The world's beloved pizza-loving heroes are coming to Magic: The Gathering. The well-known TCG's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a exclusive panel hosted at NYCC. Could this be a radical addition or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you be the judge.

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

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before diving into the many special decks and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a few shell-shocking features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu, where gamers can cheat powerful creatures onto the battlefield whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can apply to spells that aren’t creatures too. The designers also used this chance to clean up the mechanic a bit (Sneak counts as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). The original ability isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use the original ability since that plane is it was developed and it is iconic to that,” an experienced designer explained. “However in other settings, since the rules are cleaner and Sneak will be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use the updated version.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork designed exclusively for the expansion by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which allows playing cards outside of your deck, so was I. Yet according to the developers, that's now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, here are the highly unusual 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 format. Developers say they were careful to make sure the cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for over a year and we knew it would be Standard-legal and what other sets were going to be near it in Standard,” the designer says. “We designed to make sure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a Izzet strategy built around artifact cards.

“They combine to provide the components for a enjoyable Standard-legal deck,” he added.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, 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 who could work as your commander depending on how you combine them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command zone instead of only one). Check them out for yourself:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, although the price may rise based on demand. Sources indicated that it contains 43 brand-new cards altogether, which translates to an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed cards besides the six legendary commanders shown above. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprints if we assume the precon comes with 37 land cards.)

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

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, Wizards is selling a bundle. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil land cards
• Fifteen Non-foil basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Foil promotional card
• One Large life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza Bundle

Here’s a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it is packaged in what looks like a pizza box. Each pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza-themed lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Large spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

For those curious what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card featuring brand-new Turtle-themed art. Wizards revealed one for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. There are six different pizza promos 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-player draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Play Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (also known as, the reward for coming in first)
• 90 Non-foil land cards (to build your draft deck)
• 10 Non-foil token cards
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to create Magic game products aimed at new players. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

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