That’s right: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo are flipping their shells right onto Magic cards, ready to bring their signature “turtle power and toughness” to the battlefield. These cards don’t just look radical — they’re part of an all-new cooperative Magic experience where up to four players team up to take down villains like Shredder and his goons. Think of it like Commander, if Commander also let you whack mutant rhinos in the face with a nunchaku while yelling “cowabunga!”
The Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover was unveiled at New York Comic Con this week, where fans got their first look at cards from both the main set and its Commander deck. And now, Wizards of the Coast is taking the hype beyond NYC’s sewers and straight into our hearts (and credit cards). And a lot about this set was shown off. From individual cards, to set lists, to Commander Decks, and so much more. Let’s start by taking a look at the core four in the form of Legendary Creatures that we absolutely must have:

Players of all skill levels can jump in with one of four pre-built 60-card hero decks — each themed around a member of the team — and suit up with gear worthy of Master Splinter’s approval. Then, once you’ve shown the Foot Clan who’s boss, crack open four included Play Boosters for even more ways to fine-tune your shell-kicking strategy. Because nothing says “team bonding” like watching your friend open a foil Krang while you draw yet another land.
The set officially launches March 6, 2026, and is already available for preorder through local game stores, Amazon, and anywhere else Magic products are sold — presumably including dark alleys patrolled by Casey Jones.
This crossover isn’t just a nostalgia trip — it’s a time machine through every era of TMNT history. Whether you worship Kevin Eastman’s gritty black-and-white art or grew up with the Saturday morning cartoon theme song permanently tattooed on your soul, this set’s got something for you.
From the Mirage comics to the neon ‘90s, to the sleek modern incarnations, Wizards has pulled from all corners of turtle canon to make this the ultimate pizza-fueled tribute. The new Turtle Team-Up product is even designed to bring families (and generations of fans) together, letting veteran players share their love of the heroes in a half shell with newcomers still figuring out how to untap mana.
Between the Turtle Power! Commander deck, the Turtle Team-Up set, and a handful of surprise reveals still lurking in the ooze, Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is shaping up to be one of the most unique crossovers yet.
So whether you’re a planeswalker, a pizza lover, or just someone who’s always wanted to cast “Cowabunga” as an instant, it’s time to grab your deck, call your friends, and make some magic in the sewers.
