The world's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known TCG's company, the game's creators, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a special panel hosted at NYCC. Is this a exciting new set or simply another crossover marketing move? Let you decide.

Take a look here at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including some useful background. All items listed here launches on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before we get into the many unique products and collections on offer, let’s take a look at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the set are set at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few surprising details. First, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu, in which gamers can play big creatures into the game field when an attacking creature goes unblocked. The key change here is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells too. The designers also used this chance to refine the mechanic a bit (It is treated as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu is staying, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in future sets moving forward.

Should we were to return to the Kamigawa plane, we might use Ninjutsu since that plane is it originated and it’s a hallmark of that world,” an experienced designer explained. “But on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use Sneak.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is one of four special cards with special art designed specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist Kevin Eastman.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play game cards outside of your deck, so was I. Yet according to Wizards, it’s now a official card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, below are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from the TMNT set:

As per the company’s current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they were careful to ensure the new cards and gameplay elements meshed well with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for over a year and we knew it would be in standard and which sets were going to be near it in standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that they work well with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype focused on artifacts.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six different legendary cards who could work as your Commander based on how you pair them (five cards include a unique partner ability called “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command area instead of just one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power deck is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to popularity. Wizards told that it includes 43 new cards in total, which translates to an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means about 20 reprints if we assume the deck includes 37 land cards.)

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

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

As per usual, Wizards is offering a bundle. This one is priced at $69.99 and includes the listed items:

• 9 Play Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil land cards
• 15 Non-foil land cards
• Two helper cards
• One Traditional foil promo card
• One Large life tracker
• One Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it is packaged in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Each Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with all-new Turtle-themed art. Wizards showed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling toppings on a pizza. There are six distinct pizza promos in total.

The Pizza Bundle launches a few weeks after the main set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

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

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for four people to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (aka, the reward for coming in first)
• 90 Regular land cards (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Non-foil token cards
• One drafting guide (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting this expansion)

Turtle Team-Up

Lastly, the developers are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic game products aimed at new players. Here, the cooperative set is a unique product of decks that allow two players join forces to face a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

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