Everyone's favorite pizza-eating heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's publisher, the game's creators, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a special event hosted at NYCC. Is this a radical new set or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you decide.

Check out below at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with some useful context. All items mentioned below launches on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into all the various special decks and collections available, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, where gamers can cheat big 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 too. The designers also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a bit (It counts as playing a spell, as opposed to Ninjutsu). The original ability isn't going away, but chances are players will encounter Sneak in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use the original ability because that plane is it was developed and it is iconic to that,” an experienced designer explained. “But in other settings, because the mechanics are smoother and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is one of 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 allows playing game cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. Yet according to the developers, that's now a official card in all formats of Magic.

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

As per Wizards of the Coast's current policy, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers state they were careful to make sure the new cards and gameplay elements meshed well with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we were aware it was going to be in standard and which sets would be alongside it in Standard,” a lead designer says. “We designed to make sure that there's synergy with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red archetype built around artifact cards.

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your Commander based on how you combine them (five cards include a unique partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command zone instead of just one). Take a look for yourself:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, although the price may rise due to demand. Sources told that it includes 43 brand-new cards in total, which translates to an additional thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary commanders shown above. (Calculating roughly, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon includes 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

Typically, Wizards is offering a collection. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Foil land cards
• 15 Regular basic lands
• Two Reference cards
• One Foil promotional card
• 1 Large life tracker
• 1 storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it is packaged in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Each Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• Five Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• Two helper cards
• One Large spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

If you’re wondering about the “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprinted older card with all-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team revealed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza. In total, there are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

The Pizza Bundle releases a couple of weeks later than the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

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

• Twelve Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• Ninety Non-foil basic lands (for building your deck)
• 10 Non-foil double-sided tokens
• One drafting guide (a one-sheet guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to create Magic products specifically for beginners. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend team up to face a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

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