The world's favorite pizza-loving superheroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular TCG's publisher, the game's creators, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a exclusive panel hosted at New York Comic Con. Could this be a exciting new set 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 background. Everything listed here releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before we get into the many special decks and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few surprising features. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu, in which gamers can cheat powerful creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference in this case is that this new ability can apply to non-creature spells too. The designers also took the opportunity to refine the mechanic a little (Sneak is treated as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see the new mechanic in upcoming expansions moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use the original ability since that plane is it originated and it’s a hallmark of that world,” an experienced game designer stated. “But on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be in standard, it's more likely we’ll use the updated version.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with unique artwork created exclusively for the expansion by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman.

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

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

As per the company’s existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they were careful to ensure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for over a year and we were aware it would be in standard and which sets would be near it in Standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that there's synergy with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red archetype built around artifacts.

“They mesh together to offer the pieces for a fun Standard deck,” he added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

After declining to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your commander depending on how you pair them (five of the cards include a unique partner ability called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command area instead of only one). Check them out below:

This Commander deck is set at $69.99, although the price may rise based on demand. Sources told that it contains 43 brand-new cards in total, which translates to an additional thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprints if we estimate the precon includes 37 lands.)

How will the TMNT version of Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Foil land cards
• Fifteen Non-foil basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• One Traditional foil promo card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza Bundle

Here’s a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it comes in what looks like a pizza box. Each pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• Two Traditional foil pizza bundle promo cards
• Two helper cards
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

For those curious what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring all-new TMNT artwork. Wizards revealed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza. There are six distinct pizza promos available.

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

Draft Bundle

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

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the prize for winning)
• 90 Non-foil land cards (to build your deck)
• 10 Non-foil double-sided tokens
• One Draft insert (a one-sheet guide to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to create Magic products specifically for beginners. In this case, the cooperative set is a unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The general idea here that each Boss card gives unique powers to the creature cards included in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays one other card per turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
