are priced at $6.99 each, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising details. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, where gamers can cheat powerful creatures onto the game field whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The big difference in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells as well. The designers also used this chance to refine the mechanic a little (Sneak counts as casting, as opposed to the older mechanic). The original ability isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see Sneak in upcoming expansions moving forward.

“If we ever go back to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability because that's where it originated and it’s a hallmark to that,” a senior game designer stated. “But in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use the updated version.”

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

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

Anyway, here are the highly unusual full-art lands from the TMNT set:

As per the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they took care to make sure the cards and mechanics meshed well with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for over a year and we knew it would be Standard-legal and what other sets would be near it in Standard,” the designer commented. “We designed to make sure that there's synergy with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red strategy built around artifact cards.

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

After declining to design any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just one precon, but it does come with six different legendary cards that can serve as your commander depending 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 instead of only one). Check them out below:

This Commander precon is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on popularity. Sources told that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which means an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures shown above. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon comes with 37 lands.)

What will the Turtles version of the iconic Sol Ring appear? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, Wizards is selling a bundle. It costs $69.99 and includes the listed items:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil land cards
• 15 Regular land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Foil promo card
• One Large life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it comes in a box resembling a pizza box. Each pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

• Nine Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Foil pizza basic lands
• Two Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Large life tracker
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card featuring all-new Turtle-themed art. Wizards showed one for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza. In total, there are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

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

Draft Bundle

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

• Twelve Standard Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• Ninety Non-foil land cards (for building your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, the developers 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, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces against a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The general idea here that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creatures contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
