Discover 29 New Cards from Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Set (Including a Commander-Style Precon Deck!)

Everyone's favorite pizza-eating heroes are making their way to Magic: The Gathering. The popular TCG's publisher, Wizards of the Coast, announced a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a exclusive panel hosted at New York Comic Con. Could this be a exciting new set or simply another crossover cash grab? 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 context. Everything mentioned here releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

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

Let's unpack a few shell-shocking features. To begin, there's a new mechanic called Sneak Attack, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, in which gamers can cheat big creatures into the game field whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference here is that this new ability can apply to spells that aren’t creatures too. Wizards also used this chance to clean up the mechanic a little (Sneak counts as casting, unlike Ninjutsu). The original ability 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, it’s possible we’d use the original ability since that's where it was developed and it’s a hallmark to that,” a senior game designer explained. “But on other planes, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it’s probable that we'd use the updated version.”

Another version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is one of four special cards with unique artwork created specifically for the expansion by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist Kevin Eastman.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play cards outside of your main deck, so was I. But as per the developers, that's now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

Anyway, here are the extremely bizarre land cards with full art from the TMNT set:

As per the company’s existing guidelines, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard format. The designers state they took care to ensure the cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for over a year 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 including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red archetype built around artifact cards.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to design any Commander precons for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time it’s just one precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you pair them (five of the cards have a special Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command zone instead of only one). Take a look for yourself:

This Commander deck is priced at $69.99, though that could easily go up due to popularity. Wizards indicated that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an extra 37 Turtle-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary creatures pictured above. (Doing some rough math, this suggests approximately 20 reprinted cards if we assume the deck includes 37 land cards.)

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

Standard Bundle (Standard Edition)

Typically, Wizards is selling a collection. This one costs $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Regular basic lands
• Two helper cards
• One Traditional foil promo card
• 1 Large life tracker
• One storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, mostly in that it comes in a box resembling a pizza box. Every pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• One Premium Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Traditional foil pizza bundle promo cards
• 2 helper cards
• One Oversized spindown life counter
• One Card-storage box

For those curious about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” means, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring brand-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter sprinkling toppings onto a pizza. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

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 is priced at $119.99. It includes:

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for four people to draft)
• One Collector Booster (also known as, the reward for winning)
• Ninety Regular basic lands (for building your draft deck)
• 10 Non-foil token cards
• One Draft insert (a one-sheet instruction sheet to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to create Magic game products specifically for new players. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of prebuilt decks that allow two players team up against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The concept is that every Boss card grants unique powers to the creature cards contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts an additional card each turn, and you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
