Everyone's favorite pizza-eating superheroes are arriving to Magic: The Gathering. The popular TCG's company, the game's creators, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a special event held at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or yet another crossover cash grab? Let you be the judge.

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

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before we get into the many unique products and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the expansion are priced at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few shell-shocking features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, in which gamers can cheat big creatures onto the game field whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The key change in this case is that Sneak can affect spells that aren’t creatures as well. Wizards also used this chance to refine the mechanic a little (Sneak counts as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see the new mechanic in upcoming expansions from now on.

“If we ever were to return to Kamigawa, we might use Ninjutsu since that's where it originated and it’s a hallmark of that world,” a senior game designer explained. “However in other settings, since the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork created exclusively for the expansion by TMNT original artist the co-creator.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play cards outside of your main deck, many players were. Yet according to Wizards, that's now a official 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, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they took care to ensure the cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for over a year and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and what other sets were going to be alongside it in Standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that there's synergy with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype built around artifact cards.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it includes six distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command zone rather than only one). Take a look for yourself:

The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, though the price may rise due to demand. Wizards told that it includes 43 brand-new cards in total, which translates to an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures shown above. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck includes 37 land cards.)

What will the TMNT edition of Sol Ring appear? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, the company is selling a bundle. This one is priced at $69.99 and includes the listed items:

• 9 Play Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil land cards
• 15 Regular land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• One Large life tracker
• 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 a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Every Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• 1 Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Large life tracker
• One Card-storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s essentially a reprinted older card featuring all-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team revealed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter sprinkling toppings on a pizza slice. There are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

This special bundle releases a couple of weeks later than the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Night

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

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (aka, the prize for winning)
• Ninety Non-foil basic lands (for building your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic game products specifically for beginners. Here, the cooperative set is a special set of decks that allow two players join forces to face a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The concept here that each Boss card grants unique powers to the creatures contained in the boss deck. The Boss automatically plays one other card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
