One of the most anticipated trading card crossovers in recent memory is about to launch.

Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy Starter Kit
Releasing June 13, 2025. No payment required until shipment.
$19.87 at Amazon
With all other sets sold out and certain individual cards already exceeding $500 in value, securing your preorder now is advisable before stock disappears faster than a sprinting Chocobo.
The hype surrounding this crossover has grown steadily since announcement, peaking with a new gameplay trailer that amplified excitement. Current secondary market prices reflect this enthusiasm - the borderless Cloud, Midgar Mercenary currently trades at $147.23, while the Surge Foil version commands an astonishing $599 premium.
For those seeking rare singles, several standout cards deserve attention. The breathtaking borderless Kefka, Court Mage card stands out, featuring artwork by legendary Final Fantasy illustrator Yoshitaka Amano as showcased in the new MTG trailer from PAX East.
Other notable cards include Cloud's alternate Commander version ($45.99), the sought-after Traveling Chocobo borderless variant ($169.98), and the monstrously priced $599 Surge Foil Cloud card. The set also features affordable options like Sazh's Chocobo for $1.96 and Summon: Shiva at $1.56.
TCG Player serves as an excellent marketplace for acquiring specific cards and tracking their value - particularly useful if you're fortunate enough to pull rare Surge Foil cards from booster packs. However, remember that card values fluctuate significantly around release.
For those seeking sealed products, TCG Player currently offers Final Fantasy booster sets above MSRP - including a nine-booster bundle with bonus cards ($87.99) and a 30-pack display box ($164.99). Individual boosters retail for $7.99 each.
The $19.87 Starter Kit represents excellent value with two preconstructed decks (one per faction), including 60 cards each, foil legendaries, exclusive MTG Arena codes, and deck boxes. While it doesn't contain randomized boosters, it provides an affordable entry point to this crossover event.
Additional MTG Preorders and Restocks
Amazon currently offers various Magic products including the Edge of Eternities Commander Deck ($44.99), Commander Masters Set Booster Box ($369.99), and Wilds of Eldraine Draft Booster Box ($175.31). Some older collections like the Theros Beyond Death Booster command premium prices up to $748.87.
For those seeking ready-to-play options, the Lord of the Rings Commander Deck bundles ($54.93-$60) and Doctor Who Paradox Power Deck ($42.83) provide compelling choices. Various prerelease packs and challenger decks complete the current offerings.
With the Final Fantasy collaboration launching amid intense demand and secondary market anticipation, collectors and players alike should act quickly to secure their preferred products before availability dwindles further.
