Every MTG x Final Fantasy Product Explained: What You Should Get and Why

The Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy (MTG x Final Fantasy) crossover is finally happening, and it’s packed with characters we all know and love—Cloud, Sephiroth, Terra, Tidus, and more. If you’re into Magic or just a big Final Fantasy fan, there’s something in here for you. But with all the different boxes and packs being released, it can be a bit overwhelming. So here’s a simple guide to help you figure out what’s what—and what might be worth picking up.

Starter Kit – An Easy Way to Learn the Game

If you’re new to Magic (or just want to play casually with a friend), the Starter Kit is the easiest way to jump in. It comes with two 60-card decks featuring Cloud and Sephiroth, and everything’s ready to go—no deckbuilding or extra stuff needed.

What’s inside: Two full decks, some tokens, and simple rules to follow
Price: Around $19.99 USD
Why it’s cool: It’s low-stress and affordable. You can open it and start playing right away.

Commander Decks – Multiplayer Fun!

There are four Commander decks in the set, each one based on a different Final Fantasy game:

Final Fantasy VI: Revival Trance (Terra)
Final Fantasy VII: Limit Break (Cloud)
Final Fantasy X: Counter Blitz (Tidus)
Final Fantasy XIV: Scions & Swords (Y’shtola)

Commander is a casual multiplayer format where you play with a 100-card deck led by one powerful character. These pre-built decks are made to work right out of the box and come with lots of references to their original games.

Price: About $69.99 each
Collector’s Edition (all shiny foil): Around $249.99 per deck or $1,249 for all four
Why it’s cool: Themed perfectly for fans of each game. You don’t have to build anything—just sleeve them up and play!

Play Booster Packs – Great for Just Cracking Packs

Play Boosters are your standard card packs. You get 14 cards per pack, and there’s a mix of commons, uncommons, rares, and maybe even foils. If you like surprises or want to build your own deck, this is where to start.

Price: About $7.99 each or $184.99 for a box of 30
Why it’s cool: Perfect for fans who enjoy collecting or drafting with friends.

Collector Boosters – For the Shiny Stuff

These are the fancy packs. Collector Boosters come with foils, alt-art, extended borders, and sometimes even serialized cards. If you’re all about that high-end, collectible bling, this is it.

Price: Around $429.99 for a box of 12 packs
Why it’s cool: You’re getting the flashiest versions of the cards. NOT CHEAP, but some cards can be VERY, VERY valuable.

Bundles – A Nice Mix of Everything

There are two bundles to choose from:

Standard Bundle: Comes with 9 Play Boosters, 2 extended-art foil cards, and a bunch of lands (some shiny, some not). Price: Around $69.99

Gift Bundle: Everything in the Standard Bundle, plus a Collector Booster and a nice storage box. Price: Around $89.99
Why it’s cool: A solid pick if you want a good mix of cards and don’t want to go all in on boosters or Commander decks.

Prerelease Pack – For Early Birds and Casual Play

The Prerelease Pack is made for local events, but anyone can grab one. It comes with 6 Play Boosters, a foil promo card, and a spindown life counter die.

Price: Around $39.99
Why it’s cool: It’s a fun way to try the set early or play casually with friends, especially if you like the idea of building decks from a smaller card pool.

So, What Should You Get?

Just starting out? The Starter Kit is the simplest way to begin.
Want the MTG x Final Fantasy experience with friends? Pick a Commander deck that matches your favorite game.
Simply love opening packs? Go for the Play Boosters.
All about that shiny cardboard? Collector Boosters or the foil Commander decks are where it’s at!
Buying for a friend or yourself? The Gift Bundle is a nice, all-in-one treat.

You can find these products at local game stores, big online retailers, and official MTG distributors.

If you’re after specific cards, trading or buying singles (meaning specific cards) from trusted sellers might be more practical than cracking packs. Just shop around a bit, and you’ll find a deal that works for your budget and playstyle.
