The world's beloved pizza-eating heroes are coming to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's publisher, the game's creators, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a exclusive panel hosted at NYCC. Is this a radical new set or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you decide.

Take a look below at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful background. Everything mentioned below releases on March 6, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many special decks and bundles available, let’s take a look at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Standard booster packs for the set are priced at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a couple of surprising details. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, where gamers can play big creatures onto the game field whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference here is that Sneak can affect non-creature spells too. The designers also used this chance to refine the mechanic a bit (It is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). The original ability is staying, but it's more likely players will encounter the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use the original ability since that's where it was developed and it’s a hallmark of that world,” a senior game designer explained. “However on other planes, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be Standard-legal, it's more likely that we'd use the updated version.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork created exclusively for the expansion by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. Yet according to the developers, that's now a legal card in every format of Magic.

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

Following Wizards of the Coast's current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers say they took care to ensure the new cards and gameplay elements meshed well with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for over a year and we knew it was going to be in standard and which sets were going to be alongside it in standard,” the designer commented. “We designed to make sure that they work well with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype focused on artifact cards.

“They combine to provide the components for a enjoyable Standard deck,” the designer says.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

Following a decision to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is reversing course 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 of the cards have a special partner ability called “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command area rather than just one). Check them out below:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on popularity. Wizards indicated that it contains 43 brand-new cards in total, which translates to an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured above. (Doing some rough math, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon comes with 37 lands.)

What will the TMNT edition of Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and see.

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, the company is selling a bundle. It costs $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Play Boosters
• Fifteen Foil land cards
• 15 Regular basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• One Oversized life tracker
• One Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Every pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

For those curious about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprinted older card with brand-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. There are six distinct pizza promos in total.

This special bundle releases a couple of weeks later than the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

This special bundle 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 Collector Booster (also known as, the reward for winning)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (to build your draft deck)
• 10 Regular token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page guide to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic products aimed at new players. Here, the cooperative set is a special set of 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 gives special abilities to the creatures contained in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts an additional card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
