One of the most thrilling trading card crossovers in recent years is almost upon us. The much-anticipated Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set is set to launch on June 13, 2025, and the only product still readily available from major retailers is the Starter Kit. You can now preorder this essential entry point into the new set at Amazon for just $19.87. For our UK readers, it's available for £15.99. With the rest of the sets sold out and some individual cards already fetching over $500, securing your preorder is a wise move before it disappears quicker than a Chocobo on the horizon.

The buzz around this set has been building ever since its announcement, and a new trailer has only fueled the excitement further. Prices in the singles market are soaring, with the borderless version of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, currently priced at $147.23, while the Surge Foil variant commands an impressive $599, making it the priciest card in the entire Final Fantasy set.

If you've already locked in your preorder or are scouting for rare singles, there are several standout cards to watch in the coming weeks. One such highlight is the stunning borderless Kefka, Court Mage, featured in the new MTG teaser trailer from PAX East, illustrated by the renowned Final Fantasy artist, Yoshitaka Amano.

TCG Player is a fantastic resource for those looking to build their deck with specific singles without relying on the luck of the draw. It's also invaluable for tracking the value of your cards post-release, especially if you happen to pull any Surge Foil cards from your booster pack preorders. However, remember that prices can fluctuate, so some cards might see shifts in value as the release date approaches.

Among the cards to watch for when opening boosters or considering for standalone purchase is the Cloud, Ex-Soldier Commander card, priced at $45.99. Its value stems from its ability to enhance your gameplay by equipping other creatures on the field. The full-art Yuffie Kisaragi - Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow card is another gem, priced just under $100, valued for its dual role as a Commander and its rarity, especially with its iconic late 90s FF7 art style.

When it comes to the high-end cards, the borderless Traveling Chocobo card stands out at $169.98, with its standard version still fetching a significant $114.97. You can also find the new Traveling Chocobo cards, which were featured in their own teaser trailer showcasing a limited edition Gold Chocobo.

While the hunt for rare cards can be costly, TCG Player offers a range of singles at more affordable prices, such as Sazh’s Chocobo for $1.96, Tonberry for $2.49, Summon: Shiva for $1.56, and even Gladiolus Amicitia for just 33 cents.

TCG Player is also hosting preorders for select Final Fantasy booster sets, though at prices above MSRP. You can grab the nine-booster Final Fantasy bundle (plus bonus cards) for $87.99, or a 30-pack Play Booster Display box for $164.99, both including shipping. Single sealed boosters are available for $7.99 each plus shipping.

Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy Starter Kit

$19.87 at Amazon

For those preordering the Starter Kit, it's important to know that each deck is preconstructed and does not include boosters to open, so no chance of pulling those $600 cards. Instead, you get one traditional foil legendary creature, five brand-new non-foil cards debuting in Magic, and 54 cards from the main set. The kit also includes four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards (one per deck), and two deck boxes, making it a great value at the $20 price point.

For newcomers to Magic: The Gathering, the Arena code cards are particularly beneficial. You can redeem both decks to play online, allowing you to learn the game at your own pace through AI matches or competitive play.
