Everyone's beloved pizza-loving heroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's company, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a special event held at NYCC. Could this be a radical new set or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you decide.

Check out here at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with key background. Everything mentioned below releases on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Cards

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

Let's unpack a couple of surprising details. First, there's a new mechanic named Sneak, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, in which players can play powerful creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The big difference here is that Sneak can affect spells that aren’t creatures as well. Wizards also used this chance to clean up the mechanic a bit (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are we'll see Sneak in future sets from now on.

Should we go back to Kamigawa, we might use Ninjutsu since that's where it was developed and it’s a hallmark of that world,” a senior game designer explained. “But on other planes, because the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it's more likely we’ll use the updated version.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is among four special cards with special art designed specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator the co-creator.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards that aren't in your main deck, so was I. Yet as per Wizards, it’s now a official card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, here are the highly unusual full-art lands from the TMNT set:

As per the company’s existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they took care to ensure the new cards and gameplay elements meshed well with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

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

For example, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red archetype focused on artifacts.

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to design any pre-constructed Commander decks 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 one precon, but it includes six distinct legendary cards who could work as your Commander based on how you pair them (five of the cards have a special Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command zone instead of just one). Check them out for yourself:

The Turtle Power precon is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on demand. Wizards indicated that it contains 43 brand-new cards in total, which translates to an additional 37 Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders shown above. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck comes with 37 lands.)

What will the TMNT edition of Sol Ring look like? We’ll just have to wait and see.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• Nine Play Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil land cards
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• One Large life tracker
• 1 storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it comes in a box resembling a pizza box. Each Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Regular pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

For those curious about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s basically a reprint of an older card with brand-new TMNT art. Wizards revealed one for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces onto a pizza slice. There are six distinct pizza promos in total.

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

Draft Night

This special bundle is designed for a four-player draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (also known as, the reward for winning)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting this expansion)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to create Magic products aimed at beginners. Here, the cooperative set is a special set of decks that let you and a friend team up to face a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The concept here that every Boss card grants unique powers to the creatures contained in the boss deck. The Boss automatically plays one other card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
