Everyone's beloved pizza-eating superheroes are coming to Magic: The Gathering. The popular TCG's company, Wizards of the Coast, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a exclusive panel hosted at New York Comic Con. Could this be a radical new set or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? We'll let you decide.

Check out below at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful background. Everything listed here releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before diving into all the various unique products and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising features. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, where players can cheat big creatures into the battlefield when an attacker goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can affect non-creature spells too. Wizards also used this chance to clean up the mechanic a little (It is treated as playing a spell, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability isn't going away, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in future sets moving forward.

Should we were to return to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability because that plane is it was developed and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced game designer explained. “But on other planes, since the rules are cleaner and Sneak will be in standard, it’s probable we’ll use the updated version.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is among four special cards with unique artwork designed exclusively for the expansion by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist the co-creator.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards outside of your deck, so was I. Yet as per the developers, that's now a legal card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, below are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from the TMNT set:

As per the company’s current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers state they took care to ensure the cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with current Standard expansions 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 alongside it in standard,” a lead designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that there's synergy with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet archetype built around artifact cards.

“They mesh together to offer the components for a enjoyable Standard deck,” the designer added.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for Spider-Man 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 includes six different legendary cards who could work as your commander based on how you combine them (five of the cards include a unique partner ability named “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command area rather than only one). Take a look for yourself:

This Commander deck is set at $69.99, although the price may rise due to popularity. Wizards told that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which means an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary creatures shown above. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprints if we estimate the precon includes 37 lands.)

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

Standard Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, the company is offering a bundle. It costs $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil land cards
• Fifteen Regular land cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Foil promotional card
• One Large spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it is packaged in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Every pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Premium Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Foil pizza basic lands
• Two Foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-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 TMNT art. Wizards showed one for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter adding black licorice pieces onto a pizza. There are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

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

Draft Bundle

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

• Twelve Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to draft)
• One Collector Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• Ninety Regular land cards (to build your deck)
• 10 Regular double-sided tokens
• One drafting guide (a single-page guide to drafting this expansion)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products aimed at beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces against a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

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