Check out 29 Fresh Cards from Magic: The Gathering's TMNT Set (Featuring a Commander Deck!)
The world's favorite pizza-eating superheroes are arriving to Magic: The Gathering. The well-known trading card game's company, the game's creators, unveiled a highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration during a exclusive event hosted at New York Comic Con. Could this be a radical new set or yet another Universes Beyond marketing move? Let you decide.
Take a look here at all the details revealed from the Magic x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, along with some useful background. Everything listed below launches on March 6th, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle arrives a few weeks later on March 27.
Magic x TMNT: Core Set Reveals
Before diving into the many unique products and bundles available, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters should run $37.99 per booster.
Let’s explore a few shell-shocking features. To begin, there's a new mechanic named Sneak, inspired by the pre-existing Ninjutsu ability, in which gamers can cheat big creatures onto the battlefield whenever an attacker isn’t blocked. The big difference here is that this new ability can affect non-creature spells as well. The designers also used this chance to refine the mechanic a little (Sneak is treated as casting, unlike the older mechanic). The original ability is staying, but chances are we'll see the new mechanic in upcoming expansions from now on.
Should we were to return to Kamigawa, we might use Ninjutsu since that plane is it was developed and it is iconic to that,” an experienced designer explained. “However in other settings, because the rules are cleaner and the new ability will be in standard, it's more likely we’ll use the updated version.”
That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is among four special cards with unique artwork designed exclusively for the expansion by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator the co-creator.
Oh, and, if you're shocked by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which allows playing game cards outside of your main deck, many players were. Yet according to the developers, that's now a official card in every format of Magic.
In any case, below are the highly unusual land cards with full art from the TMNT set:
Following Wizards of the Coast's current policy, these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. Developers say they were careful to ensure the cards and mechanics worked smoothly with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.
“I headed the design for 15 months and we knew it would be in standard and which sets would be alongside it in Standard,” the designer says. “Our goal was to ensure that they work well with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”
For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities feature a blue-red archetype built around artifacts.
“They mesh together to offer the components for a enjoyable Standard deck,” he added.
Commander Deck: Turtle Power
After declining to design any Commander precons for Spider-Man and the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaborations, Wizards is reversing course with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s only one precon, but it does come with six different legendary creatures who could work as your commander based on how you pair them (five cards include a unique Partner mechanic called “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command area instead of only one). Take a look for yourself:
The Turtle Power deck is priced at $69.99, although that could easily go up due to demand. Sources told that it includes 43 new cards in total, which means an extra thirty-seven TMNT-themed game cards besides the six legendary commanders pictured above. (Calculating roughly, this suggests approximately 20 reprints if we estimate the precon includes 37 lands.)
How will the Turtles version of the iconic Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and find out.
TMNT Bundle (Regular)
As per usual, Wizards is offering a collection. This one costs $69.99 and includes the following:
- 9 Standard Boosters
- 15 Foil land cards
- Fifteen Non-foil land cards
- 2 helper cards
- 1 Traditional foil promo card
- 1 Oversized life tracker
- 1 storage box
Pizza Bundle
This is a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, primarily because it comes in a box resembling a pizza box. Each Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and includes the following:
- 9 Play Boosters
- One Premium Booster
- 25 Non-foil pizza lands
- Five Traditional foil pizza basic lands
- Two Foil Pizza Bundle promotional cards
- 2 helper cards
- One Large life tracker
- 1 storage box
For those curious about the “Pizza Bundle promo card” is, it’s essentially a reprint of an older card featuring all-new TMNT art. The team showed an example for the well-known Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of master 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.
Draft Night
This special bundle is made for a four-player draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:
- Twelve Play Boosters (the perfect amount four people to draft)

- 90 Regular land cards (for building your deck)
- Ten Non-foil token cards
- 1 Draft insert (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting the set)
Cooperative Play Set
Finally, the developers are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as in line with its continued initiative to develop Magic products aimed at beginners. In this case, the cooperative set is a unique product of decks that let you and a friend team up against a “Boss” deck that plays automatically.
The concept is that each Boss card grants special abilities to the creatures contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically plays one other card per turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
