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

Take a look here at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with key background. All items mentioned below launches on March 6, 2026, except for one item — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many unique products and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a couple of shell-shocking features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu, where players can play big creatures onto the battlefield when 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 used this chance to clean up the mechanic a little (Sneak is treated as casting, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability is staying, but chances are players will encounter Sneak in upcoming expansions from now on.

Should we were to return to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use the original ability since that's where it originated and it is iconic to that,” a senior designer explained. “But on other planes, since the rules are cleaner and Sneak will be Standard-legal, it's more likely that we'd use the updated version.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with special art designed exclusively for the expansion by TMNT co-creator the co-creator.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your main deck, so was I. Yet according to the developers, it’s now a official card in every format of Magic.

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

As per the company’s current policy, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they were careful to ensure the cards and mechanics meshed well with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for over a year and we were aware it would be in standard and which sets would be near it in standard,” a lead designer commented. “Our goal was to ensure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red strategy focused on artifact cards.

“They mesh together to provide the pieces for a enjoyable Standard-legal deck,” he added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just one precon, but it does come with six different legendary creatures that can serve as your commander depending on how you pair them (five cards have a special partner ability called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command zone instead of just one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power precon is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on popularity. Wizards told that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an additional 37 TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon includes 37 land cards.)

How will the TMNT version of 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 includes the listed items:

• Nine Play Boosters
• Fifteen Foil basic lands
• 15 Regular land cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Foil promotional card
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• One Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza box. Every Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• Five Foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Traditional foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprinted older card featuring all-new Turtle-themed art. The team revealed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on 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-person draft and is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (aka, the reward for coming in first)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (for building your deck)
• 10 Regular double-sided tokens
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page 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 aimed at beginners. Here, the cooperative set is a special set of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The concept is that each Boss card grants unique powers to the creature cards contained in the boss deck. The Boss automatically casts an additional card each turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
