By the end of 2021 I decided to undertake a huge task: playing through every mainline Final Fantasy game. I obviously had to make certain adjustments, like not playing XI and XIV because doing only the main story in each could take well over 100 hours. I’m currently playing Final Fantasy X.

The Final Fantasy titles came to Magic from Universes Beyond and landed like a meteor with record-setting pre-orders. The set mixes all the games from the franchise’s main line, from the original Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy XVI.

I’ve been pretty critical of Universes Beyond for several reasons. I’m not a fan of having original cards for other IPs; something like the Godzilla cards from Ikoria are a much better way to do it and I'm glad we get some of this with the Through the Ages bonus sheet. I don’t like that Magic keeps creating cards, Secret Lairs, Commander precons, and even entire sets for other IPs when those other IPs don’t necessarily include any Magic crossover or references. It's nearly impossible in something like Lord of the Rings, but there are things that can be done. For example, Warhammer could’ve launched a set of Magic-based minis.

That said, I have to admit I’m on board for this Final Fantasy crossover and I'm approaching acceptance.

With Universes Beyond, I might as well allow myself to enjoy when they make cards of things I like. Let’s start this journey to find out all about MTG x Final Fantasy!

About Final Fantasy and Set Legality

The MTG x Final Fantasy set released on June 13, 2025, and is legal in all formats as an initiative to make all Universes Beyond sets Standard-legal moving forward. It is available and fully draftable on Arena.

The Final Fantasy Commander and Final Fantasy Through the Ages cards are legal in EDH, Legacy and Vintage and formats in which they are already legal.

The Story

Dragoon's Lance | Illustration by Josephine Chang

Dragoon's Lance | Illustration by Josephine Chang

How do you tell the story of all the Final Fantasy video games? On another plane Wizards might get around to X-2 and the XIII sequels and treat XIV and XIV: A Realm Reborn as different games? There are also the mini-sequels to II and IV, the FF7 remakes and spinoffs, and a never-ending etc. That said, for this set, Wizards accounts for 16 mainline games in the series. Follow along with your cards and find the game title next to the collector number.

Ice Flan from Final Fantasy X

This is a massive amount of content and a tall order with so many Final Fantasy fans which hail different games as their favorite. The whole set plus Commander decks and Secret Lairs encompass the game franchise's story and pleased a large number of fans with how much ground they covered.

Secret Lairs

The three Secret Lair drops of Final Fantasy are split into sorceries, instants and artifact/equipment. If they're brought together as bundles a Gilded Lotus sweetens the deal as part of the Summer Superdrop in English and Japanese. All the cards in one language cost $200, or in both languages for an MSRP of $399.99. The sales started June 9, 2025, at 9 a.m. PT (June 10 at 1 a.m. JST) and sold out shortly after.

Final Fantasy: Game Over

Temporal Extortion / Absorb into Time

Final Fantasy: Grimoire

Heroic Intervention / Aerith's Curaga Magic

Final Fantasy: Weapons

Staff of the Storyteller / Yuna's Sending Staff

The individual bundles were listed at $29.99 for the non-foils and $39.99 for the rainbow foil versions in what I call an expensive sidequest. WotC says each one is sold out at the Secret Lair storefront.

Set Mechanics

Adventure

Zanarkand, Ancient Metropolis

There are almost two dozen locations on which to build your land bases and rather than gates for 10 common dual lands we get the full compliment of towns. A rare cycle with Zanarkand, Ancient Metropolis is among the first lands to have adventure on them. Much like MDFC lands, you get a full spell as an option with your lands rather than instead of, super useful!

Affinity

Affinity for artifacts is the first known use of it, and Final Fantasy brings it back for a total of three cards. The cool cost reducing mechanic shows up on Bartz and Boko to care about birds (which includes chocobos), Travel the Overworld for towns, and Valkyrie Aerial Unit for artifacts. This is inherently powerful stuff we're dealing with so watch out for all those artifact and bird token generators.

Transforming Double-Faced Cards

Get your coolest custom sleeves with a solid back ready, because these transforming double face cards are powerful. Many of these cards flip to show off the 2-color archetypes in Final Fantasy.

Job Select

White Mage's Staff

The job select mechanic functions much like living weapon and For Mirrodin! in that it creates 1/1 hero creature tokens that enter and auto-equip with the equipment.

Landcycling

Malboro

Landcycling is a handy way for a spell to search for a land. That card also goes to the graveyard since you discard it, which is sometimes a slick combo play with the reanimation targets like Malboro.

Landfall

The lovely landfall returns represented on several cards and for examples, I call up Final Fantasy 8‘s Zell Dincht, Final Fantasy 13‘s Sazh's Chocobo, and Final Fantasy 15‘s Gladiolus Amicitia. One of the appealing aspects of landfall is that it is simple to achieve and the easy-to-use benefits are straightforward and powerful. Bouncing lands back to the hand can be powerful stuff and quite at home with the Gruul color pair.

Saga Creatures

Summon: Shiva

Realize your spells as Summons, these cards have the enchantment card type and the saga subtype, in addition to a creature subtype. This is a deep well of design space, take for example, Summon: Shiva which slots into tapper and stun counter decks as well as those looking for a burst of card draw. A notable rule for sagas is that if it loses its chapter abilities, it does not get lore counter, nor does it get sacrificed as it used to due to a state-based action. Under normal circumstances, the card still gets sacrificed after the last lore counter effect resolves. If you track the typical combat eligibility of a 3-chapter saga creature, that's two turns of blocking and one chance to attack after chapter II.

Tiered

Fire Magic

The tiered mechanic makes a spell modal and has many similarities to spree. So scale up you cost as much as you'd like, but you only choose one additional cost.

Notable Cards

Traveling Chocobo

The range of chocobos is wide in this set if you consider the 2/2 bird creature tokens with landfall for +1/+0 as chocobos. At the top end are the 77 headliners, the golden Traveling Chocobo. The black chocobos are only printed in Japanese to honor the Final Fantasy 7 Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura. The Traveling Chocobo is also available in collector boosters in neon blue, green, pink, and yellow, and for the Mels out there, the mechanics on each of these is identical with a very good play from the top of your library effect and triggered ability doubler.

Crystals

The full colored cycle of Crystals reduce costs, and each one has a static ability and an activated ability, so the 4 mana value slot is a key one to launch you into the the biggest and strongest cards, and rely on 2-mana rocks to curve into these on turn 3.

Fang and Vainille

One special meld joins Fang, Fearless l'Cie and Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie to turn into Ragnarok, Divine Deliverance. This is an uncommon meld combination that is battlecruiser powerful.

Clive, Ifrit's Dominant / Ifrit, Warden of Inferno

Clive, Ifrit's DominantIfrit, Warden of Inferno

The only main set card with devotion, has devotion to red and rummages that many cards. As a legend turned saga creature, Clive, Ifrit's Dominant and Ifrit, Warden of Inferno is also somewhat of a ritual and removal by fighting.

Over 9000!

OverkillJumbo Cactuar

“It's over 9000!” This meme moment brought to you by Wizards of the Coast, is one I couldn't pass up. Overkill is indeed overkill considering no card has infinite toughness. The Jumbo Cactuar on the other hand is like a Standard legal Infinity Elemental. To finish off this recipe for one defeated opponent, add trample and serve with haste.

Cid, Timeless Artificer

With Cid's introduction in Final Fantasy 2 and persistence through Final Fantasy 16, you can get 15 different Cids and each of the different arts cares about artificers and heroes as a powerful anthem that counts artificers in your graveyard. Let me say this for the completionists, just because there are 15 of these relentless cards with cycling, doesn't mean you need all 15 of them. You can play with 10 from Final Fantasy 10, and three from Final Fantasy 3 and still bypass the 4-of rule.

Available Products

Wizards added more than a handful of products on December 5, 2025, about six months after the set's release, right in the heart of gift-buying season.

Even if it's against my better judgment, I really like this product. I’m a huge Final Fantasy fan, and I might as well get one of these Universes Beyond products that I can enjoy and geek out about. I have to say, this full set properly dives into the main Final Fantasy games and rewards you for having played both.

Were your expectations met? Even if you hate Universes Beyond, do you think the cards introduced interesting mechanics that deserve Universes Within versions? Will you grind this all day on Arena and make use of the free Arena Tutor? Comment and let me know, and don’t forget to check out the Draftsim Discord where you can join an amazing community of Magic fans.

That’s all for today, I'm headed back to my last save point. Have a good one, and I’ll see you next time, kupo!

    If they do decks, I want a Scions of the Seventh Dawn deck, based on the protagonists of FFXIV. Personally I’ve been hoping for it for ages and making little fan cards around the idea for years.

  • DIEGO August 2, 2023 3:36 pm

    Looking back at this article, with the GenCon panel speaking of the future of the franchise in a couple of days, and looking at what was both LotR and Dr. Who announcements, I think if I should have to bet on something, it would have to be the Dr. Who treatment, but one deck beyond. 4 decks of Commander, each focusing in a different era of FF, like
    I to VI
    VII and VIII
    IX to XIII
    XIV by itself
    XV and XVI
    Probably also like Dr. Who, a Collector Set with the alternate cards. Of course, I think a full set, with more focused Commander Decks (VII, X, XIV, XVI would be my main candidates) and some of the mechanics you described (Class enchantments sounds awesome, maybe they are double faced like when you reach lvl 3 they face down into the evolved version of the job) would be quite the special set, but sadly with the track record of Square being all fidgety around their properties, thats a big dream

  • Brandon January 29, 2025 9:36 am

    I get the sentiment of oh ff7 is pushed in everything , etc or whatever but how can you simultaneously recognize how massive 7 was and then also say idk why square enix pushes it soo much? That to me is kinda counter logic. 7 is the biggest in the franchise therefore obviously they are gonna set a lot of focus on those characters , ain’t nobody out here asking for a quina set or a Biggs alt art, no they want Cloud and Sephiroth, but they’ve already said that lightning is gonna be a card but if there is a serial card don’t be surprised if it’s cloud , I mean it’s just the safest bet and the best bet from a business standpoint, let’s be real about that.

  • FenrirUnleashed January 31, 2025 5:44 pm

    If it is just FF7, that opens us up for more, future FF sets based on individual games. That leaves wizards with, potentialy years worth of releases up their sleaves. On a fun side note, how would you implement x-2 costume changes into mtg?

    • Timothy Zaccagnino
      Timothy Zaccagnino February 2, 2025 2:58 pm

      We already know the Summer releases will cover all numbered entries from 1-15, so doubtful we’ll be seeing another Final Fantasy crossover set too soon.
      Costume changes? No idea… maybe MDFC equipment?

  • Dwight March 11, 2025 4:47 pm

    Make a Secret Lair with Noctis and the Boys… and give them Banding, cowards!

    • Timothy Zaccagnino
      Timothy Zaccagnino March 11, 2025 9:29 pm

      Oh man, banding would be perfect for FFXV wouldn’t it?
