Check out 29 Latest Game Cards from Magic: The Gathering's TMNT Expansion (Featuring a Commander Precon Deck!)

Everyone's beloved pizza-eating heroes are arriving to the popular trading card game. The popular TCG's company, the game's creators, unveiled a much-awaited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion at a exclusive event hosted at NYCC. Is this a exciting 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 collaboration, along with some useful background. Everything mentioned below releases on March 6, 2026, except for one item — the Pizza Bundle drops a couple of weeks after on March 27.

MTG x TMNT: Main Set Reveals

Before diving into all the various special decks and collections on offer, we’ll examine at the full lineup from the core Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that were revealed by the developers. Standard booster packs for the expansion are priced at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are priced at $37.99 per booster.

Let's unpack a few shell-shocking features. To begin, a new gameplay mechanic named Sneak Attack, inspired by the already established Ninjutsu ability, where players can play big creatures onto the game field when an attacking creature goes unblocked. The big difference in this case is that Sneak can affect non-creature spells too. The designers also took the opportunity to clean up the mechanic a bit (Sneak counts as casting, as opposed to Ninjutsu). The original ability isn't going away, but chances are players will encounter Sneak in future sets moving forward.

“If we ever were to return to Kamigawa, we might use Ninjutsu since that plane is it was developed and it’s a hallmark of that world,” a senior game designer explained. “However in other settings, since the mechanics are smoother and Sneak will be in standard, it’s probable that we'd use the updated version.”

That second variant of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, is one of four special cards with unique artwork created specifically for the set by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator the co-creator.

Oh, and, should you be surprised by the rules text on Turtles Forever, which lets you play cards that aren't in your main deck, many players were. Yet as per the developers, it’s now a legal card in all formats of Magic.

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

Following the company’s current policy, all these cards are fully legal in Magic’s Standard play. The designers say they took care to ensure the new cards and gameplay elements worked smoothly with current Standard expansions such as Edge of Eternities.

“I led the development for 15 months and we were aware it would be Standard-legal and which sets were going to be near it in Standard,” the designer commented. “We designed to ensure that there's synergy with certain expansions including Edge of Eternities.”

For example, both TMNT and Edge of Eternities include a blue-red strategy focused on artifact cards.

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

Commander Deck: Turtle Power!

After declining to create 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 a single precon, but it includes six distinct legendary creatures who could work as your commander based on how you pair them (five of the cards have a special Partner mechanic named “Character Select” that allows starting with two commanders in the command zone rather than just one). Check them out below:

The Turtle Power precon is priced at $69.99, though the price may rise due to demand. Sources told that it contains 43 brand-new cards in total, which translates to an additional thirty-seven TMNT-themed cards in addition to the six legendary creatures pictured earlier. (Doing some rough math, this suggests about 20 reprinted cards if we assume the precon comes with 37 lands.)

What will the TMNT version of Sol Ring appear? Fans must wait and see.

TMNT Bundle (Regular)

Typically, the company is selling a collection. This one is priced at $69.99 and contains the listed items:

  • 9 Standard Boosters
  • 15 Foil basic lands
  • 15 Regular basic lands
  • Two Reference cards
  • 1 Traditional foil promotional card
  • 1 Oversized spindown life counter
  • 1 Card-storage box

Pizza-Themed Bundle

Here’s a unique concept for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, mostly in that it comes in what looks like a pizza delivery box. Every Pizza Bundle costs $99.99 and comes with the following:

  • 9 Play Boosters
  • One Premium Booster
  • 25 Regular pizza-themed lands
  • 5 Foil pizza-themed lands
  • Two Foil Pizza Bundle promo cards
  • 2 Reference cards
  • One Large life tracker
  • One Card-storage box

If you’re wondering about the “pizza bundle promo” is, it’s basically a reprint of an older card featuring all-new Turtle-themed art. The team revealed an example for the popular Magic card Dark Ritual featuring art of Splinter adding toppings on a pizza. There are six distinct Pizza Bundle promo cards available.

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

Draft Night

This unique product is designed for a four-person draft and costs $119.99. That will get you:

  • 12 Play Boosters (the perfect amount a group of four to play draft)
  • 1 Premium Booster (aka, the reward for winning)
  • Ninety Regular land cards (to build your deck)
  • 10 Non-foil double-sided tokens
  • 1 drafting guide (a single-page instruction sheet to drafting this expansion)

Cooperative Play Set

Lastly, Wizards are doing something new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as part of its continued initiative to create Magic game products specifically for beginners. Here, Turtle Team-Up is a special set of decks that let you and a friend team up against a “Boss” deck that pilots itself.

The concept is that each Boss card gives unique powers to the creature cards contained in the boss deck. Each Boss automatically casts an additional card each turn, and players begin fighting {one Boss|
