Magic: The Gathering has a busy 2026 planned, but the last set to be revealed was a crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Yes, it marks our second trip to New York in less than a year, thanks to last year’s Spider-Man set (seriously, there are infinite dimensions we could travel to!), but the Heroes in a Half Shell are doing things a little differently.
Not only does it offer our first Universes Beyond Commander Deck since Final Fantasy, but there are some new product types, too. Here’s everything you can preorder.
TMNT MTG Preorders in a Half Shell
As you can probably imagine, there are more products coming than you can shake a Bo Staff at launching on March 6, with pre-release a week prior from February 27 to March 5.
The foundation, as expected, is Play Boosters, and Amazon has a box for $148.20 right now – that’s a 29% saving.

You can also grab the now-customary booster bundle, which includes a promo card, a series of nine Play Boosters, a storage box and a spindown life counter. That’s dropped to $61.01 right now, making it an even more appealing gift option for a Turtle-loving Magic player in your life (there are dozens of us!).
We promised something new, and here it is: The Turtle Team-Up box, which offers co-op gameplay where “2-4 players battle for survival against an onslaught of villainous adversaries”. It’s still $49.99 at Amazon, and includes four pre-built 60-card hero decks, one Enemy deck with 11 bosses, seventeen Event Cards, and four 14-card boosters.

Also new this time is a Pizza Bundle, which includes 9 Play Boosters, 1 Collector Booster, 25 non-foil Pizza lands (yes, really), five foil Pizza lands, 2 foil promo cards, and a spindown life counter. Amazon had this for $99.99, but they’re all gone – almost certainly because there’s a single Collector Booster inside.
Also out of stock is the Collector Boosters. As with any set, these are where you’ll find the high-value cards, and Amazon sold out fairly quick for both boosters and a box of them. Expect them to be expensive, though, with an MSRP of $37.99 each, or around $479.99 for the box.
While they are out of stock now, they could come back, especially since the Spider-Man Universes Beyond Collector Boosters are also back at Amazon recently as well. As a reminder, Collector Boosters include alternate art treatments and foils, but they’re functionally the same cards. Buy them, or don’t, but don’t feel like you have to spend almost $500 for a box just to play this great card game.
Draft Night, a new boxed product making its debut in January’s Lorwyn, is also included. It has a bunch of packs (twelve in total) to play sealed draft, and a Collector Booster for the winner to take home. It’s $119.99 at Amazon, but also out of stock for now as well (probably for the same reasons outlined above).

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is Getting a Commander Deck

Finally, Commander players can expect a return to precon decks… but just one. After being absent since Edge of Eternities, there’s a new precon coming, which is a five-color deck called Turtle Power!
Wizards has the decklist live now, but the big focus is on teamwork, so you can have a pair of Heroes in a Half Shell to be your Commanders. It’s currently up for preorder at $69.99, but I’d expect it to climb in value as we get closer to launch next year.
It’s also interesting that after very few five-color decks in recent years, we’re now getting two in consecutive sets after Dance of the Elements from Lorwyn: Eclipsed.
UK Preorders
I can’t remember the last time a set came with a single Commander precon. In 2025 alone we’ve had sets with no precons (Spider-Man, Avatar), sets with two (Aetherdrift, Edge of Eternities), a set with four (Final Fantasy) and a set with five (Tarkir Dragonstorm).
Why just the one? I honestly can’t complain. Even at my age, picking my favorite turtle is serious business, so having the whole gang in one, 100-card boxed product means I don’t have to make any tough choices.
