The second Magic: The Gathering set of 2026 is here, and it’s Turtle Time! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have emerged from the shadows in cardboard form, but despite coming from the sewer, there’s treasure to be found.
Below, you’ll find the priciest cards from the set so far, thanks to our friends at TCGplayer, with the caveat that these are pre-launch prices and subject to move around more than a backflipping reptile.
Some values with rise, some will fall, and there’s every chance that this list looks completely different by this time next week – we’ll update it in the coming days in any case.
10. Turtles in Time (Showcase Fracture Foil)
Kicking our list off, Turtles In Time is a seven-cost Sorcery that returns creatures to hands, then lets players shuffle their hand and graveyard into their library and draw seven cards.
This Fracture Foil variant is fetching around $160 right now.
9. April O’Neil, Hacktivist (Showcase Fracture Foil)
A four-cost 1/5, April O’Neil, Hactivist lets you draw extra cards for each card type among spells cast that turn in your end step.
This version is in Fracture Foil and will set you back around $190.
8. Donatello, Gadget Master (Showcase Fracture Foil)
The first Turtle creature on our list, Donatello, Gadget Master, is a 3/2 with the Sneak keyword. When he deals damage, create a token that’s a copy of a target artifact you control.
The Showcase Fracture Foil treatment is up to $226 already.
7. Casey Jones, Vigilante (Showcase Fracture Foil)
Popular character Casey Jones, Vigilante costs just three mana for a 4/3, and gives you card draw at the cost of having to discard next turn.
The Showcase Fracture Foil is up to $280, making it one of the most desirable cards to find.
6. Raphael, the Nightwatcher (Showcase Fracture Foil)
Raph is the muscle, and he’s looking particularly strong in this Showcase Fracture Foil variant of Raphael, the Nightwatcher.
He’s a four-cost 2/3 that gives your attacking creatures double strike, and it’ll set you back around $280. Ideal for aggro Red decks, or anyone that just loves to turn cards sideways to attack
5. Dark Leo & Shredder (Showcase Fracture Foil)
Talk about an odd couple: Dark Leo and Shredder is a two-cost 1/3 that creates ninja tokens when it deals damage, gives those ninjas deathtouch when you attack, and then slices a player’s life total in half when you have five or more ninjas.
This full-art, Showcase Fracture Foil is selling for just shy of $300.
4. Leonardo, Cutting Edge (Showcase Fracture Foil)
This awesome-looking Fracture Foil of Leonardo, Cutting Edge, is a two-cost 1/1 with Lifelink that grows in power as you gain life, and has the Sneak keyword.
It’s up to $340 right now ahead of launch.
3. Super Shredder (Showcase Fracture Foil)
The Turtles’ nemesis, this version of Super Shredder is a 1/1 with Menace that grows in power as other creatures leave the battlefield.
It’s selling for around $350 if you can find the Showcase Fracture Foil version.
2. Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 (Showcase Fracture Foil)
Surely the cutest card on this list, Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11, shows adorable versions of our heroes gathered around Mikey’s bizarre choice of meal.
This two-cost, 1/1 gives you a Mutagen token when it enters, then doubles +1/+1 counters. It’s sitting around $440 right now.
1. Donatello, Mutant Mechanic (Showcase Fracture Foil)
Donatello’s having all the fun, and this Borderless, Gold-Stamped Signature variant is selling for around $3000.
Donatello, Mutant Mechanic is a four-cost 3/5 with the tap ability to put counters on an artifact to make it a creature. When it dies, those counters keep moving. That’s tough to read with Kevin Eastman’s signature on it, though.
Expect the other Turtles’ signature cards to pop up here once they’re unwrapped, too, but Donatello, Mutant Mechanic could cause carnage when paired with cards from the Final Fantasy X Commander precon, Counter Blitz.
Where To Find The Most Valuable TMNT Cards
While you have a slim (and we mean slim) chance of finding them in Play Boosters, you’re infinitely more likely to find these desirable (read: valuable) cards in Collector Boosters.
These packs are $37.99 each, but include all foil and alternate art treatments so you’ve got a much better chance of finding expensive cards in them.
The trouble is that scalpers are aware of this – so Collector Boosters are tough to track down.

If you are looking to buy cards from the US, that’s easily remedied with TCGplayer’s huge catalog, but it’s now even easier to buy cards from the site without being in the US yourself.
“International package forwarding services give you a local shipping address in the U.S, receive purchases for you, and then consolidate and forward them to your home address at competitive global shipping rate,” the retailer says, and many locations can receive a 15% discount on their first shipment.
