Check out Twenty-Nine Latest Game Cards from Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Set (Featuring a Commander-Style Precon Deck!)

The world's beloved pizza-eating superheroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's publisher, the game's creators, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a exclusive panel hosted at NYCC. Is this a exciting addition or yet another crossover cash grab? Let you decide.

Take a look here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including key background. All items mentioned here releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before we get into all the various special decks and collections available, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by the developers. Play boosters for the expansion are set at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a few shell-shocking features. First, there's a new mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu ability, in which players can play powerful creatures into the game field whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference here is that Sneak can apply to spells that aren’t creatures too. The designers also used this chance to refine the ability a little (Sneak is treated as casting, as opposed to the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are we'll see Sneak in future sets moving forward.

Should we were to return to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu because that's where it originated and it’s a hallmark of that world,” an experienced game designer explained. “However on other planes, since the mechanics are smoother and the new ability will be in standard, it’s probable that we'd use Sneak.”

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

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. Yet according to the developers, that's now a legal card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:

As per Wizards of the Coast's existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. The designers state they took care to ensure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for over a year and we knew it was going to be Standard-legal and which sets would be alongside it in standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to ensure that they work well with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

For example, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet archetype built around artifacts.

“They mesh together to provide the pieces for a enjoyable Standard deck,” he says.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it includes six distinct legendary cards who could work as your Commander based on how you pair them (five cards include a unique partner ability named “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command zone rather than just one). Check them out below:

The Turtle Power precon is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to popularity. Wizards indicated that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an extra 37 Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means about 20 reprints if we estimate the precon includes 37 land cards.)

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

Standard Bundle (Regular)

Typically, the company is offering a collection. It costs $69.99 and contains the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Non-foil basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it is packaged in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Every Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• 25 Regular pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

If you’re wondering what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with brand-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team showed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter adding toppings on a pizza. There are six distinct pizza promos available.

This special bundle launches a few weeks after the main set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

This unique product is made for a four-person draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Standard Boosters (the perfect amount four people to draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the prize for coming in first)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (to build your draft deck)
• 10 Regular double-sided tokens
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to develop Magic products specifically for beginners. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of prebuilt decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The concept is that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures included in the Boss deck. The Boss automatically plays an additional card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
