These cards are part of the "Through the Ages" bonus sheet included in the larger main set. While these aren’t entirely new cards in terms of mechanics, their unique art makes them stand out. They’re reimagined versions of existing cards, adorned with artwork inspired by the Final Fantasy series—from its earliest days to its most recent installments.

Why These Cards Stand Out
What makes these cards truly special is their rarity and the stories behind them. Five of the six cards are Rares, ensuring they won’t appear as frequently. However, the Uncommon Thrum of the Vestige stands out as a reimagining of one of Magic: The Gathering’s most iconic cards, Lightning Bolt. Its inclusion is bound to create buzz among collectors and players alike.
Additionally, the Warrior of Light version of Jodah, the Unifier is set to be a fan favorite. As a staple Commander card, this reimagining with Amano’s original art will resonate deeply with fans. Another highlight is the reillustration of Cecil Harvey from Final Fantasy IV, now representing Tymna the Weaver, one of Magic’s most powerful partner commanders.
Digital Release
These cards will launch physically on June 13, but the digital versions will be available even earlier—on June 10—via platforms like Magic: The Gathering Arena and MTGO. For Final Fantasy enthusiasts who haven’t ventured into the world of Magic: The Gathering, there’s still plenty to get excited about. Tetsuya Nomura, director of the FF7 Remake series, hinted that the design of Sephiroth on one card carries a cryptic twist.
