First look at new Universes Beyond offering set for October 10
Nickelodeon and Magic: The Gathering (MTG) look set to be teaming up once again for a new Universes Beyond collaboration as a New York Comic Con panel listing for Nickelodeon x Magic: The Gathering was announced for October 10.
While the details are limited for now, the panel is set for 11 AM on Friday, October 10 in North-Room 409 and will feature three guests: Crystal Fraiser, Eric Englehard, and Stephanie Cheung. The description for the event notes it will be a first look at the next powerful team-up between the two brands:
"Get your exclusive first look at the next powerful team-up between Magic: The Gathering and Nickelodeon. It's going to be [redacted]!"
Judging by the guests appearing at this panel, many MTG players are convinced that the next big crossover between these franchises is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universes Beyond set. Not only that, but fans are convinced that this will be a full set. This is based on the guests who have been named for the panel.
Eric Englehard is a set designer for Magic: The Gathering, not a Secret Lair guy, making it much more likely that this announcement will be talking about a tentpole release. Engelhard has worked on releases such as Murders at Karlov Manor and Outlaws of Thunder Junction. Crystal Frasier is a narrative designer at Wizards of the Coast (WotC), who is also known as a TMNT fan through the franchise's toys and RPG (her Wikipedia page references a Ninja Turtles collection and says her first RPG was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness). Frasier wrote the Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft sourcebook. Stephanie Cheung, meanwhile, is a Wizards of the Coast Art Designer.
The latest Nick x MTG collab will follow the hit Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants collection earlier this year, and the highly-anticipated Magic: The Gathering x Avatar: The Last Airbender set, slated for release on Friday, November 21.
NYCC is a four-day celebration of all things pop culture, comics, film, and more taking place from Thursday, October 9-Sunday, October 12 at the Javits Center in Manhattan, NY. Nickelodeon will be at the convention celebrating 20 years of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Update (10/9): As NYCC 2025 gets underway, a food truck-esque TMNT x MTG vehicle has been spotted, seemingly confirming that the next collaboration will be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is currently slated to be released in March 2026.
