Everyone's beloved pizza-loving superheroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a exclusive panel held at NYCC. Is this a radical new set or yet another crossover cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Check out below at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including some useful background. All items listed below releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before diving into the many special decks and collections available, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the set are priced at $6.99 each, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a couple of shell-shocking details. To begin, there's a new mechanic called Sneak, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu, where gamers can play big creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacking creature goes unblocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells too. The designers also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a little (Sneak counts as casting, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, 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 originated and it is iconic of that world,” a senior game designer stated. “However in other settings, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it's more likely that we'd use the updated version.”

That second variant of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is among four cards with unique artwork designed specifically for the expansion by TMNT original artist Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which allows playing cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. Yet as per Wizards, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:

Following Wizards of the Coast's existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. The designers say they took care to make sure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with other Standard sets like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the design for 15 months and we knew it would be Standard-legal and which sets were going to be near it in Standard,” a lead designer commented. “We designed to ensure that there's synergy with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet archetype built around artifacts.

“They combine to offer the pieces for a fun Standard deck,” he added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set 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 includes six different legendary cards who could work as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command area instead of only one). Check them out below:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up based on popularity. Sources told that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an extra 37 Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured above. (Calculating roughly, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon comes with 37 lands.)

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

Standard Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, Wizards is offering a collection. This one costs $69.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 15 Foil land cards
• Fifteen Non-foil land cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• One Large life tracker
• 1 storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it comes in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Each pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• Five Foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil pizza bundle promotional cards
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• One storage box

For those curious about the “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprint of an older card with brand-new Turtle-themed artwork. The team showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza slice. In total, there are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

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

Draft Bundle

This unique product is made for a four-player draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (aka, the reward for coming in first)
• 90 Regular basic lands (to build your deck)
• Ten Non-foil token cards
• 1 Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards 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, the cooperative set is a special set of prebuilt decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The concept is that each Boss card grants special abilities to the creature cards included in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays one other card per turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
