Everyone's beloved pizza-eating superheroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The popular trading card game's company, the game's creators, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a special event held at New York Comic Con. Is this a radical new set or yet another Universes Beyond cash grab? We'll let you be the judge.
Take a look below at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with key background. Everything mentioned below releases on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.
Before we get into all the various special decks and bundles available, let’s take a look at all the cards from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set unveiled by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the set are set at $6.99 each, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.
Let’s explore a few shell-shocking details. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, where players can cheat powerful creatures onto the game field whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells too. Wizards also used this chance to clean up the ability a little (It is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but chances are 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 originated and it is iconic of that world,” an experienced game designer explained. “However on other planes, since the rules are cleaner and the new ability is what's going to be Standard-legal, it’s probable we’ll use the updated version.”
That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork designed specifically for the set by TMNT co-creator the co-creator.
Additionally, should you be surprised by the card text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards that aren't in your deck, so was I. But as per the developers, that's now a legal card in every format of Magic.
Anyway, below 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 format. Developers say they took care to make sure the new cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.
“I headed the design for 15 months and we knew it would be Standard-legal and what other sets would be alongside 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 strategy focused on artifact cards.
“They combine to offer the pieces for a fun Standard deck,” he says.
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. This time it’s just a single precon, but it includes six different legendary creatures that can serve as your commander depending on how you combine them (five cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area instead of just one). Check them out below:
This Commander deck is set at $69.99, although that could easily go up based on popularity. Sources indicated that it includes 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an additional thirty-seven Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Doing some rough math, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the deck includes 37 lands.)
What will the TMNT version of the iconic Sol Ring look like? Fans must wait and see.
Typically, the company is selling a collection. This one is priced at $69.99 and includes the listed items:
This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it comes in what looks like a pizza box. Every pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and includes the following:
If you’re wondering what a “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring brand-new TMNT artwork. Wizards revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. There are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards available.
The Pizza Bundle launches a couple of weeks later than the core set on March 27, 2026.
This special bundle is designed for a four-player draft and costs $119.99. It includes:
Lastly, Wizards are introducing a new concept with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to create Magic game products specifically for beginners. In this case, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.
The concept is that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creatures included in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts one other card each turn, and you’ll start off fighting {one Boss|
