Get ready to shell-ebrate, Magic: The Gathering® fans, because your favorite heroes in a half shell are crashing into the multiverse! But here's where it gets controversial: Can the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles truly hold their own in the complex world of Commander? We're about to find out with the brand-new Turtle Power! Commander deck, part of the highly anticipated Magic: The Gathering® | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover (https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles). This deck isn't just a nostalgia trip—it's a fully functional, action-packed experience designed for multiplayer mayhem. Inspired by the Turtles' digital realm adventures, it introduces cards that are entirely new to Magic, making it a must-have for both TMNT enthusiasts and Commander aficionados.
At the heart of this deck are the Turtles themselves, each represented as a legendary creature with unique abilities:
- Leonardo, the Balance (0001MTGTMTCmdrFace): The disciplined leader, ready to bring harmony to the battlefield.
- Donatello, the Brains (0002MTGTMTCmdrFace): The tech-savvy genius, whose strategies are as sharp as his bo staff.
- Splinter, the Mentor (0003MTGTMTCmdrFace): The wise sensei, guiding his students—and your deck—to victory.
- Raphael, the Muscle (0004MTGTMTCmdrFace): The hot-headed brawler, packing a punch in every move.
- Michelangelo, the Heart (0005MTGTMTCmdrFace): The fun-loving soul, bringing joy and unpredictability to the game.
- Heroes in a Half Shell (0006MTGTMTCmdrFace): A card that embodies the Turtles' unbreakable bond.
And this is the part most people miss: While Leonardo is the face commander, the deck leverages the Partner mechanic, allowing you to team up two commanders with this ability. This means you can pair Leonardo with Donatello, Raphael, or any other eligible legendaries, creating dynamic and synergistic strategies. It's a game-changer for players who love flexibility and creativity in their decks.
Each Turtle Power! Commander deck comes packed with:
- 1 Ready-to-play 100-card Commander deck: Everything you need to jump into the action right out of the box.
- 1 Traditional foil face commander with borderless art: Leonardo shines in all his glory.
- 5 Traditional foil featured commanders with borderless art: The entire Turtle crew, plus Splinter, in stunning detail.
- 94 Non-foil cards: The backbone of your deck, ready to support your commanders.
- 10 Double-sided tokens or punch-out counters: Add even more TMNT flavor to your games.
- 1 Deck box: Keep your cards safe and organized.
While the full decklist won't be revealed until closer to the set's release, you can sneak a peek at the recently unveiled cards in the set's card image gallery (https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/card-image-gallery).
