The world's favorite pizza-loving heroes are arriving 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 expansion at a exclusive event hosted at New York Comic Con. Could this be a radical addition or simply another crossover cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Check out below at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with some useful background. All items listed here releases on March 6, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into all the various special decks and bundles on offer, we’ll examine at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising details. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, where players can cheat big creatures onto the game field when an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference here is that Sneak can affect spells that aren’t creatures as well. The designers also used this chance to refine the mechanic a little (It is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are players will encounter the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever go back to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use Ninjutsu since that plane is it was developed and it is iconic to that,” an experienced game designer explained. “But in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with unique artwork created specifically for the expansion by TMNT original artist the co-creator.

Additionally, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your deck, many players were. Yet according to Wizards, it’s now a official card in all formats of Magic.

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

As per the company’s current policy, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. Developers say they were careful to make sure the new cards and mechanics meshed well with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we were aware it was going to be Standard-legal and which sets would be alongside it in Standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to make sure that there's synergy with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

For example, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red strategy focused on artifact cards.

“They mesh together to provide the components for a enjoyable Standard-legal deck,” he added.

Preconstructed Commander: Turtle Power

After declining to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six different legendary creatures who could work as your commander based on how you combine them (five cards include a unique Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that allows starting with two of them in the command zone instead of just one). Take a look below:

The Turtle Power precon is set at $69.99, though that could easily go up due to demand. Sources told that it contains 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an extra thirty-seven Turtle-themed cards in addition to the six legendary creatures shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, that also means about 20 reprints if we estimate the deck includes 37 lands.)

What will the Turtles version of Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and see.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

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

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Foil basic lands
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• Two Reference cards
• One Foil promo card
• One Oversized life tracker
• One storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza box. Each Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• Two helper cards
• 1 Large life tracker
• 1 storage box

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

The Pizza 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-player draft and is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• Twelve Play Boosters (the perfect amount four people to draft)
• 1 Premium Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
• 90 Non-foil land cards (to build your draft deck)
• Ten Regular token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a one-sheet guide to drafting this expansion)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to create Magic game products specifically for new players. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of decks that let you and a friend team up against a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.

The concept here that each Boss card grants unique powers to the creature cards contained in the Boss deck. The Boss automatically plays one other card per turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
