Everyone's beloved pizza-loving heroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a special panel hosted at New York Comic Con. Is this a radical new set or yet another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Check out below at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including some useful context. Everything listed here launches on March 6, 2026, except for one item — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before we get into all the various unique products and collections on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Play boosters for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a couple of surprising details. First, there's a new mechanic called Sneak, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, in which players can play big creatures into the game field whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The key change here is that Sneak can apply to spells that aren’t creatures too. The designers also used this chance to clean up the ability a bit (It counts as playing a spell, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability is staying, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu since that plane is it was developed and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced designer stated. “However in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be in standard, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is among four cards with special art created exclusively for the set by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards outside of your main deck, so was I. But as per Wizards, that's now a official card in all formats of Magic.

Anyway, below are the extremely bizarre land cards with full art from this set:

Following the company’s current policy, all these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers say they took care to ensure the new cards and mechanics meshed well 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 what other sets were going to be alongside it in standard,” the designer commented. “We designed to ensure that there's synergy with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype built around artifacts.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just a single precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five of the cards include a unique partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command zone rather than just one). Check them out for yourself:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on demand. Wizards told that it contains 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an additional thirty-seven Turtle-themed cards in addition to the six legendary creatures shown earlier. (Doing some rough math, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck comes with 37 land cards.)

How will the Turtles edition of Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• 9 Play Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Non-foil land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promo card
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it is packaged in what looks like a pizza box. Each pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the following:

• Nine Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• Two Foil pizza bundle promo cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring brand-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

This special bundle releases a couple of weeks later than the main set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

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

• 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (to build your deck)
• 10 Regular double-sided tokens
• One Draft insert (a one-sheet guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic products aimed at beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of decks that allow two players team up to face a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The general idea is that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creature cards included in the boss deck. The Boss automatically casts an additional card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
