Explore Twenty-Nine Latest Game Cards from Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Set (Including a Commander-Style Deck!)

The world's beloved pizza-eating heroes are making their way to the popular trading card game. The well-known trading card game's company, Wizards of the Coast, announced a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a exclusive panel held at New York Comic Con. Could this be a radical addition or yet another crossover cash grab? Let you be the judge.

Take a look here at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, including some useful context. Everything mentioned below releases on March 6, 2026, with one exception — a special Pizza Bundle arrives a couple of weeks after on March 27th.

Magic x TMNT: Main Set Cards

Before we get into all the various special decks and collections on offer, let’s take a look at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion unveiled by the developers. Play boosters for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per pack.

Let’s explore a few surprising features. First, a new gameplay mechanic called Sneak Attack, which is a riff on the already established Ninjutsu ability, where players can play big creatures into the battlefield when an attacker isn’t blocked. The key change in this case is that Sneak can affect spells that aren’t creatures as well. Wizards also used this chance to clean up the ability a little (Sneak is treated as playing a spell, as opposed to the older mechanic). The original ability is staying, but it's more likely we'll see Sneak in upcoming expansions moving forward.

Should we go back to Kamigawa, we might use Ninjutsu since that's where it originated and it is iconic to that,” an experienced game designer explained. “However in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and Sneak is what's going to be Standard-legal, it's more likely we’ll use Sneak.”

Another version of the leader Turtle, Sewer Samurai card, is among four special cards with unique artwork created exclusively for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original artist the co-creator.

Oh, and, if you're shocked by the card text on Turtles Forever card, which lets you play game cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. But as per the developers, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.

Anyway, here are the extremely bizarre full-art lands from the TMNT set:

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

“I headed the design for 15 months and we were aware it would be in standard and which sets were going to be alongside it in Standard,” a lead designer says. “We designed to ensure that there's synergy with some of those sets including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red archetype focused on artifacts.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

After declining to create any pre-constructed Commander decks for the Spider-Man set and the forthcoming 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 does come with six distinct legendary cards who could work as your commander depending on how you combine them (five cards have a special partner ability named “Character Select” that lets you start with two of them in the command zone instead of just one). Take a look below:

This Commander precon is set at $69.99, though the price may rise based on popularity. Sources indicated that it contains 43 brand-new cards altogether, which means an additional 37 Turtle-themed game cards besides the six legendary creatures shown above. (Calculating roughly, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the deck comes with 37 land cards.)

How will the Turtles version of Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and find out.

TMNT Bundle (Standard Edition)

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

• Nine Standard Boosters
• Fifteen Traditional foil basic lands
• 15 Regular land cards
• 2 helper cards
• 1 Traditional foil promotional card
• One Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

Pizza Bundle

Here’s a special idea for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it comes in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Every pizza-themed bundle is priced at $99.99 and comes with the following:

• Nine Standard Boosters
• One Collector Booster
• 25 Non-foil pizza lands
• 5 Foil pizza basic lands
• 2 Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
• 2 Reference cards
• 1 Oversized life tracker
• 1 Card-storage box

If you’re wondering about the “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprinted older card with all-new TMNT artwork. Wizards showed one for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual depicting Splinter adding black licorice pieces on a pizza. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards in total.

The Pizza Bundle launches a few weeks after the main set on March 27, 2026.

Draft Bundle

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

• 12 Standard Boosters (ideal for a group of four to play draft)
• 1 Collector Booster (also known as, the prize for winning)
• Ninety Non-foil land cards (for building your deck)
• Ten Non-foil token cards
• 1 drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Finally, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its ongoing effort to develop Magic game products specifically for beginners. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a unique product of prebuilt decks that allow two players join forces against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The general idea is that every Boss card gives special abilities to the creature cards contained in the boss deck. The Boss automatically plays one other card each turn, and players begin battling {one Boss|
