The world's favorite pizza-loving superheroes are coming to Magic: The Gathering. The popular TCG's company, the game's creators, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a special event hosted at NYCC. Could this be a radical addition or yet another crossover marketing move? We'll let you be the judge.

Check out below at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including key context. All items listed below launches on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

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

Let's unpack a couple of shell-shocking features. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu, in which gamers can cheat big creatures into the game field whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells as well. Wizards also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a bit (It counts as casting, unlike Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in future sets from now on.

“If we ever go back to the Kamigawa plane, we might use Ninjutsu because that's where it was developed and it’s a hallmark to that,” an experienced game designer explained. “But on other planes, because the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with special art designed exclusively for the expansion by TMNT original artist Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. Yet as per Wizards, that's now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

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

Following Wizards of the Coast's current policy, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they took care to ensure the 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 would be in standard and which sets were going to be alongside it in standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to ensure that there's synergy with some of those sets 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-legal deck,” the designer added.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it includes six different legendary cards who could work as your Commander based on how you pair them (five cards have a special partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area instead of just one). Take a look for yourself:

The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on demand. Wizards told that it includes 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an extra 37 Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary commanders pictured earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon includes 37 land cards.)

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

Standard Bundle (Regular)

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

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Foil promo card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

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

• 9 Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza-themed lands
• Five Foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Large life tracker
• One storage box

For those curious about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring all-new TMNT art. Wizards showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza slice. There are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

This special bundle releases a few weeks after the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

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

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for four people to draft)
• One Collector Booster (aka, the reward for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular land cards (to build your deck)
• Ten Non-foil double-sided tokens
• 1 drafting guide (a one-sheet guide to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to develop Magic products aimed at beginners. Here, the cooperative set is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The concept is that each Boss card grants unique powers to the creatures included in the boss deck. The Boss automatically plays an additional card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
