Lorwyn Eclipsed started Magic: The Gathering’s 2026 with a bang, bringing the wonder of Lorwyn and Shadowmoor back to MTG with critical and player acclaim. The cards made an immediate impact on the professional circuit, with champion Christoffer Larsen using Deceit and Requiting Hex to power his Dimir deck to victory.
Now, the attention shifts to 2026’s first Universes Beyond expansion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which introduces the heroes in a half-shell and their various opponents through the years to Wizards of the Coast’s long-running card game on March 6. Today, Wizards held its usual Debut Stream for TMNT, showing off more cards, variants, and product details about the upcoming expansion.
While some may grit their teeth at seeing Leonardo and pals on Magic cards–especially after the underwhelming performance of Marvel’s Spider-Man last year–today’s reveal showed that there are plenty to like about the upcoming set, from cool new card designs to the celebration of TMNT’s entire history.
