The next Magic: The Gathering set is far from the caverns of Ixalan and the grottos of Theros—indeed, it’s set somewhere beneath the storm drains of New York City. As Wizards of the Coast announced Friday, it’s a crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themselves.
Universes Beyond might be something of a contentious talking point in the MTG community these days, but ignore that for a moment and check out these awesome turtle cards. You’ll find the main four turtles and Splinter, sure, but there’s plenty more from nearly every incarnation of the venerable comic book heroes.
Watch On
I’m someone who just thinks the ninja turtles are neat, so I’m over the moon to see new art from Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, as well as nods to deep cuts like IDW’s Wolverine claw-wielding female turtle, Jennika. The art is as painterly and vibrant as you’d expect from a new MTG set, and the new land artworks are of pizza toppings in the shape of each color’s mana symbol, so that’s cute.
