Magic: The Gathering and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Unite in 2026 Crossover Release

Wizards of the Coast is set to launch one of Magic: The Gathering's most anticipated Universes Beyond collaborations to date. Arriving on March 6, 2026, Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merges the strategic depth of Magic with the beloved world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). This new release brings iconic characters, thematic mechanics, and innovative formats to players and collectors worldwide.

This collaboration introduces new products across multiple play styles and formats, offering something for fans of both franchises.

Set Overview and Legality

The TMNT collaboration includes three interconnected product codes, each with specific format legalities:

Cards from the TMT and PZA sets can appear in Play Boosters, and are valid in Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Draft and Sealed formats.

A Unique Crossover with Rich Flavor

This set integrates the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe directly into the Magic framework, bringing characters such as Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, Master Splinter, April O'Neil, and Shredder to life through carefully designed card mechanics and flavorful world-building.

Expect card designs that highlight the individuality and teamwork of the turtles, alongside synergies themed around ninja combat, sewer exploration, mutation, and pizza-fueled action. Fans of the franchise will also recognize antagonists such as Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, and other adversaries from across the TMNT legacy.

Introducing "Turtle Team-Up" – A New Cooperative Format

One of the standout innovations of this release is Turtle Team-Up, a fully cooperative gameplay format supporting up to four players. It is designed to be played out of the box and includes:

• Four pre-constructed 60-card Hero Decks (one per turtle)

• A challenging pre-built enemy deck featuring Shredder and his allies

• A mission-based structure that encourages teamwork and shared strategy

This marks a notable expansion of Magic's product design, providing a new option for casual and social players who prefer cooperative gameplay experiences.
