Everyone's favorite pizza-eating superheroes are coming to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a exclusive panel hosted at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? We'll let you be the judge.

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

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many special decks and bundles available, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a couple of shell-shocking details. First, there's a new mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu, in which gamers can cheat powerful creatures into the game field whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The big difference here is that this new ability can apply to spells that aren’t creatures too. The designers also took the opportunity to refine the ability a bit (It counts as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but it's more likely we'll see Sneak in future sets moving forward.

Should we were to return to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use the original ability since that plane is it was developed and it is iconic to that,” a senior designer stated. “But in other settings, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it's more likely we’ll use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with special art created specifically for the set by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. Yet as per Wizards, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

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

Following Wizards of the Coast's existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. The designers state they took care to make sure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we knew it was going to be Standard-legal and what other sets would be near it in Standard,” the designer says. “We designed to ensure that they work well with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet strategy focused on artifacts.

“They mesh together to offer the pieces for a enjoyable Standard deck,” the designer added.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just one precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five of the cards have a special Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command zone rather than only one). Check them out below:

This Commander precon is set at $69.99, although the price may rise due to demand. Wizards told that it includes 43 new cards in total, which translates to an additional thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary commanders shown above. (Calculating roughly, this suggests approximately 20 reprints if we estimate the precon comes with 37 lands.)

How will the Turtles version of Sol Ring look like? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

Typically, the company is selling a bundle. This one costs $69.99 and contains the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Foil promo card
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it comes in what looks like a pizza box. Each Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promo cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

If you’re wondering what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card featuring all-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter adding toppings onto a pizza. There are six distinct pizza promos in total.

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

Draft Night

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

• 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the reward for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular land cards (to build your deck)
• Ten Regular token cards
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to create Magic products specifically for beginners. In this case, the cooperative set is a special set of prebuilt decks that allow two players team up against a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The concept here that each Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures included in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
