The Commanders: The deck includes all four Turtles (Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo) who each have the Partner – Character Select ability. This means you can mix and match any two of the Turtles (or Splinter, who also has the ability!) as your Commanders!

The Theme: The deck focuses heavily on teamwork, tokens, and +1/+1 counters to represent their growth and synergy.

3. The Pizza Bundle (Collector’s Delight)
The ultimate homage to the Turtles’ favorite food!

This special bundle includes Play Boosters, a Collector Booster, an oversized Spindown die, and most importantly: Full-Art Pizza Basic Lands! Yes, the basic lands feature a dripping slice of pizza with mana toppings!

It also includes pizza-themed promo cards of existing Magic cards, making the collecting chase extra cheesy.

The villains aren’t just here for show. Sneak peeks have confirmed powerful cards for the classic rogues:
