Everyone's beloved pizza-eating superheroes are coming to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's publisher, the game's creators, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a special event held at NYCC. Could this be a radical new set or simply another Universes Beyond cash grab? Let you decide.

Check out below at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with some useful background. All items listed here launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many unique products and bundles available, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Play boosters for the expansion are priced at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a few shell-shocking features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak Attack, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, in which players can cheat powerful creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can apply to non-creature spells as well. Wizards also took the opportunity to clean up the ability a little (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 were to return to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use the original ability because that's where it was developed and it is iconic to that,” an experienced game designer stated. “But on other planes, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is among four special cards with special art created specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards outside of your deck, so was I. But as per the developers, that's now a legal card in every format of Magic.

In any case, here are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from this set:

As per the company’s current policy, all these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they were careful to make sure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for over a year and we were aware it was going to be Standard-legal and which sets would be near it in Standard,” the designer says. “We designed to ensure that there's synergy with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red archetype built around artifacts.

“They combine to offer the pieces for a fun 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 forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary cards who could work as your Commander based on how you combine them (five of the cards include a unique partner ability named “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command zone rather than only one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on demand. Wizards indicated that it includes 43 brand-new cards in total, which means an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means about 20 reprints if we assume the deck comes with 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, the company is selling a collection. This one costs $69.99 and contains the following:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Regular land cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Foil promo card
• One Large life tracker
• 1 storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it comes in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Each pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• Nine Play Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• Five Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

If you’re wondering what a “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s basically a reprinted older card featuring brand-new Turtle-themed art. Wizards revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza. In total, there are six different pizza promos in total.

The Pizza Bundle releases a few weeks after the main set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

This special bundle is made for a four-player draft and costs $119.99. It includes:

• Twelve Standard Boosters (ideal for four people to play draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• Ninety Regular basic lands (for building your draft deck)
• 10 Non-foil double-sided tokens
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page instruction sheet 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 create Magic products aimed at new players. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend team up to face a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

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