TMNT Cards Modern Performance Not Yet Available

1 requestsStarted 3/5/2026, 12:27:53 PM
there have been mtgo challenges already, please check new cards from teenage mutant ninja turtles that are performing well

Let me gather the necessary data — I'll look up the TMNT set info and recent Modern meta simultaneously!

Hmm, I don't see a TMNT set listed in the meta changes. Let me search for TMNT-specific cards and check the most recent tournament data!

🛠️Get Card Presence

The TMNT cards don't have local card_ids yet (not in DB or too new). Let me search for them via Scryfall names and also query the DB directly for any Mutant Ninja Turtle cards!

🛠️QueryTMNT themed cards tournament deck usage

Let me fix the query (SQLite uses LIKE, not ILIKE) and also look up the TMNT set code:

🛠️QueryMutant-themed Cards in Recent Tournament Decks
🛠️QueryNinja Turtle and Marvel themed card sets

Interesting — the TMNT set (code: TMT) releases tomorrow, March 6th 2026 according to the database, so it's not officially out yet. But let me check if any MTGO challenges have already fired with TMT cards in the data:

🛠️QueryUpcoming tournaments from February 20 2026

Now let me check if any TMT set cards appear in those most recent tournaments (March 1-2):

🛠️QueryMost played cards in recent tournaments
🛠️QueryTMT Card Usage in Modern Format Tournaments

That's very clear now. Here's the full picture:


🐢 TMNT Cards in Modern — Not Yet in the Data

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set (set code: TMT) has a release date of March 6, 2026 — that's tomorrow. The MTGO Challenges that have fired so far (most recently the Modern Showcase Challenge on March 2nd) predate the set's MTGO availability, so:

  • Zero TMT cards appear in any recent Modern tournament data
  • The database confirms the set exists but no deck has registered a TMT card yet

📅 What to Expect

MTGO typically enables new set cards shortly around the paper release date. The first Challenges with TMT cards will likely be this coming weekend (March 7–8). Once those fire and get logged, I'll be able to pull:

  • Which TMNT cards are seeing play and in what archetypes
  • Winrate splits for decks running them vs. not
  • Top 8 breakdowns featuring new tech

💡 Check back after the weekend Challenges! I'll be able to give you a full breakdown of which Ninja Turtles are actually pulling their weight in the Modern meta.


Sources: Most recent data from the Modern Showcase Challenge (2026-03-02) — no TMT cards present. Set release confirmed as 2026-03-06.
