"BaronGrackle, I'd like to play a game. You've spent your entire life watching film series strictly in release order. Now you have a chance to find out how important that is to you.

"On July 19, the first eight Saw films will be removed from Netflix in your region. So far, you and your son have only watched up to Saw III.

"A cursory glance at internet rankings will tell you that one of the highest ranked Saw films is the very last, Saw X. Some sources rank it higher than the original.

"Those same sources rank the absolute worst Saw movies as the next few you are scheduled to watch. Mr. Grackle, are you willing to binge through the worst movies in this franchise before they're removed in a little over a week, so that you can have full continuity to watch the finale?

"You have a job and a family who largely aren't watching these films with you, Mr. Grackle. Frankly, I'd say you're cooked."

The story of The Last Ronin is the "canon event" of Silent Partner - Return to New York, in this universe.

Mirage: While the turtles are with April, her apartment and the 2nd Time Around shop are destroyed by foot ninja. Casey Jones and Shredder arrive. After the battle, Leo is critically injured. The turtles retreat to Northampton and renew. Eventually, they return to New York and defeat Shredder - actually clones of the original.

1987 cartoon: While the turtles are with April, her apartment is destroyed by mousers controlled by Shredder. No retreat here... though they defeat Shredder later. Weak connection.

1990 film: While the turtles are with April, her apartment and the 2nd Time Around shop are destroyed by foot ninja. Casey Jones arrives. After the battle, Splinter has been captured while Raph is critically injured. The turtles retreat to Northampton and renew. Eventually, they return to New York and defeat Shredder - combining with the events of Mirage #1.

2003 cartoon: While the turtles are with April, her apartment and the 2nd Time Around shop are destroyed by foot ninja. Casey Jones and Shredder arrive. After the battle, Leo is critically injured. The turtles retreat to Northampton and renew. Eventually, they return to New York and defeat Shredder - whom they thought might have been killed before, though he survived.

2012 cartoon: (It's been a while and I forget details, but April's apartment is attacked though not destroyed. Leo is injured and Splinter kidnapped, retreat to Northampton and vision quest, return to New York. Sorry for foggy details.)

IDW comics: Subversion - April is with the turtles and Casey as they attack Shredder's gathering. It may or may not be important that April's workplace is destroyed and she loses her job (StockGen). After the battle, Splinter is injured and Leo has trauma. The turtles retreat to Northampton and renew. Eventually, they return to New York.

The Last Ronin: From my perspective, it looks like the events of Issue #1 kept Oroku Saki dead for good, leading more directly to City at War and the peace treaty with Karai. But canon events tug at the universe! So... while the turtles are with April and Casey, her apartment and the 2nd Time Around shop (and the Hamato Clan base) are destroyed by foot ninja and mousers. After the battle, almost everyone has been killed. The last turtle retreats to the countryside and renews, kind of. Eventually, he returns to New York and defeats Shredder - actually the grandson of the original.

What do you guys think? The wiki for 2nd Time Around says it was already destroyed before the events of the turtles' death, but I'm not convinced that's the case. Also, Raph being killed in a prior fight might be a reflection of Leo or Raph being injured in a prior fight, as happens in most versions.

I think Miguel O'Hara would tell us the Roninverse delayed the Silent Partner - Return to New York canon event, and this harsher world was the result of it resolving too late! :)

While watching this show on Disney+, it can be difficult to navigate episodes in their Production Order: [https://darkwingduck.fandom.com/wiki/List\\\\\\\_of\\\\\\\_Darkwing\\\\\\\_Duck\\\\\\\_episodes#Production\\\\\\\_order\](https://darkwingduck.fandom.com/wiki/List%5C\_of%5C\_Darkwing%5C\_Duck%5C\_episodes#Production%5C\_order)

Production Order isn't perfect, but it's quick and easy, and it has most characters' "first episode" as their actual first. The main exception is Darkly Dawns the Duck two-parter, which has the origin story for our main cast and is placed at the beginning of most lists - so I've placed it at the beginning here.

The following list has episodes in Production Order, but with numbers that match their Disney+ listings. It should help find each episode as you jump around:

I understand that having Universes Beyond in this game is already a privilege. But I'm going to vent about this anyway because it's fun to vent. :)

As a TMNT fan, the TMNT cards have several great good guy commanders but poor bad guy commanders.

Shredder is the most iconic TMNT villain leader and head of the Foot Clan. However, all of his "solo" cards are mono black. This means he can't command most of the Foot Clan cards, which usually include white.

Krang is another iconic TMNT villain, typically leading stone soldiers. Krang's colors are mono blue, while the rock soldier cards are mono red.

[[Baxter Stockman]] is red/blue, which is fine for making a mouser-based commander deck (which are also red or red/blue). But this means he and his mousers are both completely incompatible to serve in a Shredder or Krang deck, despite working under them for several versions.

If we expand Shredder cards to include [[Krang & Shredder]] (blue/black), we have a pretty iconic duo who are incapable of commanding most Foot Soldiers, Rock Soldiers, Mousers, or Baxter Stockmans.

The thematically best Shredder commander is [[Dark Leo & Shredder]] (white/black), since they can at least command the Foot Clan now. But geeze, it's Leonardo again. This was a fun but very short and very niche story arc.

Bebop and Rocksteady are recurring henchmen in multiple versions of this story. But no version of Rocksteady (green) can serve in any of the decks I've described so far.

. . .

In summary? The most flavorful commander to use in a TMNT heroes deck (including all four turtles and their allies) is [[Leonardo, the Balance]] or [[Heroes in a Half Shell]]. The most flavorful commander to use in a TMNT villains deck (including the handful of major villains and their minions) is [[Leonardo, the Balance]] or [[Heroes in a Half Shell]].

Thank you for reading my whine. Also [[The Cloning of Shredder]] isn't really a saga.

Otherwise I absolutely love this set, though I apologize for it taking content from MTG in-universe. Thanks!
