Everyone's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's company, the game's creators, revealed a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a special panel hosted at NYCC. Is this a exciting addition or yet another Universes Beyond cash grab? We'll let you decide.

Check out below at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful context. Everything mentioned here launches on March 6, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before we get into the many special decks and collections on offer, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the set are set at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few surprising features. First, there's a new mechanic named Sneak Attack, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu ability, in which players can cheat big creatures into the game field whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can apply to non-creature spells too. Wizards also took the opportunity to refine the ability a little (It counts as casting, unlike the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in future sets from now on.

“If we ever go back to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability because that plane is it was developed and it’s a hallmark to that,” a senior designer stated. “But in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable that we'd use Sneak.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork designed exclusively for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards outside of your deck, many players were. Yet as per the developers, that's now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

Anyway, below are the extremely bizarre land cards with full art from this set:

As per Wizards of the Coast's current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they took care to make sure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for 15 months and we knew it was going to be Standard-legal and which sets would be alongside 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 built around artifact cards.

“They combine to provide the pieces for a fun Standard deck,” he says.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to design 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. This time it’s just a single precon, but it does come with six different legendary cards that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five cards include a unique partner ability called “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command zone instead of only one). Take a look for yourself:

The Turtle Power precon is set at $69.99, though the price may rise based on popularity. Wizards told that it contains 43 new cards in total, which translates to an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders pictured above. (Calculating roughly, that also means about 20 reprints if we assume the deck comes with 37 lands.)

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

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, the company is offering a bundle. This one costs $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Traditional foil promotional 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 delivery box. Each Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

• 9 Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza-themed lands
• Five Foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with all-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza. In total, 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 Bundle

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

• 12 Standard Boosters (ideal for four people to draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular land cards (for building your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• One Draft insert (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to create Magic game products specifically for new players. Here, the cooperative set is a unique product of prebuilt decks that allow two players team up against a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

The concept here that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures contained in the Boss deck. The Boss automatically casts an additional card per turn, and you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
