The world's beloved pizza-eating heroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a special panel hosted at NYCC. Could this be a exciting new set or yet another crossover cash grab? We'll let you be the judge.

Check out here at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful background. Everything listed below launches on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into the many special decks and collections on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are set at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few surprising details. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu, where players can cheat powerful creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can apply to non-creature spells as well. Wizards also took the opportunity to refine the ability a bit (Sneak counts as casting, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability isn't going away, but chances are we'll see Sneak in future sets from now on.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu because that plane is it was developed and it is iconic to that,” a senior game designer explained. “But in other settings, because the mechanics are smoother and the new ability will be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use the updated version.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is one of four special cards with special art created exclusively for the set by TMNT co-creator the co-creator.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play cards that aren't in your deck, so was I. But as per the developers, that's now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from the TMNT set:

Following the company’s existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they took care to make sure the cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for over a year and we were aware it was going to be Standard-legal and what other sets were going to be near it in standard,” the designer commented. “We designed to ensure that they work well with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

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

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five of the cards have a special 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:

This Commander precon is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up due to popularity. Wizards told that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which means an extra 37 Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders shown earlier. (Doing some rough math, this suggests approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the precon includes 37 land cards.)

How will the Turtles version of Sol Ring look like? Fans must wait and find out.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

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

• Nine Play Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Non-foil land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Traditional foil promo card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• One 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 box. Every Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• One storage box

If you’re wondering what a “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s basically a reprinted older card with all-new TMNT artwork. Wizards revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. 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 Night

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

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

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic products specifically for beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The general idea is that every Boss card gives unique powers to the creature cards contained in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays an additional card each turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
