One of the most eagerly awaited crossovers in the trading card world is just around the corner. Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy are joining forces, with the highly anticipated set releasing on June 13, 2025. The only set still widely available for pre-order from major retailers is the Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy Starter Kit, now back in stock at Amazon for $19.87. UK readers can secure theirs for £15.99.

With other sets sold out and some individual cards fetching over $500, it's wise to secure your pre-order before they disappear quicker than a Chocobo on the run.

The excitement around this set has been building since its announcement, further amplified by a thrilling new trailer. The market for single cards is already showing impressive prices, with the borderless version of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, listed at $147.23, and its Surge Foil variant commanding an astounding $599, making it the priciest card in the entire set.

If you've already secured your pre-order or are scouting for rare singles, several cards stand out as must-haves in the coming weeks. A notable mention is the stunning borderless Kefka, Court Mage card, showcased in the new MTG teaser trailer from PAX East, illustrated by the renowned Final Fantasy artist, Yoshitaka Amano.

TCG Player is an excellent resource for acquiring a diverse range of single cards to enhance your deck without relying on luck from booster packs. It's also a valuable tool for tracking the worth of your cards post-release, particularly if you're lucky enough to pull Surge Foil cards, which could turn into a significant financial boon. However, remember that card values can fluctuate, so some prices may shift as the release date approaches.

Other notable cards to watch for in booster packs or consider purchasing individually include the Cloud, Ex-Soldier Commander card, currently priced at $45.99 due to its strategic advantage in equipping other creatures on the field. The full-art Yuffie Kisaragi - Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, is also a highlight at just under $100, valued for its rarity and iconic Final Fantasy VII art style.

The premium cards can be particularly costly, such as the Traveling Chocobo card, with its borderless version at $169.98 and the standard at $114.97. A teaser trailer even showcased a limited edition Gold Chocobo variant of this card.

While hunting for the rarest cards can be expensive, TCG Player offers many singles at more affordable prices, 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 is also taking pre-orders for select Final Fantasy booster sets, albeit at prices above the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). The options include a nine-booster Final Fantasy bundle with bonus cards for $87.99, a 30-pack Play Booster Display box for $164.99, and single sealed boosters for $7.99 each, all plus shipping.

For those pre-ordering the Starter Kit, note that each deck is pre-constructed and does not include boosters to open. Instead, you'll find one traditional foil legendary creature, five brand-new non-foil cards debuting in Magic, and 54 cards from the main set. The kit also includes four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards (one per deck), and two deck boxes, offering substantial value for just $20.

For new Magic: The Gathering players, the Arena code cards are particularly advantageous. You can redeem both decks to play online, allowing you to learn the game at your own pace through AI matches or competitive play.
