Get your katanas and bo staffs ready (and especially a double pepperoni), because the new collaboration between Magic: The Gathering and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is coming very soon! We'll be getting a complete set from the Universes Beyond range, based on the pop culture universe that captivated children of the '80s and '90s.
And here's everything you need to know to prepare for its release on February 27th.
A complete set and brand-new game modes
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) arrives with a very rich and representative range of products from its universe.
The Turtle Power Commander Deck
A ready-to-play 100-card deck that uses the Partner mechanic, letting you choose who will accompany Leonardo as your commander. Will it be Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, or Splinter?
The Turtle Team-Up Box
A unique collaborative experience where you can play with 3 friends to face off against the fearsome Shredder and his minions, the enemy deck, using themed decks based on each Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Contents:
- 4 Magic: The Gathering | TMNT booster packs
- 4 themed decks
- Each deck is inspired by one of the four main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
- Each deck contains 60 cards, including cards from TMT and TMC.
- 1 enemy deck
- Includes 39 cards designed exclusively for the Turtle Team-Up experience.
The Pizza Bundle
A collector's box containing pizza-themed cards, a giant spindown die, and 10 booster packs (including 1 collector's edition) to spice up your collection.
New Mechanics: Stealth and Mutation
The set introduces keywords that perfectly fit the New York sewer setting:
Sneak
Sneak is an enhanced version of Ninjutsu. This allows you to pay a lower cost for a spell, which also applies to noncreature spells, if you also return an unblocked attacking creature you control to your hand.
Mutagene tokens
These are artifact tokens that you can pay one mana for and sacrifice to put a +1/+1 counter on a creature, but only in Sorcery Speed.
Collector's Treasure: "Source Material"
For the most hardcore fans, Source Material cards are back. These are reprints of cult Magic cards (like the iconic Doubling Season) featuring the original artwork from the 1984 comics!
In addition, TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman has personally illustrated each "Borderles" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle card you can find in Collector Boosters.
