Everyone's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are arriving to Magic: The Gathering. The popular trading card game's company, the game's creators, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a exclusive event held at New York Comic Con. Could this be a radical addition or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you decide.

Take a look below at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with key context. All items listed below releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into all the various special decks and bundles available, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few surprising details. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu, in which players can cheat big creatures onto the game field when an attacker isn’t blocked. The key change in this case is that Sneak can apply to non-creature spells too. The designers also took the opportunity to refine the ability a bit (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but chances are players will encounter the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use the original ability because that's where it originated and it is iconic to that,” a senior designer explained. “But on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak will be Standard-legal, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is one of four cards with unique artwork created specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. But as per the developers, that's now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

Anyway, here are the highly unusual land cards with full art from this set:

As per the company’s current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they were careful to ensure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for 15 months and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and which sets would be near it in standard,” a lead designer commented. “We designed to make sure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red strategy built around artifacts.

“They combine to offer the pieces for a enjoyable Standard deck,” the designer says.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just a single precon, but it includes six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your Commander based on how you pair them (five cards include a unique Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area rather than only one). Check them out below:

The Turtle Power precon is priced at $69.99, though the price may rise due to popularity. Sources told that it contains 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an additional 37 TMNT-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary creatures pictured above. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon comes with 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

Typically, Wizards is offering a collection. This one is priced at $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Foil promotional card
• One Large life tracker

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 box. Every Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• Nine Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Oversized life tracker

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprinted older card with all-new Turtle-themed art. Wizards showed one for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza. In total, there are six different pizza promos available.

This special bundle releases 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 draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the prize for winning)
• 90 Non-foil land cards (for building your deck)
• Ten Non-foil token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting this expansion)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic products specifically for beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend join forces against a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The concept is that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creature cards included in the boss deck. The Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
