Should have been “Materia”: The Gathering though…
Against all expectations, Magic: The Gathering – Final Fantasy is still available on Amazon. Given the way The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set disappeared faster than Texas draft beer at Tifa’s bar, you’d expect these to be long gone by now. For now you can still grab a box without emptying Materia slots on the secondary market. It won’t last, though. We all know how this goes.
UK Deals: MTG Final Fantasy Is Still Available
Launching globally on June 13, 2025, this set is the latest in Magic’s Universes Beyond series. Bringing Cloud, Squall, Terra, Aerith, and the rest of Final Fantasy’s biggest names into the world of cardboard combat. It covers every mainline Final Fantasy game from I to XVI, so if you grew up on pixel sprites, PS1 polygons, or you’re still pretending to understand the plot of Final Fantasy XV, there’s something in here for you.
Yes, these are Standard legal. Show up to Friday Night Magic and drop Sephiroth, Planet’s Heir on some poor unsuspecting soul. It probably won’t make you any friends, but we don’t suffer the weak either.
MTG FF Commander Pre-Built Decks
If you prefer Commander, the set has four pre-con decks, each led by a Final Fantasy icon. There’s Cloud’s Limit Break deck (Final Fantasy VII), Terra’s Revival Trance deck (Final Fantasy VI), Tidus’ Counter Blitz deck (Final Fantasy X), and Y’shtola’s Scions & Spellcraft deck (Final Fantasy XIV). And if that’s not flashy enough, there are Collector’s Edition versions where every card gets the Surge Foil treatment because we all know shiny cardboard is the real endgame.
MTG FF Boosters and Boxes
It doesn’t stop there. The set also packs Borderless Character cards with 55 Final Fantasy legends, Woodblock-inspired art for Final Fantasy IX, and Through the Ages reprints, where classic Magic cards get reimagined with Final Fantasy artwork. There are also serialized cards in the Collector Boosters, but no one knows what they are yet. It’s something ridiculous that’ll sell for the price of a second-hand car no doubt.
For now, Magic: The Gathering – Final Fantasy is still up on Amazon, but let’s be honest, it’s only a matter of time before it’s gone and people start whinging about scalpers. So, if you fancy getting in at a reasonable price instead of paying double in a month, now’s your chance.
