Main set cards

Wizards publicly showed dozens of cards from the MTG x TMNT set, including both characters and support pieces. Play Boosters for the set are priced at $6.99 per pack, while Collector Boosters are listed at $37.99 per pack. Among the revealed cards were Leonardo — Sewer Samurai and several villains and allies such as Super Shredder, April O’Neil (Hacktivist), Bebop & Rocksteady, Casey Jones (Jury-Rig Justiciar), Krang (Master Mind), and a card titled Turtles Forever.

Additionally, the set includes full-art basic lands with TMNT-themed art. These lands were shown for each of the five colors.

New mechanics and notable cards

One new mechanic is called Sneak. It is related to the older Ninjutsu mechanic but differs in key rules. Sneak can apply to non-creature spells and, unlike Ninjutsu, Sneak counts as casting the spell. Ninjutsu will remain in the game, but Wizards indicated Sneak is more likely to appear in future sets outside Kamigawa where Ninjutsu originated.

Wizards also showed one card, Turtles Forever, which has rules text that allows players to play cards that are not in their deck. Wizards confirmed that Turtles Forever is legal in all formats of Magic.

Finally, four cards in the set have special art created by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman; Leonardo — Sewer Samurai is one of those four.

Commander deck: Turtle Power

Wizards is releasing one preconstructed Commander deck called Turtle Power. It is priced at $69.99. The deck includes six legendary creatures that can function as commanders, and five of those cards use a Partner-like mechanic labeled “Character Select” that allows you to start with two of them in the command zone instead of one.

Wizards stated that the Turtle Power deck contains 43 new cards in total, which includes the six legendary creatures and additional TMNT-themed cards produced for the deck.

  • 1 Enemy deck featuring 39 new cards designed exclusively for Turtle Team-Up
  • 6 Punch-out counter sheets
  • 4 Deck boxes
  • 1 Tutorial booklet

According to Wizards’ design notes shared at the reveal, each Boss card in the Enemy deck gives special abilities to the boss creatures and the Boss automatically plays one other card per turn. Engelhard said: “The default level is tuned so you can win 75% of the time,” Engelhard says, “but you can tune it to be a bit harder.”

Format legality and design context

Wizards confirmed that all cards from the TMNT set are legal in Standard. The design team said they intentionally considered which Standard sets would be active when TMNT enters the format. Senior game designer Eric Engelhard commented on the design timeline and cross-set synergy: “I led the design for 15 months and we knew it was going to be in standard and which sets were going to be near it in standard,” Engelhard says. He also noted a deliberate overlap with other recent Standard material: “They mesh together to provide the pieces for a fun Standard deck.”

For example, the designers pointed out a blue-red artifact-focused archetype that appears in both TMNT and Edge of Eternities, intended to create playable synergies in Standard.

Release dates and prices summarized: the main TMNT set releases March 6, 2026; the Pizza Bundle releases March 27, 2026. Play Boosters are $6.99; Collector Boosters are $37.99. The Turtle Power Commander deck is $69.99; the regular Bundle is $69.99; the Pizza Bundle is $99.99; Draft Night is $119.99; Turtle Team-Up is $49.99.
