Everyone's favorite pizza-eating heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's company, the game's creators, revealed a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration at a exclusive panel held at NYCC. Is this a exciting new set or simply another crossover marketing move? Let you decide.

Take a look below at everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including some useful context. Everything listed below releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before diving into the many unique products and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few shell-shocking details. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, where gamers can cheat big creatures onto the battlefield whenever an attacking creature isn’t blocked. The key change in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells too. Wizards also took the opportunity to refine the ability a bit (It counts as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). The original ability isn't going away, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in upcoming expansions moving forward.

Should we were to return to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu because that plane is it was developed and it is iconic of that world,” a senior game designer stated. “But in other settings, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable that we'd use Sneak.”

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

Additionally, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards that aren't in your deck, so was I. But as per Wizards, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

In any case, here are the highly unusual land cards with full art from this set:

Following the company’s current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers state they took care to ensure the cards and mechanics meshed well with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the development for over a year and we knew it was going to be Standard-legal and which sets were going to be near it in Standard,” a lead designer says. “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 include a Izzet archetype focused on artifact cards.

“They combine to provide the components for a enjoyable Standard-legal deck,” he says.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

Following a decision to create any Commander precons for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it includes six distinct legendary cards that can serve as your commander depending on how you pair them (five of the cards have a special partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command area rather than just one). Take a look below:

This Commander precon is priced at $69.99, although the price may rise due to demand. Sources told that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures shown earlier. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprints if we estimate the precon includes 37 land cards.)

What will the TMNT edition of Sol Ring appear? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

Typically, Wizards is offering a bundle. This one costs $69.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Regular basic lands
• Two Reference cards
• One Foil promotional card
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it comes in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Each Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the following:

• Nine Play Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• 25 Regular pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• 2 Foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 storage box

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s basically a reprinted older card with all-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces onto a pizza slice. In total, there are six distinct pizza promos in total.

The Pizza Bundle launches a couple of weeks later than the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

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

• Twelve Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to play draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (also known as, the reward for coming in first)
• 90 Regular basic lands (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Regular double-sided tokens
• One drafting guide (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products aimed at beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend join forces against a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

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