Everyone’s favorite crime-fighting reptiles are coming to Magic: The Gathering, but in a bizarre twist, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles won’t be taking advantage of the game’s most famous ninja-related ability. Instead of Ninjutsu (a mechanic introduced to Magic back in 2000 with the Feudal-Japan-inspired Champions of Kamigawa) this new Universes Beyond crossover introduces an original ability called Sneak that makes one important rules change, arguably for the better.

This is an exciting development for MTG fans! It’s great to see the game evolving and addressing long-standing abilities. The addition of crime-fighting reptiles sounds like a fun twist. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out!
