Everyone's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The well-known TCG's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a special event hosted at NYCC. Is this a exciting new set or yet another crossover marketing move? Let you decide.

Check out below at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including key context. All items mentioned here launches on March 6, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before we get into all the various special decks and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 each, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a couple of shell-shocking details. First, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu, where gamers can play big creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The key change here is that Sneak can apply to spells that aren’t creatures too. Wizards also took the opportunity to refine the ability a little (It counts as casting, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to Kamigawa, we might use the original ability since that's where it was developed and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced game designer stated. “However in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable that we'd use the updated version.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is one of four cards with special art created specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing game cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. Yet according to the developers, it’s now a legal card in all formats 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. The designers state they took care to ensure the new cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for over a year and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and which sets would be near it in Standard,” a lead designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that there's synergy with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet strategy focused on artifacts.

“They combine to provide the components for a fun Standard-legal deck,” the designer added.

Preconstructed Commander: 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 changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six different legendary creatures that can serve as your commander depending on how you combine them (five of the cards have a special partner ability called “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area rather than only one). Take a look below:

This Commander deck is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on demand. Sources told that it contains 43 new cards in total, which means an additional thirty-seven Turtle-themed cards in addition to the six legendary creatures shown above. (Calculating roughly, this suggests approximately 20 reprints if we assume the deck includes 37 lands.)

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

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, Wizards is selling a bundle. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Play Boosters
• Fifteen Foil land cards
• Fifteen Regular land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Foil promo card
• One Large life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza box. Every Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

For those curious about the “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with all-new TMNT art. Wizards showed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza slice. There are six different pizza promos available.

The Pizza Bundle releases a couple of weeks later than the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

This unique product is designed for a four-player draft and costs $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for four people to play draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• 90 Regular land cards (to build your deck)
• 10 Regular double-sided tokens
• 1 drafting guide (a one-sheet guide to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to create Magic products aimed at beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of decks that let you and a friend team up against a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The concept here that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creature cards contained in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
