- Terra (Final Fantasy VI) - Revival Trance : This Mardu deck revolves around graveyard synergies, bringing back fallen heroes and making the most of the afterlife mechanics. If you love playing reanimator-style decks, this one is calling your name.
- Cloud (Final Fantasy VII) - Limit Break : Of course, Cloud takes center stage in a Naya deck that’s all about weapon synergies and powering up creatures past 7 power —a clear nod to the Limit Break mechanic from FFVII. Expect big, aggressive plays that dominate the battlefield.
- Tidus (Final Fantasy X) - Counter Blitz : Inspired by Blitzball, this Bant deck focuses on placing counters on creatures and moving them around strategically. If you enjoy building up your board and creating synergies through buffs, this deck looks like a lot of fun.
- Y’shtola (Final Fantasy XIV) - Scions & Spellcraft : Representing FFXIV, Y’shtola leads an Esper deck built around control and spellcasting. This one is perfect for players who love manipulating the game, countering threats, and making strategic plays.
Now, let’s talk about the pricing and release date . The standard Final Fantasy Commander decks will retail for $69.99 , while the Special Edition versions (featuring Magic’s surge foiling on all 100 cards) will go for $149.99 . Mark your calendars, because these decks are set to drop on June 13, 2025 .
This crossover is massive—not just for MTG players but for Final Fantasy fans who might be stepping into the game for the first time. Seeing these iconic characters reimagined within the Magic universe is a dream come true, and the unique mechanics of each deck reflect their respective games beautifully.
