One of the most eagerly anticipated trading card crossovers in recent years is almost upon us. The Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set is set to launch on June 13, 2025, and the only product still widely available from major retailers is the Starter Kit. You can now preorder it from Amazon for just $19.87, while UK readers can secure it for £15.99. Given that the rest of the sets have sold out and some singles are already fetching over $500, it's wise to lock in your preorder before it disappears as quickly as a Chocobo on the run.

Release Date: June 13, 2025. Pay nothing until dispatch.
The excitement for this upcoming set has been building ever since its announcement, and a new trailer has further amplified the anticipation. In the singles market, prices are already soaring. The borderless version of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, is currently listed at $147.23, while the Surge Foil version commands an impressive $599, making it the priciest card in the entire Final Fantasy set.
If you've already secured your preorder or are hunting for rare singles, there are several standout cards to watch in the coming weeks. One such card is the stunning borderless Kefka, Court Mage, which was showcased in the new MTG teaser trailer from PAX East, featuring the legendary Final Fantasy artist, Yoshitaka Amano.

TCG Player is an excellent resource for acquiring a wide range of single cards to enhance your deck without relying on luck from booster packs. It's also a valuable tool for assessing the value of your cards once the new set is released. If you manage to pull any Surge Foil cards from your booster pack preorders, you could find yourself sitting on a valuable asset. However, it's important to remember that card prices are dynamic and may fluctuate as the release date approaches.
Among other highlights to watch for when opening boosters or considering standalone purchases is the Cloud, Ex-Soldier Commander card, priced at $45.99. This card's value is driven by its ability to equip other creatures on the field easily. Additionally, the full-art version of Yuffie Kisaragi - Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, is currently listed just under $100, due to its dual use as a Commander and its rarity, especially with its classic late '90s FF7 art style.
The most expensive cards in the set include the eye-catching $599 Cloud, Midgar Mercenary (Surge Foil), and the borderless Traveling Chocobo card, which costs $169.98. Even the standard version of the Traveling Chocobo card is priced at a steep $114.97. There was also a teaser trailer featuring a limited edition Gold Chocobo for the new Traveling Chocobo cards.
While some of the rarest cards can be quite expensive, TCG Player also offers more affordable options. You can find cards like Sazh's Chocobo for $1.96, Tonberry for $2.49, the useful Summon: Shiva for $1.56, and even Gladiolus Amicitia for just 33 cents.
Moreover, TCG Player is currently hosting preorders for select Final Fantasy booster sets, though at prices above the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). These include the nine-booster Final Fantasy bundle (plus bonus cards) for $87.99 and a 30-pack Play Booster Display box for $164.99, both of which are around $20-$30 above MSRP. Single sealed boosters are also available for $7.99 each.

For those preordering the Starter Kit, it's important to note that each deck in the set is preconstructed and does not include boosters to open, meaning no chance of pulling those $600 cards. Instead, the kit includes one traditional foil legendary creature, five brand-new non-foil cards debuting in Magic, and 54 cards from the main set. It also comes with four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards (one per deck), and two deck boxes, offering excellent value for just $20.
For new Magic: The Gathering players, the MTG 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.
