The world's favorite pizza-loving heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's company, the game's creators, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a special event held at New York Comic Con. Could this be a radical addition or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you be the judge.

Take a look below at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful background. All items mentioned below releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before diving into the many unique products and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a couple of shell-shocking details. To begin, there's a new mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu, where gamers can cheat big creatures onto the battlefield when an attacker goes unblocked. The key change here is that Sneak can affect non-creature spells as well. Wizards also took the opportunity to clean up the ability a bit (Sneak counts as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see Sneak in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability since that's where it was developed and it’s a hallmark of that world,” a senior designer explained. “But in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability will be Standard-legal, it's more likely that we'd use the updated version.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with unique artwork designed exclusively for the expansion by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing game cards outside of your deck, so was I. But according to the developers, it’s now a official card in every format of Magic.

In any case, here are the highly unusual land cards with full art from this set:

As per the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers state they were careful to ensure the new cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for over a year and we were aware it was going to be in standard and what other sets were going to be alongside it in standard,” the designer says. “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 mesh together to provide the pieces for a enjoyable Standard-legal deck,” the designer says.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it includes six distinct legendary cards who could work as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command zone instead of only one). Check them out below:

This Commander precon is set at $69.99, although the price may rise based on demand. Sources indicated that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Doing some rough math, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck includes 37 lands.)

How will the Turtles version of Sol Ring appear? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, Wizards is selling a collection. This one is priced at $69.99 and includes the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil basic lands
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• One Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it is packaged in what looks like a pizza box. Every Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with brand-new TMNT art. The team revealed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter adding toppings onto a pizza. In total, there are six distinct pizza promos in total.

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

Draft Night

This unique product is designed for a four-person draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Play Boosters (the perfect amount four people to draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (also known as, the reward for winning)
• 90 Regular land cards (for building your deck)
• Ten Non-foil double-sided tokens
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to create Magic game products aimed at new players. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend join forces against a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

The general idea here that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures included in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts an additional card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
