The world's favorite pizza-eating superheroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular TCG's company, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a exclusive event held at New York Comic Con. Is this a exciting new set or simply another crossover marketing move? Let you be the judge.

Take a look below at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including some useful context. Everything mentioned here releases on March 6, 2026, except for one item — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before diving into the many special decks and collections on offer, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by the developers. Play boosters for the set are set at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few surprising details. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, in which players can play big creatures onto the game field whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells too. The designers also used this chance to refine the ability a little (Sneak is treated as casting, unlike the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in upcoming expansions moving forward.

“If we ever go back to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu because that plane is it originated and it is iconic of that world,” a senior game designer stated. “However in other settings, since the rules are cleaner and Sneak will be Standard-legal, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is among four cards with special art designed specifically for the set 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 game 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, here are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:

Following Wizards of the Coast's existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers state they were careful to ensure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for over a year and we knew it would be in standard and which sets would be alongside it in standard,” a lead designer commented. “Our goal was to make sure that there's synergy with certain expansions like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red strategy focused on artifact cards.

“They combine to provide the components for a fun Standard deck,” the designer added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it includes six different legendary creatures who could work as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five cards include a unique partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command area instead of only one). Check them out for yourself:

This Commander precon is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on popularity. Wizards told that it contains 43 brand-new cards in total, which translates to an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, this suggests approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck includes 37 land cards.)

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

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil land cards
• Fifteen Regular land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Foil promo card
• One Large spindown life counter
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Each pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and includes the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• Five Foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Large life tracker
• One Card-storage box

For those curious what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s basically a reprint of an older card with brand-new Turtle-themed art. The team revealed one for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter adding toppings onto a pizza. There are six distinct pizza promos available.

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

Draft Night

This unique product is made for a four-person draft and costs $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount four people to play draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (also known as, the prize for coming in first)
• 90 Non-foil basic lands (for building your draft deck)
• Ten Non-foil double-sided tokens
• 1 Draft insert (a one-sheet guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, the developers are introducing a new concept 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 unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces against a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

The concept here that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creatures included in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays one other card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
