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 collaboration during a special panel hosted at NYCC. Is this a radical addition or yet another crossover marketing move? Let you be the judge.

Check out here at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including key background. Everything mentioned here launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many special decks and collections on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Play boosters for the set are set at $6.99 each, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising features. First, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, in which players can cheat powerful creatures onto the battlefield when an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that this new ability can apply to spells that aren’t creatures as well. Wizards also took the opportunity to refine the ability a little (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but chances are we'll see Sneak in upcoming expansions from now on.

Should we go back to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability since that plane is it was developed and it’s a hallmark of that world,” an experienced game designer stated. “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 Sneak.”

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

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards outside of your deck, many players were. But according to the developers, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

In any case, here are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:

Following the company’s current policy, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers state they were careful to ensure the cards and mechanics worked smoothly with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for 15 months and we were aware it was going to 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 some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype focused on artifacts.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

Following a decision to design any Commander precons for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it includes six distinct legendary creatures who could work as your Commander based on how you pair them (five cards include a unique partner ability called “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area rather than only one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, though the price may rise due to demand. Sources indicated that it includes 43 new cards in total, which translates to an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders shown above. (Calculating roughly, this suggests approximately 20 reprints if we assume the precon comes with 37 land cards.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

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

• 9 Play Boosters
• 15 Foil basic lands
• 15 Regular land cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Each pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• Nine Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• 5 Foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Large life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

For those curious about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s essentially a reprinted older card featuring all-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team showed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

This special bundle releases a few weeks after the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

This special bundle is made for a four-person draft and is priced at $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Standard Boosters (ideal for a group of four to play draft)
• One Collector Booster (aka, the reward for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular land cards (to build your deck)
• 10 Non-foil token cards
• One Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic products aimed at new players. In this case, the cooperative set is a unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend team up against a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

The general idea is that each Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures included in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card per turn, and you’ll start off battling {one Boss|
