The long-awaited crossover between Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy is just around the corner, set to launch on June 13, 2025. The only set still readily available from major retailers is the Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy Starter Kit, which is now back in stock and available for preorder at Amazon for just $19.87. UK readers can also secure theirs for £15.99. With the rest of the sets sold out and some single cards already commanding prices over $500, it's wise to secure your preorder before it disappears faster than a Chocobo on the run.

The hype for this upcoming set has been building ever since its announcement, and a new trailer has only amplified the excitement. The singles market is reflecting this enthusiasm with high prices, such as the borderless version of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, currently at $147.23, while the Surge Foil version commands an astonishing $599, making it the priciest card in the entire Final Fantasy set.
If you've already secured your preorder or are on the lookout for rare singles, there are several standout cards to watch in the coming weeks. One such highlight is the stunning borderless Kefka, Court Mage card, showcased in the new MTG teaser trailer from PAX East, featuring the iconic artwork of Final Fantasy artist, Yoshitaka Amano.

TCG Player is an excellent resource for finding a wide range of single cards to add to your deck without relying on luck from booster packs. It's also a valuable tool for determining the worth of your cards once the new set is released. If you pull any Surge Foil cards from your booster pack preorders, you could find yourself with a significant asset. Keep in mind, however, that card prices fluctuate, so values may change as the release date approaches.
Other notable cards to watch for when opening boosters or considering standalone purchases include the Cloud, Ex-Soldier Commander card, currently priced at $45.99. This card's utility in equipping other creatures on the field explains its popularity. The full-art version of Yuffie Kisaragi - Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, is also noteworthy, priced just under $100 due to its use as a Commander and its rare, classic Final Fantasy VII art style.
The special cards, like the eye-watering $599 Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, and the borderless Traveling Chocobo at $169.98, command the highest prices. Even the standard version of the Traveling Chocobo is pricey at $114.97. The Traveling Chocobo cards were highlighted in their own teaser trailer featuring a limited edition Gold Chocobo.
While hunting for the rarest cards can be expensive, TCG Player offers more affordable options, such as Sazh's Chocobo for $1.96, Tonberry for $2.49, Summon: Shiva for $1.56, and Gladiolus Amicitia for just 33 cents.
TCG Player also hosts preorders for select Final Fantasy booster sets, albeit at prices above MSRP. Options include a nine-booster Final Fantasy bundle (plus bonus cards) and a 30-pack Play Booster Display box, priced at $87.99 and $164.99 plus shipping, respectively. Single sealed boosters are available for $7.99 each plus shipping.

For those preordering the Starter Kit, note that each deck is preconstructed and does not include boosters to open, meaning no surprise $600 cards. Instead, the kit contains one traditional foil legendary creature, five brand-new non-foil cards debuting in Magic, and 54 cards from the main set. It also includes four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards (one per deck), and two deck boxes, offering great value at the $20 price point.
For new Magic: The Gathering players, 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.
