Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Booster Fun

There are a fair few Booster Fun treatments for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These include a four-card Headliner series, scenes from the franchise, and a set of Pizza basic lands. According to the press release:

Experience Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in style with this set's Booster Fun treatments! At New York Comic Con, we gave fans a sneak peek at some of these treatments, and we'll have more to share closer to the set's release. For now, take a look at some of these totally tubular treatments.

Four Borderless Headliner Cards with Art by Kevin Eastman

Kevin Eastman, the original illustrator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has returned for this set's headliner card. Or rather, cards, as each of the four main Turtles has a headliner card. These cards feature original borderless artwork by Kevin Eastman, complete with a shiny stamp of the artist's signature. We showed off this version of Leonardo, Sewer Samurai, and we'll share his borderless brothers closer to the set's release.

Kevin Eastman headliner cards are available only in English in Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collector Boosters of any language.

Source Material Cards

We're taking cards from Magic's history and tricking them out with turtle-tastic artwork. Source material cards from Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles feature artwork from throughout the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. We're only revealing one of these cards today, but it's an absolute banger: Doubling SeasonDoubling Season with the cover art from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1.

There are 20 different source material cards in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Non-foil source material cards appear in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. Traditional foil source material cards appear only in Collector Boosters.

Borderless Pizza Bundle Cards

Savor the flavor of the Pizza Bundle! We're cooking up 6 cards from Magic's past, topping them with pizza-themed artwork, and serving them to you as part of the Pizza Bundle. While we're only giving you a taste of these cards today, we'll be feeding you more previews in the near future.

Each delectably designed Pizza Bundle contains 2 of 6 Pizza Bundle cards.

Full-Art Pizza Basic Lands

The Turtles' love of pizza is so strong that we're bringing it to the set's basic lands. These full-art pizza basic lands feature a hearty helping of pizza toppings across all 5 basic lands. While the toppings are sure to be contentious, we think these lands will please any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan.

Pizza lands appear in non-foil and traditional foil in Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Bundles, with surge foils and traditional foils available in Collector Boosters.
