Everyone's favorite pizza-eating superheroes are coming to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's company, Wizards of the Coast, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a special event held at New York Comic Con. Is this a radical new set or yet another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you decide.

Take a look below at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including some useful background. Everything listed below launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — a special Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Cards

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

Let's unpack a couple of surprising features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu, where players can play powerful creatures onto the game field whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The key change here is that this new ability can apply to non-creature spells too. The designers also used this chance to clean up the mechanic a little (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, unlike the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in upcoming expansions from now on.

“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,” an experienced game designer explained. “However on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak will be in standard, it’s probable we’ll use the updated version.”

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

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards outside of your deck, so was I. Yet as per Wizards, that's now a official card in all formats of Magic.

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

Following the company’s current policy, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they took care to ensure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we knew it would be in standard and what other sets would be alongside it in Standard,” a lead designer says. “We designed to make sure that there's synergy with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet archetype focused on artifacts.

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just a single precon, but it includes six distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five of the cards include a unique Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command zone rather than only one). Check them out below:

The Turtle Power deck is set at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on popularity. Wizards indicated that it contains 43 new cards in total, which means an extra 37 Turtle-themed cards in addition to the six legendary creatures shown earlier. (Doing some rough math, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the deck comes with 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

As per usual, the company is offering a bundle. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Foil basic lands
• Fifteen Non-foil basic lands
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it comes in a box resembling a pizza box. Each pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza-themed lands
• Five Foil pizza basic lands
• Two Traditional foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering what a “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s basically a reprint of an older card with all-new TMNT art. The team revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces onto a pizza slice. There are six distinct pizza promos available.

The Pizza Bundle launches a few weeks after the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

This special bundle is made for a four-person draft and costs $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Standard Boosters (the perfect amount four people to draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the prize for winning)
• Ninety Non-foil basic lands (to build your deck)
• 10 Regular token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Lastly, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic products specifically for new players. Here, the cooperative set is a special set of decks that allow two players team up to face a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The general idea here that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creatures included in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
