Everyone's favorite pizza-eating heroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular trading card game's publisher, the game's creators, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a exclusive panel hosted at NYCC. Is this a exciting addition or yet another crossover marketing move? Let you be the judge.

Check out here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including key context. Everything listed here launches on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before diving into the many unique products and bundles available, let’s take a look at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Play boosters for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising details. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak Attack, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu ability, in which gamers can play big creatures onto the game field when an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The key change in this case is that Sneak can apply to spells that aren’t creatures as well. Wizards also used this chance to clean up the ability a bit (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to Ninjutsu). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in upcoming expansions moving forward.

“If we ever go back to the Kamigawa plane, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu since that plane is it was developed and it’s a hallmark to that,” a senior designer stated. “However in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak is what's going to 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 expansion by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. Yet as per Wizards, it’s now a official card in every format of Magic.

In any case, here are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from this set:

As per the company’s current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers state they took care to ensure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for over a year and we knew it was going to be in standard and which sets were going to be near it in standard,” the designer commented. “Our goal was to make sure that there's synergy with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red strategy built around artifacts.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just a single precon, but it does come with six different 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 of them in the command zone instead of only one). Check them out for yourself:

The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on popularity. Wizards indicated that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which means an additional 37 TMNT-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means about 20 reprints if we estimate the precon comes with 37 lands.)

How will the TMNT edition of Sol Ring look like? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

As per usual, Wizards is selling a collection. It costs $69.99 and includes the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Regular land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Foil promo card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

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

• Nine Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• 5 Traditional foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• One Large spindown life counter
• One storage box

If you’re wondering what a “pizza bundle promo” means, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring brand-new TMNT artwork. The team showed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter adding toppings onto a pizza. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

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

Draft Night

This unique product is designed for a four-person draft and is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount four people to play draft)
• One Premium Booster (also known as, the reward for coming in first)
• 90 Non-foil land cards (for building your draft deck)
• 10 Non-foil token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to create Magic game products aimed at beginners. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The general idea here that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures contained in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays an additional card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
