Get Ready to Shell Out: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magic Set Hits the Table
The Cowabunga Collection of Magic Awesomeness
Hold onto your pizza slices because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are sliding into the world of Magic: The Gathering! Yep, you heard that right! This isn’t just any old deck; we’re talking about a rad Commander deck that’s bursting with nostalgia and inspired by all those epic TMNT video games we grew up playing. Think of it as a five-color shell shocker filled with favorites like Game Over, Level Up, High Score, and Arcade Cabinet. It’s seriously like stepping into an arcade while also sitting at the Magic table!
Team Up and Take Down the Bosses!
This set isn’t just about throwing down cards; it’s about teaming up — like the ultimate Turtle squad! Four players can jump into a co-op mode where they each pick a turtle-themed deck and set out to defeat bosses. This is less of a battle and more like a pizza party where everyone’s working together to become the Magic champions we all know they can be. And to make things even cooler, there are difficulty levels to help you ease into the complicated world of Magic. So, whether you’re a newbie or a pro, there’s a spot for you!
And let’s talk mechanics! The set introduces unfortunately cool things like Sneak, which allows your cards to sneak in when your opponent’s busy picking blockers. Imagine a ninja just popping in and saying, “Surprise! I’m attacking now!” It’s almost like Ninjutsu with a fresh twist, perfect for cards of all types!
Want even more tricks? How about Disappear? Basically, it’s the “ninja vanish” move that lets you trigger effects if one of your cards bounced off the battlefield earlier. So, your strategy is to bounce, vanish, and take advantage of all the coolness happening around you!
Plus, we’ve got the Alliance mechanic coming back, which is all about teamwork (just like the Turtles themselves!). When you play a new card with Alliance, it kicks off special effects. Talk about bringing back memories of those Saturday morning cartoon marathons!
Last but not least, for the hardcore TMNT fans, there’s new artwork from TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman himself. And let’s be real; those retro vibes are going to give you all the feels!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magic set is dropping onto Arena on March 3 and onto our beloved card tables on March 6. But wait, there’s more! Prerelease events kick off on February 27. So gather your pals, get those decks ready, and just like Michelangelo would say, “Let’s pizza it up!”
