Magic: The GatheringThe last remaining set is planned for 2026 and is another Universes Beyond set based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This disclosure serves to confirm previous leaks. TMNT In fact, it will be the last remaining set for 2026. But looking at today's card preview and the entire product line, we can see that the Commander deck is a clear highlight. magiccoming year.
From what we know so far about Commander precons planned for 2026, two will be available as part of the Lorwyn Eclipsed set in January, and the recently revealed “Turtle Power” Commander deck will be available as part of the TMNT set in March. Interestingly, the “Turtle Power” precon is the second of the three pre-designed decks to have a multicolor/WUBRG color identity. Magic: The Gathering Precon may be a can't-miss pick-up for EDH players, packed with staples for the format. Regardless of what players think about this game; TMNT There's a lot of potential value in the “Turtle Power” precon that makes it hard to ignore what's been revealed so far, or even Universe Beyond's in general.

Magic: The Gathering's 'Turtle Power' precon will likely include Commander staples.
Going into today's reveal, there were a lot of questions about what exactly was included in the Ninja Turtles Universe Beyond set, including how the property fit into the broader scope. Magic: The Gathering In a way that suits the game. From our peek at some of the cards and product lines today, it's clear that the “Turtle Power” Commander deck is a highlight thanks to its multi-color identity, and packs a ton of value for the price even without a decklist. There are 43 new subscribers.magic Six of the cards in “Turtle Power” are Commanders, leaving 57 spots for valuable Commander staples and lands of each mana color that can justify the price of the deck itself.
It doesn't hurt that Leonardo, the deck's face commander, puts a new spin on the classic partner mechanic along with the other Commander-eligible cards in Precon. This makes “Turtle Power” a fun spin on the multicolor archetype that will set it apart from other 2026 precons that have already been released. Lorwyn Eclipsed also has a multi-colored precon called the “Dance of the Elements” deck, but what we know about that deck suggests that it's mechanically unique when compared to other decks. TMNT match. And with Lorwyn Eclipsed acquiring the remainder of the planned Shocklands reprint, that leaves plenty of room for other valuable dual and fetch lands to find their way into the TMNT set.
'Turtle Power' precon could be a case of magic: The Gathering's history repeats itself
Until an official deck list comes out from Wizards of the Coast, any assumption of what may or may not end up in pre-con scheduled for 2026 is pure speculation, but with that speculation also comes precedent for how multicolor decks have been constructed in the past. Two of the most expensive and popular precons are built around the Eldrazi creature type. Modern Horizons 3's “Eldrazi Incursion” is a multicolor deck and Commander Masters' “Eldrazi Unbound” is colorless, both of which have seen significant spikes in value since their initial release. While most of its value comes from the desirability of the Eldrazi cards it includes, it's also important to recognize that there are incredibly valuable lands that make up the mana base of each contributing deck.
Turtle Power means power against all types of decks.
If the “Turtle Power” precon is another example of Wizards of the Coast giving players a pre-built deck filled with the essentials of a top-tier land or commander, it's likely to inflate its value post-launch. But even if the deck doesn't skyrocket in value on the secondary market, the multicolor identity of “Turtle Power” will almost certainly make it worth picking up for anyone who primarily plays the Commander format to get lands of each color. MTG. The rise in popularity of EDH has partly driven Wizards of the Coast's strategy. Magic: The Gathering's release schedule and the increasing frequency of Universe Beyond sets, “Turtle Power”, with its practical value, could be a way to say “thank you” to players.
