Everyone's beloved pizza-loving heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a exclusive event held at NYCC. Could this be a radical new set or simply another crossover marketing move? We'll let you be the judge.

Take a look here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including key background. Everything listed here releases on March 6th, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before diving into the many special decks and bundles on offer, let’s take a look at all the cards from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 each, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a couple of shell-shocking details. To begin, there's a new mechanic called Sneak, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu ability, in which gamers can cheat big creatures into the battlefield whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference in this case is that this new ability can apply to non-creature spells as well. Wizards also used this chance to clean up the ability a little (It counts as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely we'll see the new mechanic in future sets moving forward.

Should we go back to Kamigawa, we might use the original ability since that plane is it originated and it is iconic of that world,” a senior game designer explained. “But in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be in standard, it's more likely that we'd use Sneak.”

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

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards that aren't in your deck, so was I. But according to the developers, it’s now a official card in every format of Magic.

In any case, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:

As per the company’s current policy, these cards are all legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they took care to make sure the cards and mechanics meshed well with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for 15 months and we knew it was going to be in standard and which sets were going to be alongside it in standard,” a lead designer says. “We designed 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 include a Izzet strategy focused on artifacts.

“They combine to offer the components for a fun Standard deck,” the designer added.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it includes six different legendary creatures who could work as your commander based on how you combine them (five of the cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command zone instead of only one). Check them out below:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, though the price may rise due to popularity. Wizards indicated that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an extra 37 Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures shown earlier. (Calculating roughly, this suggests about 20 reprints if we assume the precon includes 37 land cards.)

How will the TMNT version of the iconic Sol Ring look like? Fans must wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

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

• 9 Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Foil land cards
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• Two helper cards
• One Traditional foil promotional card
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
• 1 storage box

Pizza Bundle

Here’s a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it comes in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Each Pizza Bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Non-foil pizza-themed lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Large spindown life counter
• 1 Card-storage box

If you’re wondering about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s essentially a reprinted older card with all-new Turtle-themed art. Wizards revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza slice. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

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

Draft Night

This special bundle is made for a four-person draft and is priced at $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Play Boosters (ideal for four people to draft)
• One Collector Booster (also known as, the prize for winning)
• 90 Non-foil land cards (for building your deck)
• Ten Regular token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting this expansion)

Turtle Team-Up

Finally, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic game products aimed at beginners. In this case, the cooperative set is a special set of decks that let you and a friend team up to face a “Boss” enemy deck that pilots itself.

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