The world's favorite pizza-loving heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The well-known TCG's company, Wizards of the Coast, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a exclusive event held at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you be the judge.

Take a look here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including key background. All items listed below releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before diving into all the various unique products and bundles available, let’s take a look at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the expansion are set at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few shell-shocking details. To begin, there's a new mechanic called Sneak, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, in which players can cheat powerful creatures onto the battlefield whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The big difference in this case is that this new ability can affect spells that aren’t creatures as well. The designers also used this chance to clean up the mechanic a little (It is treated as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but chances are we'll see Sneak in upcoming expansions from now on.

“If we ever were to return to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu since that's where it was developed and it is iconic to that,” a senior game designer stated. “But in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability will be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

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

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing game cards outside of your deck, many players were. Yet according to Wizards, it’s now a legal card in every format of Magic.

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

Following Wizards of the Coast's current policy, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers say they were careful to ensure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for over a year and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and which sets were going to be alongside it in Standard,” a lead designer commented. “We designed to ensure that they work well with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red strategy focused on artifacts.

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

After declining to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the upcoming 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 creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five of the cards have a special Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command area rather than just one). Check them out below:

This Commander precon is set at $69.99, though the price may rise based on popularity. Sources indicated that it contains 43 new cards in total, which translates to an extra 37 Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders shown above. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprints if we assume the deck includes 37 lands.)

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

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• One Foil promotional card
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

Pizza 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 delivery box. Every Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil pizza bundle promo cards
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

If you’re wondering what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card featuring brand-new Turtle-themed artwork. Wizards revealed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. There are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

This special bundle launches a few weeks after the core 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:

• Twelve Play Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the prize for winning)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (for building your deck)
• 10 Non-foil token cards
• One drafting guide (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative 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” deck that pilots itself.

The concept is that every Boss card gives unique powers to the creatures contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts an additional card per turn, and you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
