The world's beloved pizza-loving heroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The popular TCG's company, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a exclusive panel held at NYCC. Is this a radical addition or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you be the judge.

Take a look here at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with key background. Everything listed here launches on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before we get into all the various unique products and collections on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Play boosters for the set are set at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a few surprising details. First, there's a new mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu, in which gamers can cheat big creatures into the game field whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can affect spells that aren’t creatures too. The designers also took the opportunity to refine the mechanic a little (It is treated as casting, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability is staying, but it's more likely players will encounter the new mechanic in upcoming expansions moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use the original ability because that's where it was developed and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced designer explained. “However on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be in standard, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with special art created exclusively for the set by TMNT original artist Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing game cards that aren't in your main deck, so was I. But according to the developers, that's now a official card in all formats of Magic.

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

Following Wizards of the Coast's existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. The designers say they were careful to make sure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for 15 months and we knew it would be Standard-legal and what other sets were going to be alongside it in Standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet archetype built around artifact cards.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six different legendary cards that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five of the cards include a unique Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command zone rather than only one). Check them out below:

The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to popularity. Sources indicated that it includes 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an additional 37 TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures shown above. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprints if we estimate the deck comes with 37 lands.)

How will the Turtles edition of the iconic Sol Ring appear? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• 9 Play Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Traditional foil promo card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it comes in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Each pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promo cards
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Large life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

For those curious what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprinted older card featuring brand-new Turtle-themed art. Wizards revealed 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 Bundle promo cards available.

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

Draft Night

This special bundle is made for a four-player draft and is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Standard Boosters (ideal for a group of four to draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• Ninety Non-foil basic lands (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Regular token cards
• One Draft insert (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products aimed at beginners. Here, the cooperative set is a unique product of prebuilt decks that allow two players team up 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 plays an additional card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
