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 collaboration during a exclusive event hosted at NYCC. Could this be a exciting new set or yet another crossover cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Check out here at all the details announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful context. All items mentioned below releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle drops a few weeks later on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Cards

Before we get into the many special decks and collections available, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by Wizards. Standard booster packs for the set are set at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a couple of surprising features. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak Attack, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, in which gamers can play big creatures into the game field whenever an attacker goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can apply to spells that aren’t creatures too. Wizards also took the opportunity to refine the mechanic a little (It is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to Ninjutsu). The original ability is staying, but it's more likely players will encounter Sneak in upcoming expansions from now on.

Should we were to return to the Kamigawa plane, we might use the original ability because that plane is it originated and it is iconic to that,” a senior designer explained. “But in other settings, because the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it's more likely we’ll use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four cards with unique artwork created exclusively for the set by TMNT co-creator the co-creator.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing game cards outside of your deck, so was I. But according to Wizards, it’s now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

Anyway, below are the extremely bizarre 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 state they were careful to ensure the cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for 15 months and we knew it was going to be Standard-legal and which sets would be alongside it in standard,” the designer commented. “Our goal was to ensure that they work well with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

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

“They combine to provide the pieces for a enjoyable Standard-legal deck,” the designer added.

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

Following a decision to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it includes six different legendary creatures who could work as your commander depending on how you pair them (five of the cards include a unique partner ability named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area instead of only one). Take a look for yourself:

This Commander precon is priced at $69.99, though the price may rise based on popularity. Wizards told that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which means an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards in addition to the six legendary commanders shown earlier. (Doing some rough math, that also means approximately 20 reprinted cards if we estimate the deck comes with 37 lands.)

What will the Turtles edition of the iconic Sol Ring look like? Fans must wait and find out.

Standard Bundle (Regular)

As per usual, Wizards is selling a bundle. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the listed items:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• Two Reference cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• One Large life tracker
• One Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Each pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the items below:

• 9 Play Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza lands
• Five Traditional foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Traditional foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Oversized life tracker
• One Card-storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with all-new Turtle-themed artwork. Wizards revealed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter sprinkling toppings on a pizza slice. There are six distinct pizza promos in total.

This special bundle releases a few weeks after the main set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

This unique product is made for a four-player draft and is priced at $119.99. That will get you:

• Twelve Play Boosters (ideal for a group of four to play draft)
• One Collector Booster (also known as, the reward for winning)
• 90 Non-foil land cards (to build your draft deck)
• 10 Regular double-sided tokens
• One drafting guide (a single-page guide to drafting the set)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its ongoing effort to create Magic products specifically for new players. Here, the cooperative set is a unique product of prebuilt decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The general idea here that every Boss card grants special abilities to the creature cards contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays an additional card per turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
