The world's favorite pizza-loving heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The popular TCG's publisher, the game's creators, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a exclusive event held at New York Comic Con. Could this be a exciting new set or simply another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you be the judge.
Take a look below at everything announced from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, along with some useful background. Everything listed here releases on March 6th, 2026, except for one item â a special Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.
Before we get into all the various unique products and collections available, weâll examine at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Standard booster packs for the set are priced at $6.99 each, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.
Let's unpack a few surprising features. First, there's a new mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu, in which gamers can play big creatures onto the battlefield when an attacker isnât blocked. The key change here is that this new ability can apply to non-creature spells too. The designers also used this chance to refine the ability a little (Sneak counts as playing a spell, unlike the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but chances are we'll see Sneak in upcoming expansions moving forward.
Should we go back to the Kamigawa plane, we might use Ninjutsu because that plane is it originated and it is iconic to that,â a senior designer stated. âHowever on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be in standard, itâs probable that we'd use Sneak.â
Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai, is one of four cards with special art designed exclusively for the expansion by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist the co-creator.
Additionally, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. But as per Wizards, itâs now a legal card in all formats of Magic.
In any case, below are the highly unusual full-art lands from this set:
As per the companyâs existing guidelines, these cards are all legal in Magicâs Standard play. Developers say they were careful to ensure the new cards and mechanics worked smoothly with other Standard sets such as Edge of Eternities.
âI led the development for 15 months and we knew it would be Standard-legal and which sets would be alongside it in Standard,â a lead designer commented. âOur goal was to ensure that there's synergy with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.â
As an instance, each of TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red archetype focused on artifact cards.
âThey mesh together to offer the components for a fun Standard deck,â he says.
After declining to design any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, Wizards is changing direction with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Itâs only a single precon, but it does come with six distinct legendary creatures that can serve as your Commander depending on how you combine them (five cards include a unique Partner mechanic called âCharacter Selectâ that lets you start with two commanders in the command area instead of just one). Check them out below:
This Commander deck is set at $69.99, though the price may rise based on demand. Sources indicated that it contains 43 new cards altogether, which translates to an additional thirty-seven Turtle-themed cards besides the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Doing some rough math, that also means about 20 reprints if we estimate the precon comes with 37 lands.)
How will the TMNT version of the iconic Sol Ring look like? Fans must wait and find out.
Typically, Wizards is selling a collection. It is priced at $69.99 and contains the listed items:
This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza delivery box. Every pizza-themed bundle costs $99.99 and includes the items below:
For those curious about the âPizza Bundle promo cardâ is, itâs essentially a reprinted older card featuring brand-new TMNT art. Wizards showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting master Splinter adding black licorice pieces onto a pizza slice. In total, there are six different Pizza Bundle promo cards available.
This special bundle launches a few weeks after the core set on March 27, 2026.
This unique product is made for a four-person draft and is priced at $119.99. That will get you:
Finally, the developers 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. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend join forces to face a âBossâ enemy deck that pilots itself.
The general idea here that each Boss card grants unique powers to the creatures included in the boss deck. The Boss automatically casts an additional card per turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
