New Mechanics: Sneak and Mutagen Tokens
While Ninjutsu might be missing in action (for now), the mtg tmnt set introduces a new mechanic called "Sneak." The sneak mechanic mtg allows you to cast spells for an alternate cost by returning an unblocked attacking creature you control to your hand. Think of it as a tactical retreat that opens up new opportunities! We've seen it on Raphael's Technique, hinting at the strategic depth this mechanic can add.
We're also getting mutagen tokens mtg. These artifact tokens can be sacrificed for one mana at sorcery speed to put a +1/+1 counter on a creature. While it's another artifact token to add to the ever-growing pile, it's great news for token decks and provides a boost for Commander staples like Korvold, Fae-Cursed King.
Product Lineup: Play Boosters, Pizza Bundles, and More!
The mtg teenage mutant ninja turtles set comes with a full suite of products, including mtg play boosters, mtg collector boosters, mtg draft night, Pre-Release Packs, and Bundles. But the real excitement comes from the unique offerings:
Turtle Power Commander Deck: This five-color commander deck tmnt is all about teaming up characters and buffing your creatures. The turtle power commander deck promises a unique and flavorful Commander experience.
Pizza Bundle MTG: Craving a slice of cardboard heaven? The pizza bundle mtg includes nine Play Boosters, one Collector Booster, 25 non-foil mtg pizza lands, five foil mtg pizza lands, two foil Pizza Bundle promo cards, an oversized spindown life counter, two reference cards, and a card-storage box designed to look like a pizza box. While it doesn't actually include pizza (and you probably shouldn't play MTG with pizza anyway), it's a fun and flavorful way to experience the set.
Turtle Team Up Box: This co-op play experience includes four play boosters and four themed decks based on each of the turtles. It also includes an enemy deck and a tutorial booklet to guide you through the cooperative gameplay. The turtle team up box is a great way to experience the set with friends.
Art Treatments: Pizza Lands, Eastman's Signature, and Reprints
Prepare for some seriously tasty art! The mtg tmnt set features two pizza-themed treatments. full art pizza lands will have a pizza slice depicting the land type, and will be available in Collector Boosters, the Draft Night box, and Pizza Bundles.
We're also getting borderless pizza cards, which are six different cards from older MTG sets, including Dark Ritual. And for the mtg reprints tmnt, expect to see tmnt source material cards, with twenty in total. The Doubling Season reprint features the cover art from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1.
The chase art this time around comes from kevin eastman mtg art, the original illustrator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These pieces depict each of the four turtles with a stamp of his signature. We've already seen leonardo sewer samurai, and it looks like it's been pulled straight out of a sketch book.
The mtg teenage mutant ninja turtles set is shaping up to be a truly unique and exciting addition to the Universes Beyond lineup. From new mechanics and product offerings to stunning art treatments, there's something for every MTG and TMNT fan to enjoy.
