Explore 29 New Cards from Magic's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Expansion (Featuring a Commander-Style Deck!)

Everyone's beloved pizza-loving heroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's publisher, the game's creators, unveiled a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion during a exclusive event hosted at New York Comic Con. 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 everything revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, including key context. Everything mentioned below launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27.

Magic x TMNT: Core Set Reveals

Before we get into the many special decks and collections available, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Play boosters for the expansion are set at $6.99 per pack, while premium boosters should run $37.99 per pack.

Let's unpack a few surprising features. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu, where gamers can cheat big creatures onto the game field when an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference in this case is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells too. Wizards also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a bit (Sneak counts as casting, unlike the older mechanic). Ninjutsu isn't going away, but it's more likely players will encounter the new mechanic in upcoming expansions from now on.

Should we were to return to Kamigawa, it’s possible we’d use the original ability because that plane is it originated and it’s a hallmark to that,” an experienced game designer explained. “However on other planes, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be in standard, it's more likely we’ll use Sneak.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with special art created exclusively for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator the co-creator.

Additionally, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing cards that aren't in your main deck, so was I. But as per the developers, it’s now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

In any case, here are the extremely bizarre land cards with full art from the TMNT set:

As per the company’s existing guidelines, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers state they took care to ensure the cards and gameplay elements meshed well with current Standard expansions like Edge of Eternities.

“I headed the design for 15 months and we knew it would be Standard-legal and which sets would be near it in Standard,” the designer commented. “We designed to make sure that they work well with some of those sets like Edge of Eternities.”

As an instance, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a Izzet strategy focused on artifact cards.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for Spider-Man and the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender expansions, the company is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only a single precon, but it does come with six different legendary creatures that can serve as your commander depending on how you combine them (five of the cards include a unique partner ability called “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command zone rather than only one). Take a look for yourself:

This Commander precon is set at $69.99, though the price may rise due to popularity. Wizards told that it includes 43 new cards altogether, which means an additional 37 TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders pictured earlier. (Calculating roughly, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon comes with 37 lands.)

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

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• Nine Play Boosters
• 15 Foil basic lands
• Fifteen Regular basic lands
• 2 Reference cards
• One Foil promotional card
• 1 Large spindown life counter
• One storage box

Pizza Bundle

This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, primarily because it is packaged in a box resembling a pizza box. Each Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

• 9 Standard Boosters
• 1 Collector Booster
• Twenty-five Regular pizza-themed lands
• 5 Foil pizza-themed lands
• Two Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• One Oversized life tracker
• One storage box

For those curious what a “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card with brand-new TMNT artwork. The team revealed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master Splinter sprinkling black licorice pieces on a pizza slice. There are six distinct pizza promos available.

This special bundle launches a few weeks after the core set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

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

• 12 Play Boosters (ideal for four people to draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (also known as, the reward for coming in first)
• Ninety Regular land cards (to build your draft deck)
• 10 Regular token cards
• One Draft insert (a single-page guide to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to create Magic products specifically for new players. In this case, the cooperative set is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend team up to face a “Boss” enemy deck that plays automatically.

The concept here that every Boss card grants unique powers to the creature cards included in the Boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays one other card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
