Everyone's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are coming to Magic: The Gathering. The well-known trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a special event hosted at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you decide.

Take a look below at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including some useful background. All items mentioned below releases on March 6, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before we get into all the various unique products and bundles available, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion that were revealed by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few shell-shocking details. To begin, there's a new mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, in which gamers can cheat powerful creatures onto the game field whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells too. Wizards also used this chance to refine the ability a bit (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). Ninjutsu is staying, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu because that's where it originated and it’s a hallmark to that,” an experienced game designer stated. “However in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability will be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is among four special cards with unique artwork created 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 card, which lets you play cards that aren't in your deck, so was I. Yet according to the developers, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, here are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from this set:

As per the company’s existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they were careful to make sure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for over a year and we were aware it would be in standard and what other sets were going to 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.”

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

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

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just one precon, but it includes six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your Commander based on how you pair them (five of the cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that lets you start with two commanders in the command zone rather than just one). Take a look for yourself:

This Commander deck is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to popularity. Wizards told that it contains 43 new cards in total, which translates to an additional 37 TMNT-themed cards in addition to the six legendary commanders pictured above. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon comes with 37 lands.)

What will the Turtles version of the iconic Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and see.

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

Typically, Wizards is offering a bundle. This one is priced at $69.99 and contains the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Regular basic lands
• Two helper cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it comes in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Every Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• Two Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s essentially a reprinted older card with brand-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed one for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter adding toppings onto a pizza slice. In total, there are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

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

Draft Night

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

• Twelve Standard Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• One Collector Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular land cards (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Regular token cards
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting this expansion)

Turtle Team-Up

Lastly, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic products specifically for new players. Here, the cooperative set is a unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend team up against a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The concept here that each Boss card gives special abilities to the creatures contained in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts an additional card each turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
